Did I ever say chevy is better than ford? No but I will explain why I like them a bit more than Ford. Ive had two chevys that went over 130000 miles trouble free, one of them i sold which is still trouble free at 160000 and the other I still own. I dont care about which can tow more because all I tow is my 19' Skeeter boat, a camping trailer and my four wheeler and hunting gear.

So what? displacement isnt everything. Gears, modifications and weight all play a huge role in performance.

"heavy"? whats that supposed to mean? If you mean it literally, the F150 weighs about 500 pounds more than a 1500 silverado.

"better" is a pretty general word, but in my eyes the chevy 350 is better. and what does "I was had second thoughts about that" mean? it doesnt really make sense.
