The Ford F-150 pickup truck has been the best selling vehicle in the
country for about thirty years. Ford didn't make people buy them.

If they'd have stuck with the F150, Ford would be in fine shape. *But
they're not in trouble for building F150's are they?


And you knew that.


The F150 and E150 are still their bread and butter. They dress up that
chassis to make the luxury SUVs and fancy vans but they are still
F150s when you look under the skin.

We also have a 2000 Explorer but that is an inferior car chassis in a
truck suit.- Hide quoted text -
