Let's put it this way, if you want my Tundra you will have to pry it
out of my cold dead hands.

It's a great truck - rides well, quiet, nicely finished, reliable,
half-way decent fuel economy (for a V8 gas truck).

According to MSN Auto, the User rating places Ford F-150 #1, with a 7.7,
the Ram w/ 7.6 and Tundra w/ 7.3. Consumer Reports rated the old Tundra
their number 1 rated truck.

Edmunds and Car Connection rates the F-150 the best rated used truck to
buy, while Consumer Reports rates the Toyota as the best used truck to buy.

It is obvious, that the only thing everyone can agree on, is don't buy a
GM truck.

No, GMC owners don't need to brag about their truck to feel good about
their purchase. They just do.

FORD RULES!!!

WHOO HOO!!!

Anybody with a socket wrench and five minutes could easily reverse the outcome
of that dummied up test.

When Ford's start regularly going 200,000+ miles without anything besides minor
routine maintenance, please let me know. That is NOT their present reputation.

What exactly does pickup box bounce indicate, anyway? Maybe Ford needs to do
some homework. It may be an advantage for the mighty oak tree to sway in the
wind, rather than standing firm and breaking. Most competent engineers know
that.

So.. is it a guy with a wrench or advanced engineering that make the
thing a limp as JSB's.... ??

You can't have it both ways you know. Besides your Mighty Oak
reference is useless, different tool, different job, different
enginering. My hammer has an oak handle, and if it was a limp as that
truck body, I would not get much work done. Personally, ladder frame
and all, If I am crawling though the trails, or even carrying a
generator across the lot, I want a stiff frame, I want to know exactly
where the tires are all the time.

We used to do a lot or four wheeling, mostly woods and trails (no
sand) and the last thing I would want is that kind of ride. The ford
looked like Callaway active suspension there, you could almost drink a
cup of coffee.

BTW, I like Jeeps, and almost anything GMC. Dad is a Ford man and his
1983 ran till we sold it in 94 to a guy for a farm truck, still going
strong, er, the part that's not rusted;)

That's a good idea, except that we're discussing the prime movers for a lot
of towed boats. Now, if you had one that needed towing, you'd understand
why the subject is appropriate for this group.

Does name-calling put you in the exalted Harry Krause category?
