Yeah, a test which is COMPLETLEY irrelevant to anyone who actually buys a new half ton. On the other hand, flat cams and bad lifters is something that will affect EVERYONE who has a SBC with cylinder deactivation.
It's relevant to me. I carry a lot of ammo cans and I could easily see one falling and giving aluminum a big dent.
Something else that struck me in the article was that truck owners are very brand loyal. Certainly see that here.
A $100 bedliner would completely alleviate your concerns. Which shouldn't be much of a stretch on the wallet for a guy buying a new truck.
Your posts do make that apparent.
Think I'll look into investments in Bauxite production.
Payment free is a good thing. Congrats on the purchase.
Nice. Payment free will be *so* much nicer than burning brand new off of it.
Go with a Ford you won't regret it. Best pickups on the road.
One thing that's been interesting to me is seeing the race for the best pickup unfold over time. Seems like the pendulum swings back and forth across time. As in, for some period of years, Ford will make the 'overall' best truck...then for some period of years, Chevy will. Dodge chased the pendulum until their 1994 model, which was interesting. Then Toyota in the mix somewhere too. But, the race between Ford and Chevy trucks is particularly interesting...and it looks like Ford has the edge right now. That's one big reason why it's important to not be brand loyal, and choose the one that's making the best product (because that changes over time).
