At one time I owned 6 Ford F-150's,they pulled landscape trailers and
equipment fine for the first 75-80,000 miles,then went belly up and I had a
mechanic on staff for maintenance.I replaced them with GMC trucks with the
Vortec and man what a difference.
All my Fords were '96 models but I hear the newer ones are a lot better.I
sure like the way they look.

Yeah, you could say that. I offered to get an "X" plan for ppl in here.
The
"X" plan is only 4% different than the employees "A" plan, so it's still
quite a savings.

I dunno Warren, I own three Chevy trucks for my business. They are good
trucks, but the main reason I went with Chevy trucks had nothing to do with
quality or features. I have owned an F-250 and an F-150 in the past. They
were great trucks too. I currently still have a 1965 F-250 as a yard truck.
It sits for long periods, and always starts up when we need to move
equipmebt around in the yard.

The main reason I went with Chevy was because of front end help on sales. I
walked in and said, "I need a truck for my business." The first one I had a
good deal on and drove it off the lot before they even had the paperwork
ready. The next two trucks were the same way. Although my family owns a
lot of GM stock, and my father in law is a retired GM principal exec, I
would buy a Ford ina minute if I had gotten the same quality no nonsense
service and a good price on the truck. It was the sales people and the
commercial sales manager that made the difference for me.

I have a 99" 150, with the V-6, I only tow an 18" Tracker weighted about
2400lbs. It does just fine, I live in the mountains of North Carolina and
Fish South Carolina most of the time, so up and down the mountain usually
whenever I go out, it is a great truck.

Just bareley know that it is back there. When I first bought the boat I
had a terrible problem with leaving the plug in it, while I was at the
house. And I have taken many a tons of rain water towards the lake with me.
But have learned after buying more gas then needed and more wear and tear
then I needed, to pull lite.
