Just FYI, i've seen many "rigs" with dump boxes, trailers full of dirt, gravel, grain, pipe, logs, whatever, haul *** both on- and off-road, on jobsites, farm fields, gravel roads, ice roads... Some of these "rigs" have a rougher life than 90% of the F150s and SDs out there... And most of them still look and perform good!
Just my opinion though (or facts!)

I feel like I should bow out of this conversation. I feel like some of you are getting butthurt, which is not my intentions. I didn't say big rigs don't work hard, nor did I assert that f150s or SDs do. My F250 is a glorified car almost all the time. Maybe 10 times a year it is a truck.

I stated my opinion, clarified it as an opinion, and defended it as an opinion. No need to further derail this thread. Need to vent more?, feel free to PM me and I'll decide whether or not to respond.

Thank you

So the 6.2 loses the monster 6R140 TorqShift and gets the TorqShift-G transmission ? They say it's a fuel economy saving thing, but sounds like a downgrade to me considering they stick with the 6R140 in the HD and diesel applications.

Regarding the Aluminum body. The bike industry uses a lot of Aluminum. When a AL frame cracks it is toast due the the heat treating . There is no welding a crack and moving on. I hope they got it right.
