HUGE difference between an 01 ford 4.6 (~230hp) and a chevy 4.8 (~270hp), plus the added torque… my roommate had a 2001 f150 2wd and even though it was a rcsb it was slow as hell and generally boring to drive… the golden years for chevy trucks were from 1999-2007(classic)… for the money, it really is hard to find a more dependable, comfortable truck with enough power to get out of it’s own way imho… they also generally get better mpg than similarly equipped ford trucks of the same year
