Ford f150 4.9l 4x4 on the freeway?
I'm think about getting an early 90s f150 4x4 with a 4.9l and a 5speed. Will it be able to go 70mph or so easily? Can I still get the good milage going that fast? What is the top speed it could go comfortably without reving to high?
Would you recommend anything else?
It will easily go 80 MPH, but the mileage won't be great. A tonneau cover will help mileage a lot. A chevy or GMC truck with a 6.2 will get pretty good mileage
- Is it safe to drive a ford ranger on the freeway for long trips? Can a ford ranger safely sustain speeds of 85-90 mph without any problems at all? I'm looking for a pickup truck that can haul stuff and is good for driving off roaming occasionally but I also what a pickup that has good performance as well. My question is can a 2007 ford ranger XLT 4.0 v6 5 speed manual sustain speeds of 85-90 mph or is that pushing the limits of this truck?
- How is fording a river in a manual 4x4 different to an automatic 4x4? I had forded a river with a LR Defender before and usually stuck it in Low 2nd gear and push through the river at 2-3k rpm. Luckily I never got stuck in the middle but I remember reading somewhere that it is easier to ford rivers with an automatic gearbox due to the lack of clutch housing? Since automatic gearbox won't really stall in the middle of the river, would it be okay to shift it in reverse if stuck?

- Doing the exhaust on my 99 ford f150 xlt 5.4 triton v8 4x4 8in lift 40in tires? I'm going with the magna flow performance true dual 3in outlet, but want to run 45% elbows with MBRP 5in inlet and 8in outlet tips to come out after the rear tires at an angle. How could I get the 3in to an 5in and would it even sound good?
