I am going to keep my F150 thank you. Nice ride and pulls a boat and
has 4x4 for the winter. Try that with a pint sized electric car up a
long hill.

Harry had a F-150 not too long ago and often reported in this NG what a
great truck it was.

That's before he sharpened his political correctness.

Now a US made truck is crap because he owns a Japanese model.

I haven't owned an F150 for nearly 10 years. It was a good truck. The
Toyota truck that replaced it was better. I doubt I ever stated the
US-made truck was "crap." I have heard those sorts of allegations,
however, from SW Tom and I believe from you.


I think I only called one US truck I have owned as "crap" or a similar word
and it really wasn't the truck .... it was the engine. The '05 F-350 with
the Ford/Navstar 6.0 L diesel was failure prone. I was left stranded 3
times with it within the first 11k miles. "That" was crap.

Boy, time flies when you're having fun, huh? Seems like only yesterday you
were full of compliments for Ford regarding your F-150.

As I said, it was a good truck. But the Toyota was a better truck.
That's why I traded in the Ford for the Tundra.
