Bender · 09-26-07, 12:13 AM

'07 Silverado W/T 5.3L and drive a VW diesel when not towing. Plenty of power, very happy with the truck.

1FASTLASER · 09-26-07, 06:16 AM

Tried and true 1990 GMC SLE SIERRIA 350 throttle body injection with a WORKED computer. 23mpg with nothing on the hitch. 18mpg with bote in tow.

bassfisher02 · 09-26-07, 03:51 PM

A worthless 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 5-speed 4 cylinder. Gets 18 or so miles per gallon. Dont have a boat to pull yet, but will soon enough.

carolina-rig-01 · 09-26-07, 06:58 PM

Can't figure out how to modify my first post.

WTL · 09-27-07, 12:46 AM

'95 Dodge Ram with a 318 and auto tranny. An absolute lemon by any standard. Stay away from MOPAR, stay away! Seldom does a week go by where I dont have a new problem, even after spending 3k on a new engine and another k on other parts and labor. Should have bought a ford.

bassbooger · 09-27-07, 08:29 AM

Here is mine. 1997 Ford F-150 Short bed.

Rebbasser · 09-27-07, 01:45 PM

'02 F-150. The next one will be a 4x4.

GregK9 · 09-27-07, 02:33 PM

2002 GMC 4X4

leroy · 09-27-07, 05:05 PM

I pull my baby behind a 1997 v6 Isuzu Rodeo... And that's how I got the restraining order.

flfireman · 09-28-07, 12:09 AM

2004 Chevy 2500 4x4 Crew Cab, 6.0- K&N fuel,oil,air filter-cold air intake, 3" lift. 18MPG with or without the boat. Can't really tell it's there when towing.

WTL · 09-28-07, 01:12 AM

Flfireman, do you thing the cold air intake makes a difference? I've thought about getting one (or one of the edelbrock round filters) to replace the stock setup on my truck once I get it consistently running smoothly.

Kawabuggy · 09-28-07, 11:33 AM

You guys that think Ford builds a good product-just keep on buying them. The more Ford sells, the longer I stay in business, and the more money I have to spend on fishing.

I work in the transmission business by the way. I LOVE me some FORDS! I have about 13 of them here on the lot right this minute..

Here are some facts for you:
# 1 car in the nation for needing transmissions-Ford Taurus
# 2 car Mercury Sable (should be lumped in with the Taurus as it is the same car)
#3 Ford Focus
#4 Mazda 626 (you knew that they used Ford transmissions right?)
#5 Honda Accord '02 & earlier
# 6 Full size Ford cars to include Lincoln Town Cars, Grand Marquis, Etc;
# 7 Ford Trucks Includes full size and the Ranger. If the ranger were not included the Full size truck would not be in the top 10.
# 8 Front wheel drive Chevrolet cars-most of them share the same trans.
# 9 Mitsubishi Galant
#10 Nissan Altima-DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER NISSAN PRODUCT!
# 11 Chevrolet Trucks (S10 & full size, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade all use the same transmission unlike FORD).

These figures are generated nationally from data collected from 1,400 different stores. All 50 states are represented.

I encourage all of you to run out and buy a Ford product. Not only are you supporting US jobs on the production line, but you are also keeping more Americans employed in the after-market parts business as well.

For the record, I own a Ford Ranger. I don't dis-like Ford at all. I just would not own a Ford with an automatic transmission. In my business I can get it rebuilt for the cost of parts.. I still won't own one with an automatic.

Of the Domestically produced trucks, we see Dodge the least. When the Dodges do come in, it is usually due to failed/failing governor pressure solenoid, and transducer (switch). 2 easily replaced items.

carolina-rig-01 · 09-28-07, 11:43 AM
