So today I got to drive my Uncles F-150 Lariat. It’s YUUUGE! I don’t know the year, but I’d reckon it’s the newest one that doesn’t have a touchscreen/infotainment. The thing feels bigger than a damn Humvee. I was driving by a Tundra, which as DOUG has pointed out is huge in it’s own right, and my knee was about level with the guy’s head. It’s nuts. I felt some type of way about the interior. I’m normally not an interior snob, but there was something up with this one. The same problem many modern cars experience in my opinion. It’s nice, but cheap at the same time. It’s weird. Like I said IMO this is common in many modern cars, but oh well.
I think it was a 5.0 V8 with an auto of course. It was fast, but you couldn’t feel it. Throttle response was terrible, the way to accelerate was to floor it, get the kickdown, then let off the throttle as much as you need. But it is fast mark my words.
Anyhoo. My new goal in life is too own an automatic V8 car at one point. An El Camino would fit the bill perfectly, but I could do with a Mustang, because reasons.
That is all.
Edit: Also at around 3,500 RPM. It hurt my ears. Not how loud it was, but just some kind of weird frequency thing.

“Don’t drink and post on Oppo”
Yeah because whenever I do, I post an incoherent AMA when I don’t actually answer any questions.

Fun fact: as far as exterior dimensions go, full size trucks haven’t really changed at all in size in the past 30-ish years. Just higher belt lines and thicker body cladding for safety stuff makes them look and feel larger.
Also, there’s a reason American land yachts of the 70s and 80s were auto V8s. Torque delivery every time you pushed the pedal without having to worry about anything else.

Yeah I noticed that. It’s mainly the height that bothered me. The crazy thing is it’s stock. Also I think it was an EcoBoost, based on it being a later model and the annoying frequency thing. But still lots of torque. It also screamed rather than rumbled, know that I think about it.

There’s a staggering number of clean El Caminos driving around Northwest SA. You’ll see when you get here. You might give in to buying one sooner than you expect.

TL;DR
I only post on Oppo when I’m drunk.

Counterpoint: Oppo was made for shitposting. So drunk posts are the good posts and sober ones are the shitposts.

Obviously, then, this is the truck for you.
But you can’t have it. Go find your own toys :)
