Oh snap! Did you know Chevy builds the longest lasting, most dependable truck in North America?

Lets go back to that "living in a box" theory if you think Ford is the only option out there. As for not being in a Ford, my "loyality" is currently being tested seeing I've had to dump over 3 grand into both my Fords for repairs in the past 3 weeks.

And so did the Tundra, Silverado, Ram, and hell even the Ridgeline at one point.

So what's your point?

After 2008, the F-Series is now the #1 selling for 32yrs running.

And I would not rely on the Motor Trend TotY award. That award is a joke.

Seems like you would rather be in a inferior truck but hey thats your choice.

I will assume you mean proof. Have you ever seen a Chevy Silverado commerical? ( box theory kicking in again ) Chevy tells us this, so if the F150 being the best selling 1/2 ton for 32 years is correct, then what Chevy tells us must be grail also.....correct? ( BTW, General Motors has the best selling 1/2 ton NOT the F150 but they have 2 different models. Same company though.)

Interesting how words can be twisted for advertising isn't it.

You mean the second time I've had to have this headgasket changed on my F150 and the numerous broken bolts in both my 5.4's exhaust manifolds. That isn't stuff going wrong, it's a shoddy product. Search around here, I'm sure I'm not the only one getting stung for a problem Ford chose to ignore.

So then the Camary is a better car than the Fusion? Or any other product that the competition out sells Ford on?

Fords advertising has touched someone evidently.

Nope, just one that won't spit plugs, blow headgaskets, need bolts drilled out of the heads, doesn't have piston slap, won't burn down my house, won't need front sway bar links every 10,000 miles of highway driving....

Hell, how about a company that will stand behind their product.

I think its funny that they said optional V8 on the ford and chevy. I guess they opted for a 4.8 chevy and a 4.6 ford.

Hmmmm. maybe some people shouldn't surf the Ford vs THE COMPETITION forums.

Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. Like the over $1,000 bill to replace the ECM on my PSD.

Optional usually means the bigger engine. "standard" would have been the 4.8 and 4.6, "optional" would refer to the 5.3 and 5.4 respectively. Just as the 4.7 V8 would be Dodges standard whereas the Hemi would be optional

Most people on this website actually like thier Fords! I understand you being mad at spending money on your PSD. But why take a thread where people are conversating about a topic and thrash it? I dont care who likes Fords, Chevies, or Dodges. I'm not going to go to one of their sites and talk crap. It turns good threads into S$#T! Thats it!
