yarddog82abn,

Actually I get a cold chill of abject fear when I see “42″ (Douglas Adams must be turning in his grave”) on TV.

Anyway, Texas is almost a country unto itself. The love of trucks here almost trumps all good sense.

savedsol, I figured we’d get some flack on that one! But, really, how often do you see a longhorn Subaru Forester? We couldn’t pass that photo up…

pzimet, thanks for your input!

This is perhaps one of the most pathetic stories I’ve ever read on LLN.

Shame on Texas.

Shame on Ford.

****ing idiots.

Named truck of Texas, but it’s built in Dearborn, Michigan! Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, built in Flint/ Pontiac Michigan. Dodge Ram, built in Warren, Michigan.

Michigan is like a different world. About 5 out of 6 cars here are domestic/

The new 2009 F-150 is nice, but the 2009 GMC Seirra Denali owns it in looks and power!

If you thank about it the Ford F-series is the number one truck sold in Texas as a madder of fact, American truck brands out sell imports 7.6 out of 10.0 for retail and 9.7 out of 10.0 fleet sales, California is No. 2, were off by 20,000 truck sales… And this is off a NADA report most dealers get every month… And ya what’s up with the Pic?…

Why is there a pic of a Subaru if this is about the F-150?

Chris C.-

For whatever it is worth, I like the Ford Flex. So you can add at least one person to the like column. And, from the looks of things in Texas, there are at least a few more folks that would put themselves in the like column.

Chris C,

Let me clarify. The automakers are not allowed to sponsor the event in any way, shape or form. They can send as many PR people as they like to help educate reporters on their products, but Ford certainly had a smaller representation than either Chrysler or Toyota. The winners won based on their own merits, not because the automakers dump “tons of money, time and support” into the event.

Is there supposed to be some great revelation in this? Clearly, the Ford Motor Company dumps tons of money, time and support into this event. This is supported by the fact they gave an award of any kind to the Flex, a vehicle that is so far removed from any other mainstream vehicle and, not to mention, nothing more than another dull, Taurusesque people mover.
