What Ford really needs is a modern chassis. That ancient c-channel worked great back in 1999, when Dodge and Chevy was also relatively primitive in terms of chassis refinement and ride and handling.
Fast forward 15 years, Ram and Chevy are riding on state of the art, highly rigid fully boxed frames. In this day and age where performance is splitting hairs, it's the subtle things like the "feel" of a truck that impresses auto journalists.
Totally agree. But why should Ford do anything but keep applying Band-Aids and upping the ratings since their loyal crowd still loves the taste of the BLUE OVAL.
Although look on the Mobile Suites Forum where when I joined in fall of 2011 at that time all you saw was F450's. Times are a changing at least for the people that really use their TV's. GM and RAM are taking over dramatically.
