Default Forbe's "Worst Vehicles on the Road"

Check out Forbe's "Worst-Made Vehicles On The Road"...

It lists the Ford F-250 as one of those vehicles???

I'm very surprised??...My opinion...Escalade-yes...F-250-no...

I wouldn't trust them to rate tooth brushes.As a professional
auto/truck/med duty wrench I can tell you that list seems a bit jaded. Hummm all domestics minus the aveo. How easily they seem to forget the lovely turds europe and japan blessed us with over the years.Kinda sounds like someones trying to make them selves feel better about spending 70k on a family sedan. ooooo well to each there own! Besides they ranked cleveland as the most miserable city, and while i can tell you its not the greatest, its way better then 2/3 of the places Iv been in the country.


O and to answer your question I like the superdutys a lot. Great trucks minus the 6.0 the 7.3 was great though! But according to forbes you should prob get rid of it and get a tundra and a matching man purse haha
take care

Sounds like your friend is really ragging on his motors because the 6.4s are not that bad.

I do believe it is based on warranty claims, recalls, etc. not on someones opinion.

I've had 7 Ford diesels since 1997. 7.3, 6.0, 6.4. No trouble from any of them. The 08 6.4 has been my favorite. It's turned way up with a Spartan 250hp program since new. I will buy another and do the same.

haha i wasn't talking about the Escalade. I think they are quite a nice ride, i was making a joke about the editor most likely owning a expensive euro ride trying to make himself feel better about it.
