I drove Ford for 38 years and just short of HALF a MILLION miles, Last one, '96 F-250 diesel I kept 24 years and 305,000 miles. Bought a new truck just shy of 3 years ago, a '18 RAM 1500 4WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8 -spd ZF auto trans, quad cab, short rear doors. Towing package. I don't drive it a lot, but I smile every time I get in it. Towed a 6x12 enclosed U-Haul tandem trailer 5-6 months ago, 6000-7000#, 70-75 mph up and down hills in western WISCONSIN, held 75 up every hill, just dropped a couple gears, never over half throttle the whole 300 mile trip. Took it on a 1000 mile weekend 2 months ago. Bucked head wind & rain all the way west, 16 mpg @ 65-70mph. Drove 70-75 mph home I-90 east bound, drafted a nearly identical truck part way, 20+ mpg! SON drove a '19 F150 with 3.5L Eco-Boost for a week while his '18 Mustang GT got a new manual trans, says it really ran hard. Wife's little 2.0L 4 cyl EcoBoost in her '15 Edge runs like a much bigger V-6 or V-8. Had a 3.5L non-turbo V-6 Edge for 4-5 months before the one we have now, Wife called it a gutless dog. It was. Unless you floored it, got the tach reading 6000 rpm, it wouldn't go. Anyhow, 3 recalls on my RAM for silly things, rides nice, great brakes, never had a Ford pickup stop like this RAM. Only changes I'd want are to have a block heater and a locking rear axle. And I got used to an 8 ft bed with my F250, might want another regular cab long box.
Oh, Didn't GM switch to aluminum bodys a year or two ago? They stopped the stupid commercials dropping bricks and blocks into truck beds. So actual 3 brands of aluminum bodied trucks, Ford, Chevy, GMC. GMC's look O-K but some Chevies are HIDEOUSLY UGLY. Would not be caught dead in them.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
