Can you remember when they came out with the 351 with four barrel carb with 210 or so HP. That was a big deal back then. Now we are wondering if 300 plus is enough on a lighter truck. Just saying

REALLY looking forward to the upcoming Fusion Sport, with the 2.7 Eco & AWD. Should be a real sleeper.

Another part of my decision was to reward Ford for not taking a tax payer stolen bail out during the recession. I am a firm believer in putting my money where my mouth is. Chrysler and GM will not be getting my money unless Ford falls of drastically. And quite honestly, Ford overall is making the best vehicles since the recession,shoulders above the rest. Find what you like and get it. I am very happy with my F150.

As I re-reviewed the government bail out...Ford did not take TARP money, which was the tax payer funded bail out money for poor performing "too big to fail" companies. Ford took a separate government loan from money what was set aside for auto manufacturers to meet certain requirements for "green" and "electric" vehicles.
It is fair to debate whether or not these loans should be given, but this was different money for different objectives.

Regardless, I hate ford fanboys that throw out the government motors etc. get over it. Compare product to product and move on.

A bail out loan is different from an incentive loan to make law compliant vehicles.
Registered Republican (unfortunately) but really independant/Libertarian you goon. Volunteered for Ron Paul's campaign. I may not know a ton about trucks but dont be foolish and test me on politics.
Anyways, if you think voting actually matters in this day of electronic voting machines you are a fool. The "hanging chad" was an intentional ploy by the Bushs' to get their back door rigged electronic machines in.

There are various reasons we choose to drive a Ford. There are equally as many reasons to put up with certain things that come with the brand. I've always loved ford vehicles and now I'm driving a 2015 F150 I am even more impressed. What makes me even more proud is I'm not driving a Government Motors pickup.
