No it won't. The 2v gets thrashed bad. The 3v won't either. Been there done that.

I right now, have both trucks on my lot. Both motors. drive both regularly. No way the 5.4 Furd, is giving a healthy 5.3 anything it can't handle lol.

A guy i worked with on the race team bought a new 3v 5.4 truck. My buddy chris thrashed him with his 5.3 truck and i did with my 2500hd 6.0 truck to. He took it back to the dealer and asked if anything was wrong with it

He was a furd guy so his perspective on performance was low. He actually thought the truck ran good till we thrashed him.

I think that's why ford guys think ecoboosts are fast. They're coming from 3v's

I already beat a 2013 5.0 truck in a 1/8 race. The 5.3 is weak af. Ran a 2500 6.0 and it was a good run.

Ran a friends 2500 6.0 truck and it was neck and neck. He pulled slightly above 80. I will run a early 2000s 5.3 truck any day of the week.

You see this is how i know you're full of ****. Same configuration trucks and the 5.3 and 6.0 2500 hd accelerate almost identical with a slight edge to the 2500hd. Both will outrun the 5.4....a 2v 5.4 stands no chance at all.

The only way any of the 5.4s could win is to have a configuration advantage.

A 5.4 f250 vs a 6.0 2500 get the 5.4 embarassed quickly.

The best part is you could get the6.0 in vortec max trucks. So now we've got the chevy truck dumbed down to a 5.3 just so the furd can even attempt to keep up.

Not when compared to 5.4 trucks.


Buddy of mine brought a truck out here one day he borrowed. This been a few yrs ago now but it was a newer furd then. 3v era truck. I asked him what was in it he said as sluggish as it was it has to be a 6cyl. It ended up being a 4.6

It was just a 2wd work truck to and it was likely about the slowest vehicle i have ever been in.

A 4 banger s10 is definitely the slowest vehicle I've likely ever been in
