i love seeing these things doing work though. that engine is probably barely breaking a sweat. i hope that means you get to the track feeling super fresh and smelling of fine Corinthian leathers now.
The wheelbase is 114" which is about what my SWB Yukon was. It is roughly 30" shorter than the F150, both overall and in wheelbase. But, people tow fairly big stuff with 114" WB and if you have the proper hitch setup (with weight distribution and sway control) it's okay.
The car was loaded up sort of sideways last night because I was exhausted, and I got one bit of almost-sway on the Toll Road at 70 mph. Was very easy to rein back in.
The engine sounds awesome being wound out under load, and is happy to loaf along at 1900 rpm in 6th if the road is flat enough.
