How much did Ford pay you for post # 100 advertisement?
You are good! Ford ought to put you on TV.
I'm headed to the nearest Ford store right now to trade in my three vehicles for three
"Built Ford Tough" trucks! Yahoooooo!!!
"Just picture a longbed 4x4 F-250, with a 30 foot trailer behind it filled up to the brim. And the last leaf spring on the pickup was barely down to the conact points on the frame. With family on the inside, we drove back from Oklahoma to the McKinney area of north texas. His loaded up f-250 was hard to keep up with in our 2001 Accord."
Now pull my other leg it plays jingle bells.
Ok, Briefly: We could have easily beaten him in top speed (That 2.3l accord can do 100+ easy) However, when you get a speeding ticket going 25 miles over the limit (thanksgiving weekend, girlfriend driving) you don't want to chance another one on the way back home.
Do I have to put so much detail into every post?
Do you want my posts to be longer?
But the point was he was doing well over the speed limit in moderate traffic (about 85 or 90 when the limit was 65), and wasn't running out of steam any time soon. Some day you may know what a 7.3l Turbo Diesel engine can deliver. It's no race truck, but it can probably haul your house off it's foundation.
mrb11--->I'm not biased. If I see another brand that offers the same amount of vehicle for as good a price, I'll get one. My post was just reflecting on how lots of unrelated people happen to stand by Ford, when they could have purchased ANYTHING else on the market.
Hey, that's my opinion and commentary on "why Ford F series trucks are the #1 vehicle sold in the world".
So, no I don't think you are "evil", but I do know the capabilities of the truck you were talking about and when it is loaded down and you try telling me that a Honda accord was doing all it could to keep up, I am going to be a bit skeptical.
A. An idiot who doesn't know when to quit.
B. An idiot who knows when to quit but ignores his better judgement.
C. A reasonably smart person who knows when to quit and follows his better judgement.
That kind of behavior you are exibiting is simply stupid.
speaking of stupid-who totally laid out a key asking "which one are you?" go look in a mirror my main man. did your tacoma come with those at least?
Yes, my Tacoma came with mirrors. No, to answer your long-thought assumption, I did not go to a "city tech", "community college".
Complete this sentence, tbunder:
"assumption is a mother of all ..........."
I always thought that GMC Sierra combined with Chevy Silverado beats F series volume
yep that's why they can say they sell more. but if you want to put it that way, taurus/sable sales equal more than camry.
Let's get back to the trucks.
Just a reminder that the Town Hall chat is on tonight (5-7pm Pacific/8-10 pm Eastern). Hope you can join in this week to meet and greet with your fellow Town Hall users and have a little fun with The Return of Car Trivia!

Myself... I just picked up my second F250, 4x4, V10, SC. Got the first one in 99 (now traded in).
I camp a lot, and what do I see pulling campers? By and large (estimate 70%) most people are using the Ford.
A guy I work with was talking about getting a new Ford SD similar to mine. He was at a horse show last weekend and was mostly checking out the trucks. He couldn't believe it, not one Chevy pulling any of the trailers.
These three instances seem to sum it up in my book, you go with what is tried and proven.
