I guess that is what you get when you give a heavy truck for someone to review, but they wanted to review a car.

It's big.

It rides rough.

It's heavy.

Fuel mileage sucks.

You make a lot of 3 point turns.

Derek should like the Government Motors HDs, since they ride like big cars.

Yawnnnnnnn.... Okay, that was ten minutes I'll never get back.....

Maybe I should go and review women's purses and compare them to wallets!

Some people just don't deserve to be published and I just now read one...

They put a Prius in the bed to trick him.

How would the author know if it was the Truckiest Truck That Ever Did Truck? It is obvious that he had never driven a truck before.


Some people should be forced to take public transportation.....

I don't think you'll get any argument from those of us here on FTE!

Lol, I drove a friends 6.7 and despite the solid axle and the weight it rode lightyears better than my 04 f150. This guy apparently has never driven a truck.

I guess I need to be taken out behind the barn and whipped for having these bad thoughts, so now I need to re-think, I can't Justify spending 9k plus for a Diesel engine. Was looking at Ram Trucks. I like them but I still like my Ford I have never bought anything but Ford Truck's and Car's.
Now reading this review I am doing flip flops. I like the looks and the colors of the Super Duty Sieres a lot more than the Ram.

I think Ed accomplished his objective by getting people involved with a thread but his choice of journalists for a superduty test kinda backfired.

People who own trucks already know that they are not fuel efficient and bulky. The writer should take some time to truly evaluate the truck, learn about it and inform us on what it is capable of.

This is probably the worst article to use as a deciding factor about what truck to get.

W6PEA de N1IV - Don't do it... stay Ford! You'll regret moving to the Dark Side... the ONLY thing they have is the Cummins! The trucks have way too many issues... STAY FORD!
