And they still have a 1995 4 speed tranny in the 1500? Crap!

Looks hard to park…and like it uses waaaaaaaaaaay too much gas.

What a total and complete waste of a vehicle.

Let’s see: hood, cab, box. Yup, it’s a truck alright.

“Too much gas” is a matter of perspective.
As with most heavy-duty diesel trucks, it’ll do about 15mpg around town, 15mpg on the freeway, 15mpg in mixed driving, and probably about the same 15mpg when towing it’s maximum capacity. Those big trucks always get about the same no matter what you’re doing. For a 2500HD that towing capacity is a whopping 15,000lbs.

Try to tow 15,000lbs behind a Prius and see what kind of mileage you get. Hell, try it even with a light-duty F150 or 1500.

so we get this news instead of the all new and exciting Camaro? damn

I’ll be pleased to have our daily Camaro story instead of this truck crap.

Give us this day our daily Camaro story.

Chevy trucks suuuuuuuuuuuck!!!! whos been the best for 31 years going on 32. Say it with me “Ford”. Stop writing storys on second place winners. It’s like the Lakers taking the glory for a 2008 championship

In order to purchase one of these trucks you should have to show that you will actually be towing something. My dad actually needs one due to his business and transporting tractors ect.

Based on article about demise of Detroit auto industry, we may be looking at the next Hyundai, Tata or Geely (or whatever they call that Chinese company).

Sorry, ihustle. That just means 32 years ago most American truck buyers turned into complete retards and assumed bigger means better. GM trucks have always been far superior both in reliability and design. I’ve never had a truck give me as many headaches as a Ram or F-Series. The lighter and smaller GM trucks have always returned better towing and payload capacity. So many truck buyers have been brain washed by the “big-rig” look that GM was forced to make their trucks bigger. The transmission in my friends Ram 2500 crapped out twice within 10k miles. I always hear about Ford’s shift levers breaking off. WTF?? The only problem I’ve had with my truck was a bad fuel pump but, that was only because I always used to let the tank go nearly empty. I’ve got 150k on the clock and plan to go another 150k AT LEAST.

About the bumper, looks muuuuuuch better. Glad they updated because the current unit is ugly as hell.

c6racer i think the only one with mental retardation was your mother because she obviously passed it along to you. Just because you had a problem with your Ford means the whole fleet is ****?Are you insane. GMC ID BEST IN CLASS IN NOTHING!!!!!!Ford still has best inclass payload, best in class towing. You know all the thing a truck guy uses a truck for. CHECK OUT FACTS BEFORE YOU START TYPING. Ford has been an industry leader for the last 32 years. So go drink a can of WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAH and relax. Gmc has never WILL NEVER beat ford in anything.32 YEARS!!!!!

Ihustle are you from Alabama? Ask someone that owns a 6.4L Powerstroke what they think about it. I am pretty sure they would have rather bought an older 7.3 instead of the new TT.

Point is: The new ones are crap!

I sell Fords. I know everything we lead and and the stuff we dont. The things were the best at out weighs all others. One thing Ford has been consistent on are the quality of there trucks, if you dont believe it our numbers do the talking. #1 baby haha make as many theorys and comments that you want.

FACT:FORD HAS THE BEST SELLING “VEHICLE”(both car and trucks) IN THE WORLD!!!!!F150 #’s do the talking

Here’s a theory you dont like…. GMC and Chevy together outsell your F series by a pretty good number. But thats not fair is it. I really like Ford chevy dodge nissan and toyota… They all have there own good qualities..

F-series is the best selling vehicle, vehicle being the key word, in the United states. Dont give me your fairy tale #’s, “well if gmc and chevy and toyota and nissan combined there truck sales”shuuuuuuuut the fuuuuuck up hahaha that was prob the worst response of all time HAAHAHAHA I got a laugh, thanks

Rot do you live in the land of make believe? Is your best friend the little mermaid?Get your facts straight or say something remotely inteligent

ihustle i could say the same to you. so far this year the honda civic is leading vehicle sales. do your research, now don’t you feel like a complete douche

Ihustle, are you a green pea? You sure write like it. Buddy, GM builds far superior trucks. The frames on the Ford, although functional, are still substandard compared to GM’s. In addition, the Powerstroke is a second-rate engine designed by a company that even Ford doesn’t like. And F-Series trucks utilize way too low of gearing across the board, resulting in lower fuel economy and only slightly higher tow ratings. In fact, because of those low gears, it has the ability to compete with GM trucks. Ultimately, the only thing that you’ve got going for you is confidence. So good luck in sales. Too bad you’re a moron.

By the way, it’s the best-selling truck only because GM has two truck brands.

well ford will be ready to fight when it gets here

If Chevy’s are so good, why does everyone buy the Super Duty Ford instead of the “Hey I got a bulging hood so I must be tougher than a normal Silverado!”?

