Yahooooooooooooo!!!

Ken you are to be congratulated. This speaks volumes about this site we've come to love (and spend so much time on). Especially so in light of recent sites being forced by Ford to change names.

lol this might be a little prying but do they pay well? Also, did they says they'd read the message boards to get ideas from real (knowledgeable) Ford truck consumers, not just randomely picked people?

I'm not at liberty to discuss that.

I can't vouch one way or another for the actions of any Ford division. I can say, however, that our logs show many people from Ford frequent the site.

Iappreciate Ford's support of this site. Their "My F-Series" web site never did much for me.

i might be alone in thinking this, but my initial reaction to this subject was suspicion. Consumers Union does not accept any advertising to reassure readers of unbiased reporting. in the case of this website, it could be beneficial to let ford get their fingers in the pie, as long as they don't try to influence the content as we have come to know and appreciate it. we don't like to hear peoples experiences relating to ford's blunders and the dealerships that don't stand behind their products. but as a proud ford truck owner i want to stay informed. it is this honesty, sharing the good and the bad, that makes this site great, and i hope that doesn't change.

So you could tell but then you would have to kill us heh?
I guess that would cut down on visitors though.
