I bought all these parts that I'm now selling because I was sure that I would keep my Marauder forever.
I knew as it got older, I would need certain parts that would wear out and then be very hard to find.
Now, everyone else who needs these parts can put them on their Marauders.
No worries....I really love the Marauder, one of the coolest cars I've ever owned!
But....I did it all wrong trying to make it go fast.
If I could do it all over again I would have spent my money on:
- Trilogy S/C kit
- 4.10 gears
- Good dyno tune
- Head cooling mod
- maybe Headers and exhaust.
After my $7,000+ Big Bore engine split between #1 & #2 cylinders I lost all interest in modding my often broken Marauder.
Its hard...and expensive to make a 4,300 lb sedan move with 281 cubic inches. I don't care how many valves you have.
My new Fusion Sport (2.7L twin turbo V6) hauls a$$ and gets great gas mileage....but doesn't sound like the Marauder nor does it have the 'rare/cool' factor.
I DO like having 2 'hairdryers' helping to move 3,850 lbs down the road!
My '99 Ranger has 291,000 miles and is, quite frankly, worn the 'F' out.
Every week something goes wrong with it...and I am tired of constantly fixing it.
Looking forward to a 2018 F150 STX with the 2.7L Ecoboost V6.
Compared to my 3.sl0w V6 Ranger the new F150 has:
- More than twice the HP (150 vs 325)
- More than twice the torque (180 vs 400)
- More than twice the gears ( 4 vs 10)
- More than 5 MPG hwy (21 max vs 26)