Both are good trucks. But Ford says if you want a real heavy duty pickup, make one on its own platform, and don’t be a wuss and just “strengthen” your light duty ones.

Note: 99% of car salesman are idiots and are programmed by the boss to lie. Ihustle in all seriousness where do you live?

sprokkets, you said EXACTLY what ford buyers say. “It looks huge so it must be the best” Why do you think GM gave the Chevy a huge bulging hood? So they can get the retards to buy them. GM drivers already know how good their trucks are so they just see the huge hood as a plus. I personally hate the huge front end of the Chevy. I would much rather have the GMC version. In fact, my favorite looking GM trucks were those built from 1988-2000, although they weren’t GM’s high point but were still better than anything else.
Plus, the HD frames, although similar in design, are completely different units. Have you even compared the chassis of the HD to the light duty version? The HD frames are about 3 or 4 inches wider and have much higher rigidity.
I’m a die hard GM truck fan so I’m not just talkin out of my you-know-what-I’m-not-supposed-to-say-or-else-LLN-will-erase-my-post… again, unlike others who just say crap to piss people off.

ihustle, I’ve never owned a Ford because I already know plenty of people who do so I let them find out the hard way.

Duramax+Allison 1000= unbeatable combination.

ihustle: Ford has had an advantage over Chevy because we don’t combine GMC and Chevy sales #’s.

Also Ford does have a stronger Fleet sales #’s. They are cheaper trucks and thats what alot of companies want, since they can write off the losses they incur anyway.

and btw, any truck can claim ‘best overall’ payload or towing in some kind of cab/engine combination(Toyotas claim is using their biggest engine with a Regular Cab Truck!). The one that matters most though is in Crew Cab 1500’s and the 2500 and 3500HD class, and thats where Chevy/GMC has them all beat.

madcapp, raineman, howsmydriving: i think you all need the japaneese stick taken out of your asses. open your eyes…and watch me drive around in my 3/4 ton duramax diesel daily driver. you can shut the **** up now.
ihustle: you’re backing Furd because you work there, they pay for your **** and you are completely blind to anything but what they tell you. Furds are ****, they’ve had 100+ years to try and get it right, the only thing they did get right was the mass-use of the assembly line. i don’t care how many **** fleet vehicles they sell, GM is still top selling auto manufacturer in the world, whether they are selling trucks, cars, saab…whatever. who gives a rats ass if you can fling a truck around on the tow hooks…big ****in woop, i’d hook my stock ‘07 dmax up to an ‘07 powerjoke anyday, and i guarantee that not only would i win, but i wouldn’t be the one with anything broken.

I like the combo of duramax and allison too. Much better than Ford’s. Although I like the Cummins engine the best, there is no way I would, even if it looks right, get a Dodge.

Of course, according to sales charts, the GMC truck is not even on the top 20. Ford though combines sales of both the light and super duty.

Currently as of May, Ford is 37k ahead of the S Series.

You are all speaking on mute points. The majority of everything your saying are opinions. I speak on facts. Ford makes the only truck with a “fully” boxed frame. Best in class payload. Best in class towing. BEST IN CLASS SALES!!!!!!! What are you guys defending? Your going to be beat once again, and again next year, and again the following year. It has nothing to do for working for FORD. These are facts. I only speak on facts. Opinions are like assholes, everone has one. Your entidled to them. You never beat us, and you most likely never will. Face it, Ford has the best truck. Do yourself a favor. Go to youtube and search:Truth about trucks. Well see how well your GMC piece of **** handles, and is built.

lol, you are funny man ihustle. i appreciate the humor you provide to this forum.

you need to check your manuals kid and relearn the facts. as i mentioned, your ford is ‘best in class’ in ONE body segment, just as Toyota and Dodge can claim. BUT when it comes to the most popular segment in a light duty truck, the crew cab/full four door, Chevrolet has all the competitors beat in payload and towing.

tell you what, go drive your F-150 crew cab and slam on the brakes. after you peal your nose off the steering wheel, go drive a Chevy and see the difference in braking and handling. Maybe then you’ll want to sell a real truck! The only way I loose a sale to a customer comparing between a Chevy and a Ford truck is either because they are blind loyal to Ford OR Ford had/has better incentives to give away their inferior trucks

and thats a fact!

Its not a fact. The F-150, superduty are best-in-class in everything. If its so inferior, which you previously stated, why does FORD BEAT THEM IN SALES YEAR AFTER YEAR. 31 years straight is no fluke. Its like saying the New York Yankees isn’t the best baseball franchise of all time. Once you beat us, i will bow. Until then my head is high. Being the best, is definately paying my bills. I sell at least 10 pick up trucks a month. Were beating GMC by 37k sales already this year. You wont, and never will, catch us. Search:”Truth about Trucks” watch it

Ihustle, despite how far-fetched your comments are, you should register at upyoursale.com.

