    a Chevy hate Fords? Cause some of us drive both. Only people I know who hate Chevy or Fords actually had a bad experience with the vehicles and their dealerships. Then you can't really blame them for that.....

    the word "HATE" but then again who cares as this
    topic is here on a very limited time frame. oh

    ford but they seem to hate everything?

    My experience with Fords were all bad. Tranny problems, electrical problems,A/C problems & oil burning POS engines, left me walking many times. Then all the other minor things. I have also had a few minor issues with GM but nothing when compared to Ford. I changed to Nissan and Toyota and had minor problems with them too, so I am back with GM (last two trucks) and so far no problems. Until GM lets me down they will keep my business. If not I would give Ford a chance (maybe even the Toy Tundra if they grow it a little).

    Those "Calvin" sticker only illustrates the size of ignorance and lack of class one has while placing it on his vehicle.

    It could happen probably has both ways though. Everyone no matter what kinda truck they have can get stuck
  • rrichfrrichf Member Posts: 211
    I love my truck. The other brand of truck that I rented was really nice. A friend drives the third brand of truck and it is a cool truck. I've even been in that not full size other truck and it's comfortable.

    I'm happy with my truck. If you're not happy with your truck, I'm sorry. It's too bad that you can't brag about your truck.

    My truck is the best; but there's nothing wrong with your truck. I just like mine better.

    My truck is ..... Nah, it doesn't matter because I'm sure you like your truck better than mine.

    (Sort of like a Los Angelino's view of San Francisco.)

    and it deserves the axe Meredith....

    Actually I thought for sure Ryan would have started it...LOL

    I prefer chevy...but hate ford?..no..They are the 2 best Auto makers out there...all in all I put them about equal...with Chevy being better looking (to me..so shut up)...

    The two companys play leap frog every few years in designs and engines..etc...like right now Chevy has the engine advantage...especially with the Duramax and 8.1. Now before they stunk with the 6.5...but Ford will have something better...then Chevy..then Ford...

    Now Dodge?...they are off playing solitare or something?....who cares...they never have been considered competition.....The debate always has been Chevy VS Ford....always will be

    Me and a buddy both had similar 88 chevy's...mine went like hell and had very good reliability factor...he put 3 engines in...should I say Chevy sucks due to his probs?...no..look at mine...

    The idiots that get a bad one...then do nothing but cry and tell the world that brand sucks need to grow up...look around this entire site..you will find just as many Ford problems as Chevys...nothings perfect.

    Kill this topic Meredith!

    If you think it is such a dumb topic why did you contribute to its continued existance? It seems that if no one posts then it will get frozen.

    While I'm here though... I think that Ford has the best looking trucks, especially the Super Duty. Of course I'm biased I've owned more Ford's than any other trucks. Currently F250,sc,4x4,V10.

    By the way you said that Chebby has the advantage with the 8.1. I'm curious, I've heard about it but I haven't heard any numbers on it. Do you know them? If this topic does get frozen you can reply at #1849 if you don't mind.

    This is posted light-heartedly, all in fun.

    Dodge could blow the competition away if they would put a leaky 200 gallon fuel tank in the bed and equip the trucks with retread Firestone tires inflated to 22 psi.

    Really important things

    HMM main reason comfort in the cab. Backseat room (boy did that come in handy this weekend haha). Overall looks not just a little bowtie

    Ryan
  • obyoneobyone Member Posts: 7,841
    First you ask if GM owners would buy the truck if it said Tundra on it. Then you finish by saying you can keep all the logos, built by ford is all you need to know. So....what are you trying to say? Would you buy the truck you own now if it said Tundra on it? That's the correct analogy...talk about babbling...

    BTW, one of the reasons I bought the rado was cab size in an extended cab. If the Tundra had the best extended cab I would have considered it. I'm not loyal to GM, far from it. Just bought what suited my needs....hmm, didn't you state the same thing over and over and over....and over....
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    ...so knowing it was built by ford is all that matters to you......so how about we slap some Silverado and bowties on it?....

    ..after all....you don't care about that...

    Talk about blind loyalty...

  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    Contradictions contradictions.

    Why would you throw in the tundra in this conversation?

    what's this about a Yugo?
  • fordtuffordtuf Member Posts: 101
    I bought my TRUCK to tow and Haul, yes I did get a supercab though. I like the extra inside room for extra people once in a while. I got the Ford with 4 doors not other one with 3 doors.

    Hmm...??? Maybe that's why they made the cab a little bigger, so when you carry people back there they have room to crawl over to the other side.
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    Your ignorant (yes i am being blunt)

    6.0 is a great 1/2 ton? DUH they dont offer it in the 1/2 ton. Also cdean started this with the 5.3 vs the 5.4??? Why do you keep on harping about the 6.0 and v10 then???

