This gives Ford a bad name

I was driving through town when I saw something that made me almost role on the floor. A Ford truck was being pulled around by a Chrysler minivan. The Dorf was a Ranger, but still I thought it was funny a pickup being towed by a minivan.

Little story for the day. Went to go get a haircut and saw these two people blocking my way and jacking with a car on one of those "drive half-way on tow behind trailers" They had pushed the car up and over the front stops and the car was stuck on its frame, front wheels dangling!! NEway I helped them get it fixed and noticed that they were actually tow truck drivers (Name on side of their truck) kinda and they told me why they were using this contraption if they were a towing company... They have 5 actual tow trucks, all powerjokes, all but one was in the shop. 2 had cracked blocks and don't know about the others, not running though.. So they were forced to try and make some money with the tow behind and their personal truck (ford F-150)

Way to be their for the worker that rely on you Ford as my dodge pulled the car off the trailer and back to safety!!

I jus cant beleive ford would put that big of a POS motor in their trucks.. You think they would be smarter about it instead of takin all these trucks in on warranty claims and loosing money the way they do.. Im so glad i hate fords to death..
