Please. Sure the Eco HD is great, but my F250 is not like it. I have 2976 lbs of payload, a 10,000 lb GVWR, 22,000 GCWR, bigger, full floating axle, bigger brakes, bigger cab, better engine braking going down hill, etc, etc, etc. also, the only difference between mine and an F350 is the spacer block over the rear axle, the badge on the fender, and the yellow sticker that allows it to legally load/tow more. So if the OP has a good deal on an F250, I say jump on it. I love mine!

Oh yeah, one more thing. Try finding an F150HD on a dealers lot. Scarcer than hens teeth. You want one you gotta order it. F250's however, can be found easily.

I agree it seems these threads usually devolve into a bunch of meaningless comments. Reminds me of when I was about 10 or 11 years old. My cousin thought Ford tractors were best. I though John Deere was better. :)

You are BOTH wrong... KUBOTA ORANGE!!!

And we all know Massey Ferguson was better

My Lord can yall take all the political banter and garbage somewhere else so that those of us who have a vested interest in this topic don't have to wade through all this crap!!!!!!!

They need the jobs in Mexico more, hence the reason the labor rate is less.....those folks are poor as dirt down there.

Gotta say, Sergio grew up in Canada since he was 14. Went to school up here in Ontario, got his law and accounting degrees here.

Typical immigrant, worked hard, and made good in Canada.

Then parlayed his international savvy and dual citizenship back into some European company positions and eventually ended up at Fiat. And by all accounts done well there. Even the Canadian and American Autoworker's Union appreciate what he's done for Chrysler.

No, he wasn't born in America, and Fiat is not an American brand. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy a RAM because of Sergio Marchionne.

I'm not claiming that he's a great Canadian, although Bob King has praised him for working with the UAW during the bankruptcy, and I believe CAW (Unifor) has as well. And RAM certainly seems to be doing well during his tenure and that means their employees are too. But after all, he's the head of a large international corporation where $$$ are all that count. Just because he was born in Italy, makes no difference. An American or Canadian in the same postion would probably behave the same.

And we both know why all manufacturers make parts, engines or autos in Mexico: cheap labour. If they didn't, and the others did, they would be out of business because you and I and the general public would not or could not pay their higher prices. (Not sure what "drug lord infested third world country" has to do with it ...)

As it is, Fiat/Chrysler is still investing in Canada and the US. Sterling Heights and Windsor plants are two that I'm aware of.

Hopefully now with the Canada's "oil inflated" dollar declining with respect to the US dollar, they will consider even more investment up here. A low Canadian dollar, because of declining oil prices, will help Ontario Manufacturing, even if it hurts Alberta.
