Hey everyone!

I'm curious to know how you guys would describe us ford drivers? Common words to describe our trucks are: safe, comfortable, functional, cool, and reliable.

Any Input??

 

It doesn't matter what you drive, there are good people and there are bad people.

As I've gotten older I've realized that staying more relaxed while driving keeps me in a better state of mind.

That said, I will still honk at the driver that stands on the brakes when a vehicle is merging on to the freeway to let them in when there is plenty of room for them to get up to speed and properly merge.

 

I'd describe us as the cream of the crop because we were smart enough to buy the best truck in all the land. Scratch that, the WORLD.

 

Hillbillies. Only in recent years have I seen more tame F-150's, but for every tame one, there are 4 that scream redneck.

 

I would describe them/us the same as any other drivers.

 

Think about it...every trip the object is to get from point A to point B without getting into any accidents or receiving any tickets. Since getting many speeding tickets in my younger days I learned to slow down and just concentrate on my driving and even being courteous to others. I usually drive the posted limits and use the proper procedure when passing slower traffic. F-150's are so abundant on the highways its hard to make a judgement on the good or bad even though most of the newer trucks are driven safely. Not trying to brag but I've been a licensed driver since Jan. 1963 and have logged over one and a half million miles without a chargeable accident. 12 of these years were driving semi tanker trucks in Louisiana and Mississippi so you can say at one time I was a professional driver. Over the years I've taught many family members...my daughters and now my grandkids how to drive safely. Personally I take pride in keeping my truck in tip top shape and that includes being careful driving it on the road. Old picture from Oct. 1972 of one of the Texaco tankers I drove back then. We hauled gasoline..diesel..and jet fuel.

 

Good first post!

 

After taking a good long look in the mirror ...

Grumpy ol' farts who are impossible to get along with!

 

I'm really surprised there's not more sarcastic, and humorous comments on here.

 

I will assume that describes all the members on this forum. And not the small number of
jerk-holes I have encountered in not only F150's but Rams and Titans. I understand
anyones level of animosity to foreign car brands. But do not impose that on my family:

The wife has a Santa Fe, she picked it out, she pays for it. November she had back
surgery. Fusion with two steel rods and 8 pairs of screws. Thus I am doing all
the driving for her and we use the Santa Fe for her ease of entry and exit. I now
have a hightened sensitivity to anything that would cause her problems and pain.

When I look up and see the rear mirror nearly filled with a truck grill......
I am not putzing along, a bit over the speed limit. I have not cut anyone off, I am
not hogging the high speed lane. Late for work? Not my problem. No I will not
tailgate the guy in front of me either so he knows someone behind us needs to go faster.
Or maybe it is just an intense dislike of the foreign car in front of them.

One of these bozo's cause an accident the result would cripple her. I will then be
calling Jeff, Mike, Sam, or one of the others to find one who will burn their life
to the ground.

I acknowledge it is a very small group of truck owners, and some car owners too, that
have these 'driving skills'. And anyone putting the effort to be an active participant in
this forum is highly unlikely to exhibit this type of behavior.
