    I'm not a big fan of ford anymore either. I grew up around them, but I do know that Ford has some serious shit up their sleeve in the hybrid/alternative power world. The EcoBoost engine is an example. They've been sitting on a goldmine is technology for years now.

    Ford has cleaned up their act...only American car I'd buy....I've had a 1998 Mustang, drove the crap out of it with no problems at all. My 2008 Stang is supercharged, 500HP and no problems at all....

    Calm down Babytruck. If you look at the Hybrid Highlander 4x4 it says "this vehicle not desinged for off road use". What's the point of a Hybrid 4x4 SUV or truck that can't go off road?

    People who live in cities that get lots of snow. Come here and try driving a 4x2 truck around in winter and see how long you last.

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    I love how 95% of the people on this site assume that just because people bought a 4x4 that they will take it off-road, then they are flabbergasted to know that some people with 4x4 don't actually off-road and use it for snow.

    Oh yeah the 6.0 psd. Oddly enough its one of my favorite diesels despite its flaws. Of course the legal battle between the Ford and international was very entertaining.

    Why. Why do you like that POS? It was crap, it broke, it was underpowered at the best of times.

    7.3L or the new 6.7L. Nothing in between.

    It had some nice additions like the VGT turbo and when tuned their pretty fast. I wouldn't mind getting a 6.0 but I would not be getting a 03.
