Dumbest thing someone has said about your truck

I have a 2016 2.7l F150. The 14 years before that I drove a 2002 3.0l v6 5 speed Ranger EDGE (Loved that truck). The guys at work (Chevy/Dodge fans) were giving me crap about the aluminum ALLOY body. They think it's made out of beer cans. The worst comment was from a female at work who drives a Ram 3500 dually as a daily driver (don't ask). When I mentioned that I bought an F150 she turned around and said "Oh your gonna hate that truck, it's just too small!"

5.0 Ecoboost
I had someone ask me if my truck had the 5.0 Ecoboost. I politely said no and that Ford didn't make a 5.0 Ecoboost. He proceeded to tell me that not only did they make a 5.0 Ecoboost, but that his brother's truck had one. I told him to pop the hood one day and see what was actually under the hood (unless his brother is that guy on YouTube who has that highly modded twin turbo 5.0).

I never knew Harley Davidson made trucks!
Why did you but a Harley Davidson Edition if you don't own a Harley Davidson? Same reason your from New York City and you Drive a Lariat. A lot of opportunities to Rope and Ride in Downtown New York? By the way doesn't your Brother own a King Ranch? Shut up man its just the package that came with the Truck??? Oh never mind!
You bought a new Truck, those are so expensive, what were you thinking, thats just Stupid. I'd never pay that much for a Truck!!! Can I barrow your truck to move somethings to storage.
When I bought my 95 Explorer 4x4 XLT in 1997 after a little Mud trip really covered in Mud on my way home stopped to get gas. Had older woman tell me I was ruining my Truck.
I reminded her that it was a 4x4, she told me the 4x4 is ONLY a safety feature and I was ruining the truck.
I paused for a bit, said I appreciate the concern but your mistaken this is MY truck, not my Dads I'm the one who makes the payments. And as such I'm ensuring that the 4x4 is still operational. "its ONLY a safety feature to be used in emergencies" I reminded her that her $3000+ safety feature will not work when she wants it to if she doesn't test it on occasions then told her how to test and engage it.

"It's a half-ton truck. That means it can only tow 1000 pounds."
I didn't even know how to respond. I figured trying to explain the actual specs to them wouldn't do any good anyway. So I just said "Thanks for your concern."
I've towed over 7500 lbs with my 2005 F150 Super Crew without breaking a sweat, and I had hauled over 8500 with my old 1985 F150. And that's just the weight of the trailer - I had more stuff in the back of the truck as well.

At any rate, got rid of the RV when our youngest moved out and we moved to the lake. No real need for a 1 ton. I think the F-150 will do just fine with a 5600 pound boat and trailer.
