Default Bias?

Im noticing a strong bias to support Ford trucks over all others. Any reasons? Why not a Duramax especially with the new class leading ratings for 2011?

Hey I feel your pain. The new Ram trucks were named Motor Trend's 2010 TOTY, yet all these guys can talk about is Ferd Ferd Ferd.

What Powerstroke do you have now? From what I've read, the new 6.7 Scorpion shows great promise.

I posted about it on an LTL forum and let's just say those guys are not big fans of V8 diesels. Almost all of them drive Dodge Ram 3500/4500 trucks.

the new 6.7 Ford has out ..IS THE REAL DEAL..and they know it needs to be to stay in business.. 16k on a F250 not one problem and goes to N.O. twice a day loaded with 10-11k trailer...which is not a problem for this truck.. the power is excellent and fuel mileage is in the 19's at 70-72mph and 12.9-13.1 towing.....I just ordered a F350 SRW LWB with the 3.55 gears for my personal truck...almost bought the Cummins, but felt the Ford was more polished, better interior as far as comfort of seats, less road noise, less engine rattle, better ergonomics, and power was far superior. I also have a Duramax, but not the new one coming out.. The 08GM has been good, but not the best when towing vs the Ford.and the 6.4 litre Ford also didnt have any problems at 75k miles.....I will wait to see what happens when the new GM truck comes out and give it a fair comparision.. To me they are all good, + and -'s in every truck.. With this new motor, time will tell, but Im am extremely pleased, especially with the mileage and definitely with the power...Jeff

Ford is just the best truck. they are (in my opinion) the toughest. look at service trucks, delivery vans, and ambulances. ford dominates due to their durability. some of the diesels have set some people back a little. but that little bit of bad is all made up for in just having a ford truck

Who wants to buy a truck from Obama Motors?

What's the matter twinkle-toes. Your world caving in around you?

Have you found a job yet? Or are you still making your wife work, while you sit around your house in your under-ware.

Is that why you are so bitter and unhappy?

You may not be the biggest scumbag on this site, but you are right up there with him.
