So whats the point in 1/2 ton trucks? They can't haul much, are they the grocery getters of the truck world?

I think half ton trucks are great. But I still think the eco boost is way overrated and will cause auto wreckers to start stock piling all these trucks with blown motors and turbos that no one can afford to fix out of warranty.
There have been over 600,000 Ecoboost F150's sold since they first came out in 2011. I have read about owners that work in the oil fields towing and working these trucks with 200,000+ miles on them. And you think they are way overrated? Yeh ok...
It's not 1995 anymore and the Ecoboost is the way of the future so you better get use to it...
Hey dummy I have a inline 5 motor. Trust it more than any ford pos.
Why you may ask I worked at a ford dealership and seen back in the day what piles of junk anything with a ford sticker is.
Glad you can read all the sunshine post on your ford eco junk.
Type in ford eco boost issues you will find lots. Ohhhhhh wait whats that ford has a lawsuit filed due to eco boost motors stalling under hard acceleration. And they still have yet to figure out a fix.
When I worked in the logging camps they had f150 trucks and gm 1500 trucks. My daily job was to fix body mounts and rad mounts on the hard working ford truck because they were pounded through the metal of the body. Then I got to fix there ****ty front locking hubs. And then when we weren't busy doing that we were installing new piston rings into a 5.0 motor with less than 50 thousand km on them. Yup they are great.
The 1500 gm got a oil change done and general service work done to it.
And guess what at the end of 5 years of being in the bush all the fords were sent to the scraper that was 10 trucks. Out of the gm trucks 6 were left at the camp and still used for another 4 years before being retired.
So it's good to see all the band wagon jumpers run to buy a ford eco boost. Let's see where your truck is in 10 years please stay in touch with us all.
The F150 is one of the best selling trucks on the road for a reason.
Don't let reality slap you in the face to hard. :B
You old farts are funny. I worked at both a gm and ford dealer and a private shope that did work for logging camps. Yes it was in 1990 that I was there and yes they were auto locking hubs which were the issue. We removed them and replaced them with manual locking hubs as I stated ford junk.
At the gm dealer biggest issues then was the diesel trucks. And the Cadillac division with electrical issues. But nothing that would stop me with owing a gm product.
My folks have always owed ford product and out of all of them my moms 92 ford explorer was the only one that held up very well. But as far as all 5 of my dad's trucks they were******that fell apart. Even my moms 2006 ford explorer with 50 thousand km on it spent most of its time in the dealership getting worked on. And my dad has a new 2010 f150 and the truck looks nice and rides good on the hwy it is a piece of junk soon as we take it on a gravel road to get to our cabin full of rattles and shakes and he has also had issues with it and rust issues already starting to show up.
And due to your dum ass remarks at the logging camps both the F150 and gm 1500 were all about the same km and used almost every day to transport people and there gear up to the sites. So really wish I could say one was used over the other.
Ford is a big seller because they are always discounting there ****ty trucks so people think they are getting some great deal.
And people always get defensive like all you ford owner when you know you just got ripped off on garbage.
Please let us all know in 10 years or longer if you still have the truck and how long the repair bill is. I would like to know.
P.S.- To bad your not working in a Chevy dealership now dealing with the hundreds of thousands of recalled trucks. :S
Every auto maker has a few lemons....
Well I have hit puberty. Please let me know when you take off your rose peadle glasses and grow a set of ball dummy.
And hard to have a intelligent conversation with a bone head that has his head so far up his ass he can't take some ribbing about your pos truck. Which you must know this is why you are so pissy.
I wish I was working at at gm dealer now. Because at least gm has the balls to admit they have a issue and they are willing to fix the issue. And at least they admit they had bone heads working in the past and are now cleaning up there mess.
Not like ford brain washing people into buying garbage then waiting to have a class action law suite filled on them to get a problem fixed. And still having no idea how to fix a known issue because they build crap.
So wake up smell the Coffey and thank you for supporting a company that continues to build just for people that like shiny objects that are junk.
And ford is the biggest lemon out there and always always will be. :p- "Mine's bigger, no mine's bigger, no mine's bigger, no mine's bigger, ad infinitum. I thought people got this out of their system when they graduated from high school.

Glad you are using modern day common sense. I am sure you can find someone who worked at a Toyota dealership when they were junk. Heck, if you go back far enough you can find someone who worked at a GM dealership when they were quality. What is your point?
Comparing 20+ year old experience to modern day technology is almost the exact definition of stupidity.
20 years ago Samsung didn't make televisions. Now they are the leader in HDTV technology. Based upon your thinking, Samsung wasn't around/good 20 years ago, they can't be good now... right?
Don't be a ding dong...
Or the fact you worked for a specific brand dealer and wait for it...that is the brand that comes to the service department.
I heard a toyota tech say the same thing about...wait for it....Toyota's.- It has to do with the consolidation of the front axle/hub assembly
No longer does the OEMs make their own and outsourced to become an assembly
So reduced cost is the main goal, IMHO
Since all one assembly, they removed the half axle to hub gear that was the
component 4x4 'hubs' employed to engage/disengage.
The half shaft is now constantly driven by the tires/pavement movement and the
dis-engagement is managed inside the front diff pumpkin Sport45 wrote:

I guess that Ford 1T I was looking at just yesterday with the manual lockout hub must have been 20 years old. NOT. It was a very late model(2009 or newer), so I guess NOT all Ford 4x4 systems are electric shift on the fly.
they have not had locking hubs for over 20 years...they are all electrically activated now.
I bet it was an '04 or earlier. You can't even buy manual locking hubs for '05 and later Fords. At least not that I've seen. For the F-150 you may not be able to find a manual locking hub after 1996.
Warn Hub Application Chart
Not 20 years since they were used, but a long time anyway.
Yep, I was talking specifically about the F150. I didn't know exactly when they stopped using manually locking hubs but I knew it was close to 20 years. I know my 97 F150 could not be ordered with manual hubs.spoon059 wrote:
