The newest Ford is still going to be worse than the older Ferrari, even though the Ford is newer, and has better technology. When the Ferrari comes out with the new tech, wowzerz, lok out, Ford!

Except Ford is God in the Car industry. Now if you were talking Dodge or Chevy vs Ferrari then sure, but Ford? Hell no. Ford is ALWAY number one. Always.

FORD F-350 DESIEL SUPERDUTY FTW BIATCH!!!
GET-R-DONE!!!
Quote from "goodguy8705" »
Sad fact is, the best cars are definitely not produced by American companies.
There is a reason why too, I just don't know if it's worth getting into with you guys.
Honsetly though, the American vehicle plants are more average-ish. We arn't so much specialized as the Japanese (fuel milage) and the Germans (pure speed).
We all know Ferrari's are fast, but can they go four wheeling? Can they tow a motor home?
(Yes I got a bias for Ford...)
PS. Built Ford Tough!
Specialization isn't the reason why. Ford stays in business because of the F series. That's the only reason.
Well you gotta admit, the Ford F-150 is a GOOD TRUCK.
The Ford F-350 Desiel Superduty is the truck that Gods drive!!!!! All praise to the Ford F-350 Desiel Superduty!!! It is the messiah!!! Praise be to the Ford F-350 Desiel Superduty!!!
Ok seriously though, American vehicles are mostly around because the Japanese have the small cars, the Germans have the speed vehicles, and America fills the nook of power trucks. At least that's how I see it...
First off, I do believe the F-150 is an excellent truck. If I were going to buy a truck, tat would be it.
The reason why foreign cars last longer and require less maintenance than American cars is because a higher percentage of the sales of the vehicles go back into production.
American auto plants employ a lot of people which costs the companies a lot of money in terms of health insurance.
Lets say a car is sold for some amount of money. American companies put about 25% back into production quality, 25% to pay insurance for employees, and 50% to cover cost to produce.
If you take the same car and use foreign companies (Acura, Honda & Toyota), you get something along the lines of 40% into production quality, 10% for employee insurance, and 50% to cover the costs of production.
Thats why there was so much in the news in the last few years about lay offs and employment cut backs. American made companies are moving towards a more robotic based assembly, thus cutting down on the cost to produce as well as the insurance premiums. A robot pays itself off after a few years, minus the cost of upkeep where as a persons salary and insurance stays consistently high over the lifetime of their employment.
I could of said the same thing with just as big words too...
Point is, Ford rules. You want a truck, and I mean a real, manly truck, one you can feel safe in, one you can feel like you don't just own the road, the road worships you, you get a Ford, you want a little sissy wagon you get a Dodge or a Chevy or a *gasps* Gods forbid, Toyota *shivers*...
Oh and you gotta have the shot gun hanging in the rear window. It isn't a pickup truck if it doesn't have a damn shotgun hangin' in the back of the window!
They may take abuse but they are so damn weak.....(power wise)
Funny you should say that considering the most powerful F-150 makes 300hp and 365 lbs of torque while the equivalent Tundra makes 381 hp and 401 lbs of torque. Just some food for thought.
How in the hell do guys start talking about Video Cards and end up on trucks?
Stroke of insperation! Someone contact one of those mod type people and get them to split this thread. There's really two different topics goin' on in here...

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive. Tupac Shakur

I'm taking that as laughter at his stupidity?
In that case you are correct.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
As if, a Smartcar is more durable than some of the "built Ford tough" trucks they have going.
There is a reason why too, I just don't know if it's worth getting into with you guys.

OH and @goodguy: well there are some pretty nice American cars out there (2009 Camero = godly!!!)
The 2009 Comaro is meh. I'm not saying there aren't good American cars, they are just few and far between.

New Camaro looks gay, and Imports are way faster for the money......
Although I would really like a 69 Camaro.
