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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
