Yeah it is a 2wd with a 300hp 3.7, tow package, 3.73 gears and limited slip. Does better than I thought it would pulling the Ranger. It will gain speed going up steep hills no problem. I love the truck, it is the nicest ride I have ever had.

A 5.0 or ecoboost would of been great but would of been to tempting to mess with the engines and I'm trying to get down to one hobby. My Cobra is for sell if anybody has the need for a blower car.
Very nice!
What MPG are you seeing?
