Bright Red, we call her BART (Big Assed Red Truck) It's now 2 years old, I put 65K on it pulling a 15K 5th wheeler all over this country. And, I still got a smile on my face I can't get off when passing them Fords going up a mountain and the ole ford is pumping fuel outta the exhaust pipe.....

Only 15k when it's rated for 19k ;-) > And, I still got a smile on my face I can't get off when passing them > Fords going up a mountain and the ole ford is pumping fuel outta the > exhaust pipe..... I do have reservations when Cummins comes out with the V8. The Ford and GMC (Izusu) really don't compare. It seems straight cylinder engines have had a good history for being reliable and producing more torque. Both the Ford and Chevy gasoline straight sixes were very good long lasting engines... I guess the v8 stuff is for marketing and fad. > ------MoParMaN------ > > ---Signature Pending Yet Another Assine Comment by MIANDERSON--- >> Bright Red, we call her BART (Big Assed Red Truck) It's now 2 years old, >> I put 65K on it pulling a 15K 5th wheeler all over this country.

I'n not going to buy one, but I'll wait and see what those that do say.
