Chevy vs Ford

For everyone bitchin about cost of all the extra and fancy stuff, and how it makes the trucks less reliable and cost more to fix. Just a quick PSA that all three manufactures make base model steel wheel pickups without any fancy stuff. Let me guess, not one person here is driving one as their daily driver that they bought for themselves?

Had my 13yr old daughter drive my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4door, long box with 6 speed manual up and back one of our field trails then park at the house. It was a little entertaining to me. She couldn't believe me when I told her that pickup is easy to drive and shift compared to the ones I learned on

By the looks of it you are so proud of it, rightfully so, you had to cover your boner.

I didn't know capris were fashionable back then. Learn something new every single day.

Supposedly Trump is supposed to roll back the fuel economy standards. If that is true and depending how much --- could we see Toyota roll back the 5.7, GM no more cylinder deactivation and Ford start making more yotes.

Lot of high mileage Hemi's in the past, good motor.
Just talked with a gal yesterday, she's driving an older Buick with the 3.8 motor. 342,000 miles and purring like a kitten. Those were bullet proof.
