Friday Beerblog: Stinger Hitch Helper Helps Level Your Ride
 While posting up other stories this morning, a particular product popped up in our "Truck Swag" portion of the site that caught my eye and I instantly thought "What the hell is that?".
That product is called the Stinger Hitch Helper, a 55 pound hitch system that fits any 2 inch receiver and helps level your pickup truck. Made with a coil spring that provides a smooth ride and easy height adjustment, the single hitch is rated for 910 pounds capacity at 65 miles per hour. There's also a dually hitch available, rated at 1,800 pounds at 65 miles per hour.
Now here's the catch... the single wheel unit is available for a raping $599 dollars and the dually unit at $1,129. For that price you can get a whole different spring leaf pack and increase your load rating safely.
For more information about the Stinger Hitch Helper head on over to Truck Hownd.

Blade Exhaust Filter Reduces Pollution By 57 Percent
 Gizmodo posted an eco-friendly exhaust product called "Blade", which is a filter for your exhaust pipe that helps reduce vehicle air pollution by up to 57 percent and CO2 emissions by 34 percent, according to their website. The product also claims to increase your fuel economy by up to five miles per gallon.

Ford EcoBoost Engine For F-150 To Produce Significant Power Gains Over Current Model
 Advanced Engine Design Manager, Brett Hinds of Ford Motor Company believes the 3.5 liter six cylinder EcoBoost engine that will find its way into the Ford F-150 pickup truck in 2010 will produce "significantly more than 340 horse power and 340 foot pounds of torque" which beats the current 300 horse power 5.4 eight cylinder currently offered with the pickup truck. The new EcoBoost option is also believed to be equipped with two turbochargers, which prove to be very fuel efficient while producing more power. There is also a chance that the EcoBoost engine may find itself under the hood of the re-designed 2010 Ford Mustang but that has yet to be confirmed. Truck owners, get excited. Reported by AutoNews
