I think he meant watch "the truth about trucks" which is a ford "political" of sorts spin on why they are the best. you will notice when you watch it they compare to mostly GM...tundra very little and no dodge. For example they look at frame flex and the fords stiffer frame. they sorta make fun of the c frame compared to fully boxed F150. first of all...with no flex how is your off roading little lone rock crawling gonna be? how is your ride gonna be? and isnt the F250 and 350 c frame like the tundra? yes it is....but they dont mention that. also they mention all the squeeks and rattles due to tundra 4 body mounts vs fords 6 body mounts. thats funny too...how can we have all these noises from the body when it is a unibody and only requires 4 mounts. Funny ford didnt touch on engine or powertrain when comparing to tundra?! I think we know why ; )

Yes I understand but I told him that they went by what's standard. The 4.6 is standard on the F-150 while the 5.7 is standard for the Tundra. This is what they are selling. When I had my 03 Ford F-150 and Crown Vic both were the same 4.6. I do agree with you.

Maybe one that makes a commercial truck. Just a idea, also dont forget about thinking about talking to a girl. Thay dont have cooties, Buy a real truck and get a life. Oh yhea in 2007 the drive shaft where falling out of them its a national recall check it out, how about the cam shafts. Thats a great truck, keep up the great work.
Just gotta say I could never imagine wasting my time to go to another manufacturers posting site to bash them. Get a life you say? Right back at ya. Btw Toyota has been making trucks since WWII. Also you comment on picking one that makes commercial trucks? How about HINO? Guess when they started? 1942. Stick to the ford, I've been there myself and it'll take a long long time for me to even consider going back. My dads 79 f250 and my 91 f150 were 2 of the worst vehicles I have ever driven in my entire life. Good day.

Since I retired in 03. August 03. I'm an AST Lead Supervisor. I also do Loss prevention. My knowledge of 16 different ATM's keep me gainfully employed. As far as earl1 I do this job to pay for my ride and my 2006 18.5 Bayliner with a Mercruiser 3.0 I/O. The only thing I deal with is this little 4 cylinder motor is a chevy. Once truck is paid off then it's time to fully retire.

Easily found on the internet. No it's not all I talk about. Look through the whole forum except 4x4's forum I won't go in there because I'm not a 4x4 person. You'll see I'm in the whole forum. I don't take likely somone telling me they provide the freedom of speech for me.

US Navy enlisted. I worked in Combat (CIC) We operated radars communications controlled A/C for intercepts and surface surveillance, and Navigation. I also had NEC's for the programming and launching of Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles.

So they can see themselves going. hahaha. I always thought when they did Personal Inspections and you find the person needs a haircut etc. the name on the back gives them all they need. More than likely it something else. Personally it helps to tell the berthing crew to distribute out the laundry when it comes in.

Just so you know that the Tundra in the clip is a 4.7L not a 5.7L. Can't you tell the difference?? Take a look at the side of the truck!! And it has no limited slip. For talking alot you really don't know your stuff. Try doing some research before you make yourself look bad, ok
