This Guy Loves His Ford!

He's on his 3rd one. I don't want to start a war or anything here. I just thought it was funny that everything but the 2nd sentence sounds like a brochure. 2nd sentence sounds like real life.

"You gonna luv it! I've had three and Ford bought back my first one and my second one had a new tranny at 34K. Current one is 2005 and I luv the new front suspension and engine/tranny combo. Superduty is the toughest, haulingest, bestest real truck around. They are pushed to the limit every day by a whole lot of people. Just look around some time at what truck pulls those 18K+ fifth wheel RVs, cattle haulers, car haulers, etc. Ain't a lot of Chevy or Dodges doing it cause they can't or break when they try.

Ford has worked hard to produce a truck that will deliver what they promise. The new diesel/tranny meets the tough emmision standards and produces torque and horsepower adequate for the job. Push it to the limit every day and problems may pop up. Add on performance enhancers like tuners and push it to places where Ford says it should not go and you will have problems. These are the guys you hear form most often. But God bless 'em cause they are pushing Ford to find and fix fix the weak links and up the torque and horsepower ratings for the engine.

Super Duty is King of the Road!! Kings are targets."
