And then Ford magically made theirs an "advertised" 400/800. It didn't matter that GM whipped Ford in virtually all of the tests after that... Ford had a higher number, and a lot of people "believed" the marketing hype. The sales numbers showed it. After that experience, there was no way GM was going to make the same mistake again... Though this time it would have been the 1/2 tons taking the majority of the hit.Hondavalk wrote:
Tundra went J2807 compliant in 2011. Just say-in :B
Yes they did, they were the first and good for them! It's a shame the others had to play games, but with that said both Ram and GM/Chevy were going to do it until Ford said nope not ready yet. Had the other two went ahead they could have put that fact in their ads and most likely taken sales from Ford. But should'a, would'a, could'a but didn't and for that same on ALL of them!