    The 6.0 gets better mpg than the V10 guarenteed.
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    this is just the old Ford VS Chevy debate that has been going on for decades...(notice Dodge is not in there?)....and will continue for several more...

    You can think that logos are all I buy...but it's not true...(some people do...with all brands).

    In every debate there is a whiner...and I think you may be it?

    ...but that still doesn't change the fact that in some kind of way i still consider all here a friend of mine in one way or another...and would buy them a beer if we were at the bar

    Some people buy blind...but to say all GM fans do this...because you think so...well......whine away..

  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    Wow. I haven't even posted in this thread and i suddenly have accusations of not being civil.

    You can't show me where I wasn't civil..

    You can't show me where I said the 5.3 had some huge advantage over the 5.4.

    Cuz i never said it.

    I said it was equal...and that ruffled feathers.

    Can you talk trucks? or just trash?

    Oil monitoring systems, coolant loss safe engines, distributorless engines, highest industry mileage, flattest torque curves, tow/haul software for the transmission...all of this is legacy technology? And who again has blind loyalty?
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    Ok heres the numbers (ryanbab) Tue 05 Sep '00 (07:16 PM)

    I have no MPG numbers sorry

    V-10 (dont know the trans or rear end axle combo)

    310HP @ 4250 RPM
    425 ft/lbs @ 3250 RPM

    6.0 Liter V-8 (manual, 3.73 rear end)

    300 HP @ 4800 RPM
    370 FT/lbs @ 4000 RPM


    They (ford) will come up with something to answer the 8.1 and duramax/allison combo? Hmm funny havent heard anything about that. Only thing it seems they will counter with is another SUV (escape). I am not bashing ford F150 but when you said that the 6.0 belongs in a 1/2 ton and not a 3/4 ton you went way to far.

    Static ping (haha) yea my truck is all charged up. Dont touch it itll shock the hell out of you. Good theft deterant.

    Ryan
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    all you want about Ford has nothing to match against the 6.0...and it should be in a 1/2 ton....but sounds like you are just P'd cuz you wish Ford did have something?

    22 years....eh?.....sounds like we found the "blind loyalty"....eh?

  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    Thank you for proving me right.

    I never said the 5.3 had some Huge advantage over the 5.4.

    I said the GM outperformed the Ford in the pulling test.

    But hey, thanks for taking quotes out of context and doin' some twisting.


    You simply refuse to admit that GM has always had a bigger engine than the 6.0

    THE 454, 7.4 liter. How unclear is that? what don't you understand? You could always get that in a 3/4 ton GM truck.

    You seem to conveniently NOT read that everytime...

    Sorry muchacho, the world is not as blue-slanted as you wish it to be.

    this is ridiculous.
  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    According to F150rules, next month Ford will:

    up there v10 by over 40 hp and over 40 ft lbs of torque.

    Ford will also have changed their powerstroke out so that it can be boosted over 20 ft lbs of torque and (gasp) over 70 horsepower.

    ford will also have redesigned their entire truck so they can fit a medium duty transmission that is designed for 200,000 miles of heavy pulling and that has been proven in the medium duty market for years.

    Ford will do all that in the next month...and becuz they always..ALWAYS ante up.

    funny, no one has heard about any of this, and its all coming out so soon, before GM does this.

    Please. Who has blind loyalty? I have a one ton Chevrolet, and it is doesn't outperform today's Ford and it might outperform today's Dodge. more reliable, i hope. but tomorrow's GM HD outperforms everything.

    Come back to play when you can be objective.
  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    read many Many tests...

    where, my friend, where?

    Re post 42: nice job of twisting things around. This whole arguement is about FUTURE trucks and how ford will have to ante up GMs new performance level...and you argue about PAST sales.

    Huh?

    The entire time you've been comparing v10 to 6.0, and JUST NOW, you admit the 454 exists. 460 was only good for 100K miles in its hayday. 454 still goes strong.

    ok, the 460 is better than the 454, and the v10 is even better? well:

    the 454 gets:
    same mileage as v10
    same horsepower as Ford v10
    same torque as Ford v10
    hmmmm...does that make the 460 better than the v10 in your mind?

    You hate it when i present these kind of facts, you lose your cool. why can't you discuss civily?

    The more smoke you blow, the more obvious it is.
    I am not 'never wrong'. I just can very easily prove your BIASED VIEWS. I put out numbers, like above. Actual models, future and past. Facts.

    All you can produce is post 41 and 42. over and over again. reference, Rwell.

    I rest my case.

  • obyoneobyone Member Posts: 7,841
    According to your posts, you should go out and buy a ton of Ford stocks, since they will continue to be the sales leader. In fact, you may want to wait a bit as after congress and Venezuela get through with Ford and Firestone....their stocks will be at an all time low. Ford Explorer, the number 1 selling and killing suv of its time...

