You just contradicted your main argument for the Fords. Just because more Fords have been sold does NOT mean it's a better truck. Ford has outsold all others because they advertise well, cut good deals on them, and people are ******* stupid so they just want what's most popular. That being said, I like all of the new Ford trucks but up until a few years ago, they were all piles of ****. My company has had F-350's, 250's, and 150's for over a decade now and they were absolute garbage up until a few years ago. Our 06 F-350's had a combined repair cost of close to $65k. That's with only 4 trucks and only up to 100k miles each... garbage.

ford has almost never outsold gm trucks. just the last year or two and barely at that. gm will pull back ahead like usual with the new series.

all i have to say is first and foremost have fun with the column "shifter" on any ford, regardless the year. and to piggy back on the camry comment, they were so popular because of the advertising and consumer reports rate everything made outside of the US as awesome. the advertisements and false claims get you the popularity. and then all of the sudden they are having sticky foot pedals? yeah VERY quality cars right there.

Ding ding ding. Apparently sales and advertising dictates how awesome a car is.

You're a MORON. You've convinced yourself that if you claim it happened enough, others will believe it did... It DIDN'T!
Then I told you that Ford has offered a STANDARD 100,000 mile warranty on their powerstroke for OVER A DECADE already and you SHUT THE **** UP about that because you know GM didn't, until recently. You wouldn't want to note TRUTH unless it supports your ideals because you're a blind hateful son of a bitch who can't stand things he can't UNDERstand, which is most things...
The point I was making, though I'm afraid you'll never be capable of truly comprehending, is that the length of time and distance for a vehicle warranty are A PLOY to get you to purchase said vehicle. The manufacturer KNOWS the average life span of their product and WILL NOT warranty that product for a length of time notably beyond that life span... Otherwise, they'll go broke! DUMB ***!
As I said, if you had a decent clue, you'd STILL be lost! You're a moron...
haha because consumer buying trends means anything, all you do show someone something shiny on tv and they all go buy it.
a lot of people bought enron stocks and we all know how that worked out for them.
a lot of people buy mcdonalds and we know how that is for you, to sum up just because its the most bought product doesnt mean its the best

Btw, it's not buying trends anyway... I'd say 36 years of leading is no longer a trend... It's more like a way of life. People don't go buy a new truck because they saw a shiny commercial. They buy one because their dad, employer, brother, cousin and or other friend or relative did and they liked it. Or they buy one to be different, even if only in their own mind.

Good lord... I don't have time to pick that post apart but you need to pick your arguing point, and stick to it. You're just going back and forth over random bullshit and you expect people to think you know what the hell you're talking about because you've been here 10 years and you capitalize some words. There are few people who throw out that many lame insults in such a short period, and they all do it for the same reason... Hug fords nuts any tighter and you're gonna need a tissue for your face.

It's YOUR story... tell it how ya wanna!
(change subject, sorta)
CHILDREN... Take a moment to think things through. You few people have decided to attack me based on the fact you all like GM products. None of you have proven anything, except that here, GM is to be exalted above all else in the material world. You won't change the facts arguing with me or anyone else and you need (desperately, I might add) to know that, lest you continue going off the deep end simply because someone either disagreed with you, or like I did, posted FACTS you don't specifically like.
The reality is, while Ford may or may not make the best truck in any particular mind, they DO make the ones which sell the most, by a MASSIVE margin, considering all 1/2ton to 1 1/2 ton versions sold. You don't have to like that reality. You DO, however, have to live or die with it, no matter the tantrum you have in the meantime.
In the REAL working world, Ford is KING in the pickup market and has been for more years than most of you complaining here have been breathing. Don't like it? GO BUY A GM(pickup) FOR YOU AND 5 OTHER PEOPLE! If everyone (who feels like some of you here) does that, GM will reign supreme in the world of truck sales!
Before complaining to me again, take into consideration, I didn't MAKE the facts... I merely presented them to the class, so to speak. While most of you are convinced I'm a Ford freak(telling the unfavored truth earns that rep around here), I simply research and supply the information found. I have nothing against full size GM pickups. I've owned 2 of 'em myself.
