Talking Road trip observations...

Just a note about an observation I made while on a recent 1500+ mile road trip. Since I bought my TT I always tend to check out other TTs and 5ers on the road. With confidence and near-zero bias, I noticed that at least 80% of the TVs out there were Fords. Most were between '00 and '04s, a few '05 and '06s and a couple late '80s and mid '90s. There were about 15% Dodge and the remainder were Chevy/GMC. No joke!

I was already confident in my purchase, but my findings just solidified it. Oh, and in 100+ temps, my Ford devoured the "grapevine" both going up and going down.

Mike

Very true....
I have been RVing for 10+ years and have found the
same to be true....virtually all the tow rigs out my way are FXXX SD's or OBS HD's..
Sure, you are going to have the GM/Dodge loyalists...But for the most part...all Fords...I love mine..
