Re: Do you like ford

My dad has had his 93 ford truck since 1993, and he still drives it today on the original motor and transmission. This while hauling loads of hay and corn over the years. Would I buy a ford, generally no for personal choice but I wouldn't call them crap either. Again, reflections on what's happened with vechicals of those you know.

Re: Do you like ford

Fords have the most high mileage trucks on the roads today.

I have had no problems with the 00 Powerstroke. In a pickup I'd only go diesel, 7.3 powerstroke "If it dont blow black, Take it BACK". Now both my whips have turbo's the best of both worlds.

Re: Do you like ford

I like most of the the Fords I have owned. Their not the highest quality vehicles, but they are just as good if not better than mitsu's.

Re: Do you like ford

I guess if you call my car a Ford... I really enjoy my car.

As for the rest of the Ford lineup, I dont care for them. But, I work with their lineup of vehicles everyday and I must say they have improved greatly over the past 5-10 years. I used to hate everything about Ford, now I actually like their trucks.

Re: Do you like ford

The '05 and up trucks are pretty nice. You can see a lot of the Land Rover touch in interior design and ergonomics, a big improvement over '04's. Plus the built in trailer controllers on the F350's rock.

Except the fucking stupid ass tires ford decides to put on fleet vehicles, they are probably the best line-up of fleet vehicles..ALOT less problems than the other two big domestic line-ups.

Re: Do you like ford

Since Chevy dissed CAT, I really hope Ford pick's up the Cat motor in their diesels. As for the Cummings motors I think the older ones are garbage, but in the last 2 years they have made a grip load of improvements.

Ford had the pick between the Cummins and the Power Stroke. Do you really think they would pick the shitty motor?

This could be a debate that goes on forever.. But everyone that i've talked to that knows a lot about the truck industry or works for ford, talks crap about them all day.

Cat has no intention of getting into the light truck market, furthermore the old Cummins engines blow the new ones out of the water as far as durability is concerned

I was going to post up a few like that, but I did not have that many bad names to call a ford, lol.

Mitsu could take a few of the names from ford.
