The blue truck is not that loud though. Flowmaster 40s. It’s not fast enough to be obnoxiously loud , lol.
The black one has a turbo
Between the motor and the tailpipe…..hahaha. It’s loud even if you’re tone deaf where you can’t h
Problem here you cannot modify the vehicles unless you have an engineering certificate. So the bulk of them eun around as stock
Wish we had a law like that here in the USA.
Totally agree. Safety in modifications should be a priority

I live a couple of hundred yards from a highway and sometimes have to suspend outdoor conversations due to load vehicles going by. I should not have to put up with that. I was brought up to respect others. As this world gets more and more crowded we are going to have adjust our behavior to accommodate closer neighbors. The days of Danielle Boone where he moved farther into the wildness if he could here the neighbor's dog bark are long past.

I have been meaning to ask this for a long time now. It is clear from all of your posts that you have an irrational hatred for the US. I have not only seen it in this forum, but other forums as well from doing a quick google search. Why is that you hate us so much and go out of your way to trash our stuff in forums on a regular basis?
LOL... Had to copy/paste your comment a few months ago and thought it was fitting in this thread. And I understand why you do this.
And this is one of the reasons why I kept away from this forum. Too much brand bashing and my favorite brand is better than your favorite brand instead of just enjoying what we have. I understand why it happens and why people do it, but I'd rather just stay away from it.
Just checked in after six months only to see nothing has changed. See ya'll in another six. Hopefully this forum will get past this by then

You know what they say….
I did put a resonator on the diesel though. Straight piped was rough up the passes with a trailer behind it!
And the blue truck ain’t that loud. 40s. Doesn’t have enough hp to live up to anything louder.
But I did hear my kid romp on the blue truck and a couple of his buddies in their trucks, about 2 miles away thru the woods tonight! Was pretty ??

I have seen in your posts s totally irratuonal posts of anything non US or US posters who disagree with you.
I dislike non-US things yet I drive a BMW, had several Toyota pickups over the years, and many other non-US vehicles. In fact, I am a car guy and can appreciate vehicles from every brand and one of my favorite cars is not even American.
I think you are confusing my correction of false information as me disliking things. I don't dislike vehicles from other countries, just when people post false information especially when they do just to put down my country.

Ironic part is that I accidently passed up a media release about the F150 in Australia and wanted to read more about it. So, I Googled it and this thread was in the first page. I am kind of regretting that I clicked on it.

Ironically, as well, it’s easy to see that the “old” combative US hating Robert Ryan must’ve gotten a stern warning from the mods here. So now he just posts the same drivel, but tones down the hatred and is almost silent in his retorts.
Could teach a whole psychology course just about this forum! lol.

If your 22 than you have a lot to learn about the Global Automotive landscape. Ever wondered why US Pickups are " lifestyle Vehicles" like the Taxoma in Australia? and non existent Globally except Australia? . Your as anti non US as Shinerbrock. As a result this could be interesting sub branch of the forums has died. It used to have some pretty interesting posts. Other catergories on RV NET are still pretty vibrant.
