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. Your way off on that one. Ford's trucks are well known for being able to take a beating, always have been. And lasting longer than anyone else. Try beating the Toyota the same way, and you will end up getting to know their service manager on a first name basis. Take a look around, if the Toyota is so good, why are their none in any large fleets that see heavy use? The fleet buyers know what Consumer Reports doesn't. Their concerned about service life, value and cost of ownership, their not concerned about resale values that are based on someone's preception, they have to live in the real world, their jobs depend on it. The Toyota's just fine for a home owner's trips to Home Depot, or the guy that never hauls anything, but if it's going to get abused on a regular basis, it'll end up a very expensive low milage junker. You forgot to post the source of your data for your claims about Toyota trucks. Please do so right now. Weren't you the one who said to take the truck talk elsewhere, which got you the approval of HK? Now, are you implying, by your request, that Toyota trucks are *not* good for trips to Home Depot? -- John H |

I just want to know if you were the one who was just admonishing me, with Harry's approval, of course, for participating in a truck discussion on rec.boats. Is Harry's approval important to you? -- John H |
