That guy drives like a Consumer Reports tester.  I'm glad I don't have
to buy his tires :)

Don't worry - they're paid for by the 2 million people each year who are
willing to pay $30,000 for a badly screwed together F-150 with leaf springs.

Even though I am not a Ford man, but the f-150 is probably the best truck on
the road. Even jdpower agrees. I wish ford had the same qc across all their
lines.

Quite possibly, but if you can't get right the building of what is
effectively 1950's technology what can you get right? :)

At least the huge profit margin pays for the development of Jaguars, Aston
Martins and Land Rovers thus their owners unwittingly enrich the automotive
world. . . . . ;-)

As long as you go into it expecting to replace the front end
prematurely.  For the money it is the best though.

Seems to me according JDPower every car rates best in some category.

And when price is a factor a KIA, even if it is on fire, rates well.
