Would have really been a buzz-kill if I had noticed it!!

 

Hey! my 91 Jeep wrangler has a fully boxed frame. Does that mean if I take the soft top off and install a 5th wheel where the back seat is, that I can tow 5 tons like a new F-150

Even so I'll never be able to tow as much as those 98 4.2's man those things are real powerhouses

 

'93 Rangers well toe more then that crep heck yur brian ded if you thnk for 1 minite jeeps have any thing on ford trucks because there the bst that you can get and jeeps are just japanes e wanna be fords just today i had to pull a full bus of peeple out of a ravine and my danger ranger did it it in 4th gear lets see you're crap jeep do that

 

Was that the time the bus was full of pro football cheerleaders or the bus load of blind nuns?

 

it's canuckastan............no "pro" anything up here

 

I love my 1998 Ford F-150 with the 4.2L is got all I need ive out 40,000 kms on it now and it purrs like a kitten.

 

Huh?

Mike

 

What happened to the nice rumble it had? I say stick with the rumble and get rid of the small feline.

 

Mt 1998 F-150 is a beast. ive put 40,000 kms on its now its up to 221,700kms its gonna get me to work today and next 5 years. its got a rumble, for a V6 its got a rumble. sounds better than some Chevy V8s, Hemis, I wonder what the new Tundra gonan sound like, Im gonna test drive one of um like really actully thik about thsi truck look it over see if its just a Toyota or actully a good truck.

 

Don't get me wrong..I think you should test drive one, and I will value your opinion, as you are one of the more steadfast Ford owners here on FTE.

Looking forward to hearing about what you think.

 

Our 2001 Tundra sounds pretty good, like a proper V8 should. For some reason, they quieted down the later ones so they don't sound anywhere as appealing. I hope the 2007's have a bit more growl like the early ones.

 

I compared a friend of mine's Tundra screw with mine and there is no comparison. My F150 is much roomier on the inside and it looks a lot better. My friend's truck looked ok on the outside but cheap on the inside.

 

Oh I am gonan Test Drive this new Tundra, wehn I see one Im turning in I seen a 08 Super Duty I didint ask for a test drive tho its to much truck for me I know that so ill stay away its was a Ford F-350 in black, CC, FX4, HERE IN CANADA, $65,000

 

Everyone was talking how the new Titan was going to clean house. Well, it has a real HO V-8. And what? Plastic door panels that are a little nicer than my 94 XL? Some rails in the bed which would be covered up/bent in their aluminum extruded mess? Hmmmm... I didn't buy that and apparently not as many ppl elsewhere did either. Tundra sales have actually been down, just like everybody else this past year. They, Toyota had to break out the big rebates also. And quality and reliablity have been the harbingers of the Asian brands quest for customers. What happened to that? Honda, Toyota, Nissan have all had recalls and safety notices is quantity and type of the American Big 3 this past year.


No, Ford has to watch out alright. King of the Hill. Everone gunning for your spot. Everyone wants to be that lucky. But they have to do better than what I'm seeing. Heck, even the Explorer is the number 1 selling SUV still! I wonder why, could it be that Ford knows how to build and sell a quality truck? Yeah, I know the 6.0 has been a nightmare. It was supposed to be an improvement over the 7.3. But it wasn't because they booboo'd. They were promised one thing by International and sold another. Maybe that's why the are moving to build their own diesel inhouse in the future?

 

Just seen the new Tundra commercial a guy says something like, a guy has a mind of a load on his truck, hes doesint mind hauling it, its a 20' trailer with hay on it and the guys sitting on it. lame any truck can haul/or tow a load of hay.
