Just received the latest Trailer Life magazine. They have the results of the yearly readers choice awards. The #1 choice for tow vehicles is.... wait for it... Ford!!! Chevrolet is #2, and Dodge is #3. I don't get it. Every time I see a post on here about ford trucks lots of posters will jump in to flame ford trucks as junk. So what gives????. You'll notice in my profile I drive a Ford truck but I'm not really a ford guy, always have driven a GM product, so haven't been drinking the blue koolaid. So, go ahead and flame me, I'm a firefighter and have the protective equipment to protect myself!!! LOL. (just couldn't help myself) Cheers John.
The deal is not the truck but the engines. Ford makes a great truck and I've seen nobody bash their truck on here. Some say one of the best if not the best and I agree. Ford makes super good gas engines. Great power, dependable, and last a long time.
The problem is the last time they made a great dependable diesel was in 2003 with their 7.3.
In fact we have a member here right now with a ruined vacation be of his Ford diesel. That is the problem, not the truck.
