Fords Falling behind.............

Picked up truck trend today, seen the spy photos of the ne Chebby. Looks even bigger than the dodge mega cab. its offered in the dually LONG bed too. I also saw the new dodge motor that I hae been hearing about now for a eon. Where is the new TOTALLY edesigned Ford? I like botht the chevy and the new dodge, but I dont like them well enough to trade off either one of my trucks. After all, MINE ARE PAID FOR!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt Chrysler has solved the problem they have always been known for. I dont care if it looks great and has "The Best Motor In The World" if the wrapper falls apart in 4 or 5 years who wants to spend $50K on it.

Chebbie = Chebbie = GM = Not in my garage

I 2nd that, besides, they stopped making real trucks after 97... (with the exception of a few superduty's here and there )

EDIT: Well.... let's include all 7.3's....

I guess you haven't seen the spy shots of the 07 Superduty. All new, and it will................take some getting used to.

Whew!!! for a second there I thought my truck was fake. It certainly feels real with twin plumes of black smoke rolling out the pipes at 120 mph and accelerating.

haha i put that exception in there for you Scott! ur truck is b*tchin man! could smoke my truck without braking a sweat... i should have continued that to say (all with 7.3er under the hood) not a huge fan of the 6.slow.... We have one as a shop truck at work and there... well let's just say not a fan so i don't get someones undies in a bundle...

Thanks dude!!! This motor is really starting to wake up now that's getting broken in some.

I'm not a huge fan of the 6.0 either...but there are some really, really strong ones out there. It will be interesting to see how the twin turbo (compound) 6.4 will be in the new trucks.
