People have lost their ever loving minds. The press has everyone so ginned up on this pandemic farce, it’s amazing.

 

[A1Oni]

people have their knickers knotted all over this crap that doesnt really affect them, then again I buy used cars so what do I know.

 

[candcallen]

You folks are going to be raggedy assed hungry homeless and afoot if you play the boycott game. Every company does stupid offensive shit.

Just sayin....

 

[candcallen]

You probably boycott Government Motors now ford. Boycott yourself into foreign car makers.

Yes I know where parts come from.

 

[seeker_two]

Considering the chip shortage, no more Fords for anyone....

 

[Dawico]

So do I need to sign in to actually see that the article is talking about Ford?

All I get is the clickbait first paragraph. Usually there's a "read more" button for me to read on and them to get more clicks.

Scrolling down is just more clickbait titles and clickbait ads. No more article.

Ford hasn't existed to me for the past 20 years. I had a 2000 F-150 that the rear differential gears blew up on at 61,000 miles. I had purchased 12 Fords in the previous 6 years and showed the factory rep at my Ford dealer the documentation but all he said was that I was 1,000 miles over drive train warranty. I paid $600 to replace the gears and sold the truck within 3 days and bought a new Silverado. Never bought another Ford since and would drive a Yugo over a Ford any day.

Actually there is a plus to that. I bought a new 21 Silverado in Apr. All of the electronics is amazin/annoying. The thing that I didn't like was the Auto-Stop at redlights It can be turned off but you have to do it EVERY time it is started. No permanent disable. In June they announced because of the chip shortage that FEATURE was being disabled and giving a $50 credit to new buyers for the inconvenience??? How about crediting the old owners (2 months) who didn't want it????.

Don't get into Ferds, bought a new 2009 1T CC SRW. It came with defective Continental radial tires, had to replace 2, by 85,000 miles the front end had to be rebuilt. The final straw was to get rid of rattles the biscuits (6)the cab sits on had disintegrated and needed to be replaced. Total repair $1600, they have to pull the cab to replace then. The engine was fine. You would think a 1t would have heavy duty suspension

Traded it for a used 2015 Silverado CC 1T dually w/ 108k on it, Duramax/Allison combo. No deletes, stock. It would outpull the Ferd over a known piece of interstate pulling the same load at same cruise control setting pulling the same trailer (16k RV) and the Ferd had been deleted. Sold RV and traded it for the 2021. No repairs had to be made on the Chev in 45kmi.

Urinate on Ferd.

The only Ford I would own is a second generation 7.3 diesel that was regularly serviced. Used vehicle wise I’m really only taking the 7.3 and dodge 5.9 diesel seriously. Gas wise it would be a 4.0 from jeep or Toyota. Gas ford I would consider a 4.6

New rigs are trash. After having my 2016 Colorado diesel for a while I freaking hate technology. Give me a manual with manual windows. Give me a basic radio with no touch screen. My touch screen has a ghost. I love the 2.8 diesel. It’s simple and reliable but I want to go back to an older rig.

Toyota is screwing themselves by no longer offering a V8 in the Tundra in 2022.
V6's and Hybrid's are for Soccer Mom's, not for people that actually use their trucks for real work.

your first mistake was looking at new cars

You do realize that if they aren't making new cars and trucks, and they aren't selling new cars and trucks, there will be no used cars at some point?

 

[Sam7sf]

Another reason I’m not a fan of new trucks is more are going to turbocharging. Those engines are not designed to be high mileage. Automobile manufacturers are making rigs like cell phones. They don’t want you to not replace parts.

yeah, so what? I drive a 1995 Toyota 4Skinner that shakes like the space shuttle colombia when it goes over 55, gets terrible gas mileage, but it goes forward and has 4wd
