OK I know from the get go this is opening a can of worms but I still have to ask... Since Ford has so many fleet customers, is this the reason they can claim to be number one in truck sales?
It's all about value=what you get for what you pay. I guess a lot of people think Ford Trucks are a good value. That doesn't necessarily mean they are the "best," but rather they deliver the most things people want for the least money.
For me, the "best" truck is the one that does the job you need done. That could be a Mazda B3000 or a RAM 3500HD DRW Cummins Diesel. OR, it might even be Ford!
