Hauling a KT100 Tony Kart in our long-term 2015 Ford F-150 seemed like a no-brainer, but still required some wrenching to make it fit.

    It would be interesting to see some performance testing numbers on the cart.

    There, now you've got another excuse to use the thing on company hours. Enjoy :)

    I have a 2013 F-150 XLT SuperCrew with the 5.0 Coyote. I love that truck. As far as fuel economy, I'm averaging about 18 mpg. If I am careful, I can actually edge the highway mileage up to 28 mpg, if I hold it steady at 62MPH. Recently, I had to get the body fixed due to a deer (who had no insurance). During that time, I had a rental 2015 with the 3.7 liter base V-6. That thing was a dog and averaged about 13 mpg. I was actually surprised, considering the F-150 with the aluminum body and the V6 got worse fuel economy than the 2013 steel body with a V8. Also, I don't like the new interior layout. The dials/switches have been moved downwards. My wife noticed that the airvents seem to "protrude" more than the 2013, which made her feel claustrophobic. As for the interior quality, I noticed things they skimped on, such as the floor cup holders that no longer slide under the center seat/console. Now, you have to lift the seatback, lift the seat bottom, pick up the cupholder, and flip it around.