Actually, bradleygt, if you’re a salesman you should register there, too.

FAR FETCHEd? There facts tell me one thing i lyed about. We are #1 in everything a truck is used for, were number 1 in sales. We did it for the last 32 years. What did i lye about?thats right nothing so shut up

First off, ihustle, you should probably learn how to SPEEL since you are an “accomplished” car/truck dealer. Second, I’ve been reading you throwing a lot of “best in class” crap around. “Best in class” (yes, in MY opinion) is a term that the auto manufacturers came up with to ADVERTISE their product as better than the other. And also in MY opinion, I don’t care who uses “best in class” lingo, it’s a load of dog ****. It means that one itty, bitty little component of that vehicle is better than the others, where-as everything else is either the same or inferior. I have operated (never owned) Furds in my time, and I can say with a straight face that they are an inferior product pound for pound. Yes, there are certain things that make them kind of cool (factory built-in auxillary switches is one…and only come to think of it), but the reality is that Furd is a joke. Now stop stealing quotes from Mike Rowe on those commercials and go back to watching your Design on a Dime reruns.

You’re an idiot. Anybody who reads your posts – that is, anbody short of a blind, die-hard Ford buyer – will steer clear of you and Tom’s Ford.

I speak on facts. Ford makes the only truck with a “fully” boxed frame. – ihustle

Your super duty uses a c pillar and the Titan has had a “fully” boxed frame for a while now. Come on dude…. I really hope you dont tell your customers these facts.

Titan does not have a fully boxed framed. Is titan even a truck? NIssan and toyota should join the worst truck in the world club. Ford is a class leader. FYI they use the “best in class” to distinguish **** from gold. Ford has won every “best in class” for every component on there truck that matters. Its not a test conducted by Ford dumbass. GMC never won and never will. Since you know where i work you can come down and ill do a walk around for you and show you what a real truck feels like. GMC is 37k behind in sales, let me remind you they combine there chevy sales. 37k behind Ford catch us if you can. You havent in 32 years so i doubt it.Good riddiance

It feels like were arguing over football teams. If they Yankees won every world series. There would be no arguement in who the best baseball franchise is. FOrd has done it for 32 years in truck sales. Theres no arguing. There is only facts. Us beating gmc is a fact, and a harsh one that gmc owners have had to deal with for a long time

just because uninformed people by the ford doesn’t make it better. Justin Timberlake also sells a lot of records and I wouldn’t put him in the top 1000 musicians right now. Also who the hell would qualify a salesperson as an automotive knoledge. They are trained by seminars and videos to sell the truck, nothing else. Most are lucky if they know how to jumpstart one on the lot. And don’t F-ing lye to me that fords never need to be jumped ihulse. I’ve seen enough on the back of a wrecker to know they have problems.

Salesperson story time: A friend of mine was looking at a Duramax. Salesperson walks up to him and says, “Yeah, you want that Duramax? The one that is a converted gasoline engine to a diesel.”

Monte brought up a good point that I forgot, salespeople are usually retarded. There are exceptions when they are truely passionate about their job and cars in general, so no offense to those of you here. Furd can talk all they like, there are certainly other reasons that they are the “best selling”; I’m not sure what exactly is the reason, but it is definitely not because they are “better”.

here ihustle..this is from a 3rd party site….still want to claim that your the best in payload and towing? or I’m sure you’ll say they are lying right click on the link to see!

http://www.edmunds.com/apps/nvc/edmunds/VehicleComparison?styleid=100911252&styleid=100903608&styleid=100919601&styleid=100948561&maxvehicles=5&refid=&op=3&tab=specs

I see a lot of “Best in Class” numbers there…

exactley. dodge has it for payload, Chevy has it for Towing, epa mpg, Ford has some in Leg Room I think, etc. Like someone else said its all marketing and advertising stuff. It comes down to if the customer likes the looks, the drive and the price. If all that fits good, then you got a sale

Who really gives a f**k. Get a life.

I love Edmunds.

I don’t know why Ford owners are so protective and insecure about themselves? If Ford wants to claim #1 status because they sell more F150 then go ahead, but I don’t consider 1/2 trucks with baby engines real trucks! And with regards to the new Ford diesel with the TT’s…forget about it, they’re all dropping like dead flies! And to make matters worst Ford…”The great number # 1 truck company” is leaving their
customers hanging and not standing behind their product. So just wait, you’ll soon starting seeing all these
manly Ford owners walking around all depressed sucking their thumbs because Ford no longer #1

i have a duramax and a powerstroke the duramax has alot more power.
