That was idiotic - F**d saying that the 20% September pickup sales slump had nothing to do with the decision to suspend production for two weeks to avoid an excess of inventory!

I heard the new Powerstrokes do very well in front end collision tests........Because the tow truck absorbs most of the impact!!!!! But seriously folks, how can you tell you're in Ford country????? Because there is a phone booth every 500 feet...

Ford must think their customers are really stupid if they'll fall for the PR lies.

Then again, I've met a lot of Ford customers, and Ford might be on to something

Yup . Really reveals the mentality of Ford fans . Like the guy from MA saying all Super Duties have commercial registration . In MA ALL pickups get commercial registration unless the owner says the weight will not exceed 6,000 lbs. Saying truck sales are down because of construction ?? Then why are truck sales up for all other manufacturers ?
