I guess Ford doesn't want to be #2 in the power segment.

Exactly what I'm thinking... They're running Class 7 power numbers with a class 5 license requirement, and a heavy aftermarket performance industry ready to increase that even further...

do they look at trucks different than cars since trucks are designed to work (haul and pull trailers) and cars are designed to carry passengers and not haul and pull heavy loads? meaning trucks have a higher hp/tq need. i hope this makes sense to someone.
#7
Classes are broken into GVW's, you know that, but the corresponding power levels for these trucks generally falls into a certain range. 400hp/700tq stock is definitely far more than adequate for a class 5 truck considering 15 years ago the same truck was getting by with like 60% of that, 10 years ago 75%...GVW has stayed more or less the same though during that time.
