My Tow Rig in Action

IMO the new ford trucks are so cool looking compared to the chevy's and dodges..

When dodge changed their pickup to the new style in 96(I think) I was a huge fan of them.. Then Ford outdid them.

How anybody could buy a silverado is beyond me.

Nice rig

not to mention the ford ended up being abot $100 a month less than the silverado would have been.

I totally disagree.. i do not like the new ford f150s at all.. the interior on them is too Luxuray truck for me.. But to everyone entitiled their opinion.. As for the dodgee.. i beleive the changeover was in 94

I don't like the new F150 body style at all. However, the F250-350's look sweet. Too bad they come with the Powerjoke instead of a real diesel. I love the look of the F350 dually long bed with the biggest cab, whatever they call it.

nice tow rig. I'm trying to sell my stroker to buy a 05 F150 for towing.

Funny, I thought International did build real diesels.... at least more "real" than Isuzu

[badazzamc]

thats what that is an 05 f-150 and it tows great.

So what happened to the ol black Dodge ??? too much abuse ?

[badazzamc]

i just couldnt pass up the deal on the new ford, i miss the dodge though i beat the hell out of that truck and didnt have any problems except the trans but that is expected from an automatic dodge. it was a good truck to say the least.

yes it was 94 when dodge changed over, and i think that all the trucks look ugly now.. I am glad I have my style ram, I just need to update the drive train, and Ill be set. Although if you do take the crome off of the new dodges, they look ok. As for the others I would think the same, just havent payed attention

dodge did change in 94 then again in 03. In 06 they have redesigned the interior, a few exterior changes, a new new suspension in the front, and a lot of N.V.H. controls.

I haven't completely warmed up the the F150 exterior, but it's growing on me. I was just coming around to like the last generation It has too much plastic and is too car-like, but then so are the Dodge & GM. Despite what the automotive press tells me, I cannot take the Nissan, Toyota, and Honda (especially the Honda, which makes the Lincoln and Escalade pickups look legit) seriously as full-size trucks. I hope the big three react to the Nissan an step up the content and innovation however.

The F150 interior, however, rocks.

[C.K.]

what are the spec on the truck. I am looking for a tow rig this spring and was interested in the F150.

[badazzamc]

the new f-150's are rated at like 9500 lbs for towing, it seems like a lot for a half ton but thats what they say. i know it pulls the 20ft trailer and jeep with no problem. i am happy with it.
