The Truth about Trucks !!

To all our friends at "Ford Truck Enthusiasts". Here at "Blackstock Ford" we have the newest DVD on the "Truth about Trucks" which puts the FORD F150 & Super Duty against chevy and toyota (dodge cant even make the cut pfft). From road tests to the actually build of the vehicles it is awesome to watch and trust me some of the info will stun you!

Please once again send me a PM with your address and I'll get em out to ya

Is that the one that I saw at my local dealership awhile back? It might have been an older one but it was comparing all the parts witht he other out there showing how much stronger the F-150 was other the other "professional engineering" brands? It was pretty cool to watch while waiting on service

There is a new one out? And it includes the SuperDuty? Cool! Send it out. Do you still have my address or do you want it resent?

I received my dvd in the mail on Friday and shortly thereafter it was in the dvd player for me to watch. I certainly was amazed by what I saw and it makes me wonder why anyone would buy anything but a Ford.

While watching the suspension and steering segments it got me wondering if maybe it was really necessary to design the components to be the much bigger or lighter? To my untrained eye it looked like things might be a tad bit overengineered.

The Ditch Dip Test was interesting but I'm also curious if a bit of flex might help the ride/comfort some?

Thanks again for the video. I just wish I had the $'s to go out and buy me a new Ford truck.

Not to worry Sherm. As long as you sent me a PM with mailing address you will get one. I am sending them out in waves once a week.

Boy, the media monkeys sure were busy with this one. I find the guy's last comments at the end of each segment absolutely hilarious. In the F150 segment where they drive all 3 trucks down the bumpy road it was incredible to see how floppy the Toyota box was! My 79 would probably be the same way on that road. My DVD player had a hard time with the disc, it played a bunch of random segments before the index screen came up.