    ........"Yes, you know the facts and you don't like facing them. 6.0l = great 1/2 ton powertrain, but nothing all too exciting in a 3/4 ton."......

    hmmm...it seems to be much better than Fords base engine?...DOHH

    you would love to see the 6.0 gone in the 3/4..that way you could have less to cry about..

    ..How many times do we have to hear .."22 years of blind loyalty".??

  • bowhuntwi2bowhuntwi2 Member Posts: 80
    You know you can talk all about engines out lasting everything, but unless this new HD by GM is something great, GM doesn't have anything to compare to the Ford Super Duty Trucks.....
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    I highly doubt super duty owners will jump to the new chevy HD. Some might but the majority wont. But present owners of older models (3500 and 2500) sure will buy these.
  • obyoneobyone Member Posts: 7,841
    Looking at the quality of entry level trucks from the big three (1/2 ton) I think they all lack it. It seems that the better built trucks are the 3/4 tons and above.

    However, since you own a F150, let's compare. Yes, the silverado has problems as '99-'00 which can be considered the same truck during it's first production year had some problems. If we look at the F150, a search of the NHTSA site reveals 260 TSB's in the F150's first year out. I know that the Silverado/Sierra didn't have no where near that amount. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself.

    http://www.nhtsa.com/cars/problems/tsb/Servicemmy5.cfm

    So the theory that GM uses its customers to test their vehicles...well so does ford. 260 tsb's is quite a lot even for an intro year, wouldn't you agree? In fact, the 2000 F150 has 40 TSB's. Damn, you'd figure after three years they would be less than that...So it appears that ford is a leader in another truck catagory...TSB's...
  • bowhuntwi2bowhuntwi2 Member Posts: 80
    Yup looking at the TSB's Ford 150 does have 40, some are duplicates, GM Pickups have 12, and Dodge Ram has 3, does this mean the Dog is better, I doubt it. What better place can you find, then the people of america to use as a testing ground. Heck when I was a contractor doing work at A.O Smith, they were turning out frames for Dodge, Ford & Gm at the same plant, alot of parts from the big 3 are made at the same companies, so when one has complaints, they all have complaints and that trickles down to you & I yelling at each other about who's truck is better. If you don't like the products of American, go buy foreign,but there's one catch, once you drive it off the lot, buy a one-way ticket and go live there, you will fine the USA, isn't that bad after all. (sorry if I got off topic at the end)

    As far as post #47 goes:
    I guess it doesn't surprise me that this would come up to being insinuated that it was Ford's fault. How can you bring that up? Really?
    It is tragic and I think Ford is doing an admirable job in this issue. They have stated they are even cutting production of Explorer's to allow new tires to go to replacing older ones.

    As for Ford stock, if it does go down short term, everyone with any financial sense at all should buy as much as the can. I don't have exact numbers, but; you would not find many other companies models to compete in the market share of Ford products by category.

    F Series
    Explorer
    Expedition
    Ranger
    Mustang
    Taurus
    Windstar (O.K. Chrysler is hot too)

    Thanks for reading.
    Now how about taking a deep breath and relax a little? It's all for fun right? Well as long as everybody agrees that the F250 is the toughest looking truck made. And it's not bad towing either.
  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    Toughest looking? not toughest?

    just kidding ;)

    I didn't like the looks at first, but I do now. almost bought one earlier this year, but couldn't find used one with what I wanted on it. I found a Chevy with the right opts.

    This is partially Fords fault. whether they are 10% to blame or 50% blame I don't know....but the FACT is they CO_DESIGNED these tires with Firestone. Then FORD lowered the air pressure specs AFTER product release...which the NTSB has attributed to being a major cause of the failures.

    Yes, Ford, although they thought they could cover it up, has recovered, now that they see how bad the problem is. And they are doing the best job possible under the circumstance.

    Ford will not be hurt by this.

    Firestone will. they will probably be discontinued by Bridgestone.

  • eagle63eagle63 Member Posts: 599
    first off, I like both chevy and ford. The F150 would be my first choice, with a 1500 Silverado a close second. BUT, I really hate chevy's advertising campaign. their commercials are all geared towards rednecks. does anybody else notice this? my favorite is the one with the 2 hick farmers sitting on the porch talking about "..movin' them bails..." with their new silverado. and the "like a rock" song is so awful it makes me want to vomit. not that ford has great commercials either, but at least I don't feel like I need to take a shower after watching them. -eagle

    You've been talking about the Dura Max and the 8.1 AND Allison for months now!!!!!
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    was towards F150rules...he always says I can't talk about the duramax/8.1....because that's not now...it's the future...so I guess any new ford engines we can't talk about now either....

    At least the Duramax/8.1 can be ordered now....

    so take your complaint to him....he is the Truck God you know?
