" i bought it to pull a 5x10 trailer so me and my son could go ride atv's, he fell on this jump and fractured his wrist so the wife made me sell the atvs. so she took is as a daily driver soccer mom stuff, so she was talking on the cell phone and a tractor trailer stopped at a red light she wasnt paying attention slammed on the brakes and re endd it." now im laughing to myself because this is the reason ford stopped making this truck because certain people have no business owning one. so he said now she wont drive it because of some internet **** about how ex are bad at stopping and whatever she loked up and she says i have to sell it or else. so i asked what she wants, a f.cking chevy sub!!! what the f is with this lady. so he said it needs a hood, new front fenders, bumper grill headlights turnsignals. all in all i had to vent to someone who knows where im coming from about this kind of crap.

The real sad thing is that these type of people outnumber the ones that I would consider to be more sensible(if people can be such). Brave new world out there, or at least it better be, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to handle it. Excuse me while I call the mrs and tell her why I'm glad that she isn't like that, otherwise my life would be a living hell.

My wife doesn't like drivin my rig cause "its too big "for her to go in and out of traffic . she prefers the mid size .i say good , less fuel being wasted.

My wife wanted an EX so we bought her one in 2003. I thought she would hate it since she really didn't like driving my F250 CC. She absolutely loves this rig! She calls it her "car" and i have had opportunities to get a smaller vehicle for her but she says she will not own anything else. It is still in excellent shape and she would kill anyone who put a scratch on it! I love my wife! Funny though, she still doesnot like driving my truck, go figure.

coming from a chick..............:-banghead That is the most absurd reason to have to get rid of the ex!!!!!! I love driving my big truck. DUH it takes a lot to stop a big vehicle....what an idiot! maybe he outta buy her a sonata or some little suburbian housewife crossover cuz she won't be able to handle the POS burban that she'll get either........but it'll prolly break before she has a chance to wreck it!

I HATE these soccer moms that think they are the cool in their big suv. then one of them makes the rest of us look bad because she can't drive & chew bubblegum at the same time!!!!

grrrrrrrrrrr......that dude needs to digs his nutters out of her purse & have them put back on!

should have traded in the wife and he would still have two wheelers and a non-wrecked Excursion

If you're not going to pay attention, maybe the vehicle is not where the blame lies...

My wife doesn't drive mine either because she thinks it's too much work. No skin off my nose, I never have to re-adjust the seat and mirrors :-X10 (she's 5'6" and I'm 6'2")!

how do people not realize the bigger the vehicle the longer it takes to stop. its so simple. i love the excursion drove 1 for a year mom has 1 now. both 7.3 powerstroke towed amazing and carried ton of people and stuff comfortably. But little nicer brakes could have been nice still stopped a 10k lb trailer no problem just had to give it the space it needed

My soon to be wife dosent like driving my truck... She feels safer in her convertible mustang... It is a nice car. I bought some life insurance for her.. I will say $350 a month payment keeps he out of my truck... Money well spent

Wow. I don't know what's worse. The fact that that's the way his wife treats him...and he takes it. Or, the fact that he's willing to tell another man about it. His whole circle of friends are probably a bunch of p***y whipped turds.

i think the nutless wonder needs a blanket party.

Excellent point. Maybe the OP should have just punched him in the face and told him to MAN UP! :-X14

this is why I don't let the wife near my truck! she can drive her little SUV!

SuperDutyScaler 04-20-2010 09:09 AM

i aactually see the truck allot around my town, so if i really wanted to buy it i could just flag him down one day but i got my SD so i dont need it. its just sad to see **** like this and a fellow man getting the pimp hand from his pig headed wife
