. It's more like the WHINER. You should see all the Loyal GM fans cry on Pickuptruck.com.

I suppose if you're buying the truck based solely on how fast it goes from 0 to 60, or how fast is does this or how fast it does that then the F150 is not the first choice. If you want a TRUCK that is a TRUCK not a car, then you want the F150. It has a decent ride, good handling, good fuel economy. These are what most contractors are looking for. They could care less how fast it goes from 0 to 60. What they want is a capable truck that gets decent fuel economy with a reasonable price tag.
The thing is aspects such as a decent ride is basically decided by the individual. Some may like the ride, some may not. As for fuel mileage, it could be debated how many contractors buy based on fuel mileage compared to power and functionality ( ie, cab room, tailgate steps, comfort ) And the F150 hardly ran away with the mileage test. Handling? Well, I guess if those contractors want to go run a slalom course on their days off......nobody drives a truck to corner on a dime or run a slalom course. ( gee that statement sounds somewhat like the 0-60 times now doesn't it?)
