Anything that Tundra can do my F150 can do better, while getting better mpg, look better, ride better, and tow more.

Pulling shite ain't even that big of a deal.

Changing gears and stopping with it is.

When your product lacks street cred with the intended purchaser, you will do stupid crap to establish said cred.

That being said, that advertising money would have been better spent redesigning that ridiculous dash and console layout.

You're absolutely right, Ford thought twice about what it had originally intended to do and turned it's corporate jet around after it heard all the complaining from the tax paying public... And I don't remember directing any animosity toward Ford, do you? If I did, I humbly apoligize..

I used my truck to stand the shuttle up on the launch pad.

Now THAT is impressive.

I laugh when I hear it, but you have to remember the avg IQ of who theyre marketing too. After all, the majority voted for BO twice

Downshift, Im looking at a truck I think you would approve of. Looking at a new 2012 F250 stripped down. Vinyl seats, floor boards, etc. I do have to have the power package though. Have to be able to roll my windows down and I dang sure cant reach them all while driving.

I agree with a lot of what you said re: GM. I hate a mofo that don't pay their bills.

I drive a Ford F250.


You are a about a brand-loyal SOB, ain't ya.

no, not at all... i just believe that if i waste my money and don't pay my debts, I shouldn't expect anyone else to do it for me. As far as the other brands go,,,, nothing directed at them... I guess it was a coincidence that I drive a Tundra and your ugly dash comments came from "vette guy"...
