And one of your tunes would make it move as good as it looks!



Agreed. One of my biggest regrets was not tuning my MKS sooner. I'm LMS tuned and loving every second of it (also have 40K left on my warranty but I'm not concerned about anything happening because it's a very solid tune)

Switch to a SSI tune and you will loose your mind. Best tuner out there.

I went with the 5.0 simply for future exhaust options.

Kind of wish we had waited for the new 10 sp and 3.5 powerboost.


But then I'll want the next redesign...then wait for more power etc...

Never pleased when buying new.

Not to hikack his thread but the stripe came with this interior which is mostly the reason why I wanted that package

LMFAO! No I gotta it from Porter, I got $1,500 returning money. But your truck(I'm sure) is the reason. I saw it in May in the Newark shopping center and said I need that.

Thanks, but the LMS tune is running great and I'm more than happy.

OP - The shifting improvements alone make a tune worth it. I flashed back to stock the other day to take my car in for recall work and I can't believe how lazy the factory shifts are. I'll retune it this weekend because I want to try and get a before and after acceleration video.

That's a sweet looking trucking and I'm a fan of the stripe and that particular truck option.

I honestly don't mind the chrome on the lariat's with the mirror caps and grille. I wouldn't have minded a 5.0 but this motor seems super capable and I knew I wasn't going to modify this.

Yeah, same here. The fully equiped chrome package XLT (XTR in Canada) looks weird compared to the Sports.

I kinda kick my ass for not choosing a 3.5 EB though.

You say that, but don't take a spin in a tuned EB if you want to stick to it.
