Relatives laughed at me !!
Hi all
Well, I just got back from a dinner with 20 of my 1st cousins. One of them said that he has a 27' long boat, and I asked him what he used to tow it. He said a Chebby. And when I told him I have a new truck, his reply was "It better not be a Ford, they suck". I said it was an F-350, he was on the ground laughing. He said he has had bad luck with ford's transmissions, and refuses to buy another ford. I told him we have to have a competition, I'll get a chain, and tie it on to your bumper, and we'll see who'll win

This argument gets old. I can't stand people thrashing someone else's vehicle choice. I personally feel that one truck is as good as another - this is 2003, humans have been making these things for a while. I'm pretty sure they're all decent.
I don't think it's right for your cousin to give you a hard time because you didn't buy a Chebby - that's just rude. That's like making fun of a friend because his girlfriend is a redhead, and you like blondes - it's whatever works for YOU. he doesn't own your truck - why is it any concern of his whether or not your truck sucks?
Sounds like a bit of an inferiority complex to me...
If his truck is in fact SO MUCH better than yours, then he should be content in the knowledge that your truck is going to crap out on you, while his won't give him any trouble
.
I would've told him to grow up. If that failed, then I'd poke fun at his ugly, square, hasn't-changed-since-1970 interior that he's got in his truck

Along that same line, my daughter is dating an arrogant Chevy driver. He has a little tiny S-10 4x4. My daughter drives my 86 F-250 4x4. He told her that his truck could out pull her junky Ford and wanted to hook them together with a chain.
I loved what she said....." Honey, you better practice driven backwards!" Cracked me up. And SHUT him up!

I don't have anything against giving somebody a bad time about their choice of vehicle if it isn't Ford, but all in good fun. The way you make it sound he was down right rude. I'd just ask him what kind of troubles he had with Ford and ask him how long he's been driving Chevy's to compare the too. Also, how does he take care of his truck? Just remember to smile politely when you have to go bail him out of the lake because his chevy is "built like a rock" and sinks like one too

Hi all. I just had some nut telling me how great his half ton gas eater chevy pulled, much better than my truck, blah blah blah.
"If I had a chain, we'd see" Well those are the words I like to hear.
I was just standing there with my partner, having a coffee on the way home from a job. I didn't know any of these people. I popped open a door, and came out with a transit grade 25 foot tow chain.
I pointed at my truck and said "500 pounds of torque" then pointed at his truck and said "500 pounds of motor."
"Don't sing it, bring it.!!"
He had nothing at all to say, and had to walk away, then his friends were cracking up on him hard. One of the guys there said "I tried to tell him to junk it before, but he don't listen."

Here's a guy who probably beat the crap out of a Ford tranny one time in his life (towing like a fool is my guess) and had it go on him and now he's all anti-Ford. Tell him my brother's '94 F-350 with 180K wants to come over and show him how wrong he is about both the make and the model.

Chebby people just haven't seen "The Light" yet.Stilling thinking the Z71 is so great.Chebby has so much knock off names and words to cover up basicly the same truck they put out a few years ago I won't even go into it...
We have to show them "The Light" so they can understand why us Ford people never break down..And why the new Chebby fronts are butt ugly
