WOW,,, i love it when Ford people try and defend themselfs (it's all good)
"Do you know what a HEMI is?"
*John, Hemi is one B-A-D Mopar (have a dart with 383 hemi, thing ZOOMS)
"i can understand that if pops says that his Ram is his best truck ever"
*He never said that,, and it can't be proven, arent going to fight over trucks.
but dodge not only looks better,, you can hear that magnum V8 roaring down the street , and i am not kidding guys., i hear fords all the time,, sounds like a car,, and a when it starts up it sounds like a ,, well, i don't what
"Now Dodge's new 4.7 MagnumForceFeedbackCaddilacGive-A-Dog-a-Bone motor is probably all nice"
*lol john ,, but it's more like , 5.7 ltr Hemi (zoom)!
"that means only 25% of them will crap out on ya..."
c'mon, where is that going
25% is good for the 40% of fords (just a close estimate
"So not trying to crunch stones on ya but I think there are a few people slightly more automotively inclined than you"
*More then my Uncle to ?
Hmmm, i dunno about that one... (jk)
"I'm still a fan of the Yota for a 'lil truck"
*It's a hell of a lil' truck,, go for it.... i like the older t-100s , a simple design but does the trick..
Bloo, Correction
"I've also heard that the Dodge's engines tend to Slip ...."
Older Model (94/96) TRANNYS sliped after a while, dodge noticed and fixed the problem,, old news,, hit me with something current,, oh,, lemme talk about fords now,, anyone say "Explosion?" (pinto-lol) pretty old also, huh?
Jenn,
Don't get me wrong,. i am not saying the 'yota' is a bad truck, and just like ya said to each his own ,,, and i bet the toyota does move in the sand ,, may i ask ya a question ? Ever see a Ram 1500 5.9 V8 Magnum pinned at 130 on the Newport Bridge ? (we where in a hurry to go no-where, day we bought the ram)
It does pretty well in sand and snow as well,, we took the truck to the dunes near my house ,, there is a new K-mart there now tho,, anywayz that's the soft sand,, put in 4whl High and it was pretty fun,,, Dodge rams have some nice performance to them! Toyotas may also,, but i like a nice tough American Truck!
Ford Guys,, we can fight over trucks,, heck it gets us where we wanna go,, (dodge ram gets ya there a bit faster & in style) but still "who-cares"
we pulled a NEWER ford F-250 powerstroke DIESEL in 4whl LOW with our Ram 1500 5.9 ,that's right, we pulled it in 4high , didn't even need 4 low,,, fords back tires spun, it looked bad at first but we won,, put a chevy up there ,, now that's a challenge, but not close
and i don't hate chevy/gmc like i hate ford, cause we used to have a 93 Chevy S-10 V6 2wd and we pulled out my dads friends 22' walkaround,, so chevy has the power as well, but dodge ram is just,, can't explain it,,
and fords are Cheap Quality, i been in the new fords, and the old fords they are too low to the ground,,they ride like S^#%,,and slip all over the place in the rain and snow,, and THEY CANNOT PERFORM VERY WELL IN SOFT SAND! i seen that first hand
i could go on and on with the fords i've seen get saved by rams and chevys, but you all don't need or want to hear that
,, only ford truck i would ever concider buying, if i had to own a ford,, would be a F-150 Lightning, cause them trucks have some serious B@LLs ,, but i am a Mopar Man, always!
It's all Fun, No hard feelings (Ford Guys)
Have a good one!
