So whats the point in 1/2 ton trucks? They can't haul much, are they the grocery getters of the truck world?

I think half ton trucks are great. But I still think the eco boost is way overrated and will cause auto wreckers to start stock piling all these trucks with blown motors and turbos that no one can afford to fix out of warranty.
There have been over 600,000 Ecoboost F150's sold since they first came out in 2011. I have read about owners that work in the oil fields towing and working these trucks with 200,000+ miles on them. And you think they are way overrated? Yeh ok...
It's not 1995 anymore and the Ecoboost is the way of the future so you better get use to it...
Hey dummy I have a inline 5 motor. Trust it more than any ford pos.
Why you may ask I worked at a ford dealership and seen back in the day what piles of junk anything with a ford sticker is.
Glad you can read all the sunshine post on your ford eco junk.
Type in ford eco boost issues you will find lots. Ohhhhhh wait whats that ford has a lawsuit filed due to eco boost motors stalling under hard acceleration. And they still have yet to figure out a fix.
When I worked in the logging camps they had f150 trucks and gm 1500 trucks. My daily job was to fix body mounts and rad mounts on the hard working ford truck because they were pounded through the metal of the body. Then I got to fix there ****ty front locking hubs. And then when we weren't busy doing that we were installing new piston rings into a 5.0 motor with less than 50 thousand km on them. Yup they are great.
The 1500 gm got a oil change done and general service work done to it.
And guess what at the end of 5 years of being in the bush all the fords were sent to the scraper that was 10 trucks. Out of the gm trucks 6 were left at the camp and still used for another 4 years before being retired.
So it's good to see all the band wagon jumpers run to buy a ford eco boost. Let's see where your truck is in 10 years please stay in touch with us all.
Haters will hate. How long ago was that 10, 20 years ago??? Cause you are obviously talking the old pushrod 5.0 engine and they have not had locking hubs for over 20 years...they are all electrically activated now. All '70 and '80s half ton trucks were pretty weak also. You can live in the past all you want. We are talking about modern new vehicles here now...
PS...the GMs probably all sat in the parking lot while everybody used the Fords
