Harley Davidson trim package is awesome......but give us some $$$ numbers.

I'm guessing the truck is +- $55,000 with the Roush package.

If you get a chance, check out a GMC Denali......over 400HP WITHOUT a blower.

True, I wonder what it would do with a blower or turbo. Probably 550hp easy.

im dont even know if dodge has supercharged the ram and sold it yet, all they did was make the gtx, daytona and rumble bee limited edition trucks . i really wish they would supercharge a ram tho, it would be 500 HP easy.

but i checked out one of those f150 nitemares, SWEEET TRUCK.
fast as hell. scary fast. only like 100 made or something like that, a dealer had one for sale used and i test drove it yesterday. i could see people getting into troulbe with that machine.

they had it listed for 45K.

I'm not into anything GMC has to offer. The GM dealerships up here suck. I dont care who you want to be loyal to, without a good service department, your truck ain't &^%$#$^.

Here in Fairbanks if you want a Chevy and don't want to deal with the local Chevy dealer, you can drive 400 miles to the next dealer (Anchorage) and it is owned by the same folks

Well, instead of giving negative rep points when not in agreement, (won't mention names) I actually check facts/claims as to their authenticity.


Talked to a Dennis at Seekins Ford ( 888-873-6604) and was told there is no Roush Harley Davisdon.

They do have one Saleen Harley with a blower at $48,000, it is a 2WD.....and as usual with Ford, there are no incentives on the Harley Davidson.

(wondering of what use a 2WD truck would be in Alaska anyway)



But to me, credibility is a lot more important than neg. rep points.....

2-valves/cylinder won't be a problem for the Boss, not with canted valves and a 4.015" bore.

650Lb torque that should get the truck rolling down the road




The Boss engine is a forthcoming all new large-displacement V8 engine project at Ford Motor Company. The engine project was reportedly canceled in 2005 as the company focused on its existing Modular V8 and V10, but was reportedly revived in early 2006 by Mark Fields. [1] The large engine will compete with DaimlerChrysler's 6.1 L and larger Hemi engines and General Motors' 6.2 L Vortec engine. The Boss V8 will be built at Cleveland Engine in Cleveland, Ohio and the first application will be the Lincoln Navigator quickly followed by special edition Ford F150s.

The Boss engine will reportedly displace 6.2 L (6207 cc/379 in³) and produce roughly 425 hp (317 kW) and 425 lb·ft (576 N·m) upon introduction. The engine architecture will offer the ability to exceed 7.0 L in future applications. Reports indicate the Boss will retain several design similarities with the Modular V8 such as deep skirt block with cross bolted main caps, crankshaft driven gerotor oil pump, and overhead camshaft valve train arrangement. The Boss' single most significant departure from the Modular V8 will be seen in the wider 4.53 in (115 mm) bore centerline (The Modular V8 is 3.94 in (100 mm) by comparison). The 6.2 L will reportedly employ a 4.015 in (102 mm) bore diameter and a 3.74 in (95 mm) stroke to achieve it's 6.2 L of displacement. The initial versions of the Boss will have single overhead camshafts, two valves per cylinder, two spark plugs per cylinder and employ a form of cylinder deactivation for increased fuel economy and reduced emissions.

Initial information on valve sizes of the 6.2 L puts the intake valve at 2.10 in and the exhaust valve at 1.65 in. [2] Later high-performance versions will be equipped with DOHC 4-valve heads and gasoline direct injection (GDI). A "TwinForce" 6.2 L DOHC 4-valve, twin-turbo, GDI version of the Boss is being developed and has reportedly produced over 650 lb·ft (881 N·m) in testing, although there are no known plans time to install this engine in a production application.

Roush Racing is currently field testing an experimental, large displacement version of the Boss engine code named "777" (7.0 L, 700 hp @ 7,000 rpm) at National Mustang Racers Association (NMRA) events around the United States. The 777 Boss is naturally aspirated and runs on e85 biofuel.

The engine was initially called the "Hurricane", but this was changed in mid 2006 to the storied Boss name in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. [3]

I heard that the 2009 f150 is going to be around the 315-325 hp and over 400lb of tq that not bad being that it will have a six speed, here is something to think about the nisson titan has 317hp and 385lb of tq and its only a little slower than the new toyo lets not give p so easy i have a feeling ford is holding off for a reason ford knows it has to stay on top of its game its due or die if not
