I like ford they are nice. I want to punch my friend every time he talks crap about them (he's a Chevy Fanboy) The aluminum prototype f-150 burnt to the round on a test run. Once a truck no a pile of metal the size of a crawler tire
2 of our 4 cars are ford a ford c-max hybrid with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder and a electric engine making 188 hp and a 2016 ford ranger supercab wildtak 3.2 liter 5 cylinder making 200hp
My dad owns a 2002 Ford Explorer, the transmission is shot on it though. But otherwise it's an awesome vechical to storm chase in.(In my opinion) --- Post updated --- Wow! Do you know why no one put the fire out?
Ranger is good. Everything else.. Depends I guess. My grandpa's '13 Fiesta ST was a fun car. Then their Escape (The only manual crossover I've ever driven) wasn't that good, really. Don't like most of their bigger trucks either.
we in our family had alot of fords my dad had a Ford Escort Sport (Last gen), my mom had a Ford Fiesta (Third Gen FL), my grandpa has a Ford Mondeo from 2001 and it rusts alot and my aunt has a Ford Focus Sedan from the newest Gen it looks hideous but all in all i love ford two of my dream cars are fords the Sierra Cosworth and Escort RS cosworth also another uncle of mine had a Capri
That's much better! Thanks! --- Post updated --- How DID that Ford catch on fire, 'cause a Ford cannot just randomly light on fire.
Any car can. It's just a matter of leaking fuel getting ignited. --- Post updated --- Well, Ford made the best trucks. Now they lost my respect with the aluminium beds. If you dent a steel panel, you can just buff it out. If you dent aluminium, it cracks and a repair is expensive. Aluminium has its place (eg. sports cars), but utility vehicles should stay with good ol' steel.
well the F-150 is fords sports car. if another product eats into the F-150 sales, they'll discontinue it.
aluminium is less prone to crack than steel... Its actually a softer metal that bends far more readily than steel and is alot less brittle. Does mean you're more likely to dent your aluminium bed, but it wont crack, it will pop back more easily.
Yeah, but with modern rustproofing this hardly makes a difference. On the other hand, it is easier to repair or find a shop that repairs aluminium. And while steel can be welded by practically anyone, anywhere, welding aluminium requires special training and enviroment.
Fun fact: I know a person who was driving their truck down the highway, only to have it ignite and then burn on the side of the highway. They happened to be driving a Ford.
