I'm with you man. I have never understood why people get so attached and defensive about a specific brand to the point that they feel the need to trash on other brands. They all make good trucks, even Nissan and Toyota. I bought my Ram because it was the best value for the dollar at the time, and the ride quality was better than the rest. That doesnt mean I think Ram is the best truck on the road, and it certainly isnt the worst truck on the road. And saying that it isnt the best truck on the road does not mean that I dont like it and shouldnt be on a Ram forum. I'm on a Ram forum because I drive a ram, not because I hate other trucks. If someone wants to drive a GMC, great, I think they are nice trucks. If someone likes Ford, great, I've had probably 10-11 of them in my life. Right now, it's Ram.
That’s just your opinion, bud. Why does it seem like its so hard for you to understand why some people would get attached and be loyal to one brand? I’ve been driving Mopar products all the way back since the year 2000 when I bought my very first Dodge, a 96 Dakota with that almighty 318 under the hood. Instant love. And they’ve all been good to me so that’s why Ive stuck with what I drive.
I don’t care for Ford, never have but primarily it’s just because I don’t like the way they look, I think they’re uglier than sin, I don’t like that they make them out of aluminum and how they try to talk that “military grade” aluminum up so high like it’s tougher than a box of 16 penny nails, and it’s not. I don’t like how they act like they don’t have any rusting issues because of that aluminum body, but they fail to mention the potential of rusting problems on that steel frame or on any of the other steel components that’s on the undercarriage but by God you’ll never have rust on that pop can aluminum bed, cab or fender.
I don’t like how they tried to make themselves sound so much better than the other two major brands when Chrysler and GM took their bailouts,
and then turn around and “borrow”.... 6 billion dollars from the government because if they gloated so much on not needing help from the government on such trying times, then why all the sudden turn around less than two years later and end up doing pretty much the same thing that the other two did?
I don’t like how they act like they’re so much better than every other manufacturer and say that they are the best trucks on the road just because they sell so many. Well, in my book, how ever many units you sell doesn’t say that you’re the best. McDonald’s probably outsells anybody involved and hamburgers by far but does that make them the best? No, it does not. And I guess one of the main reasons why I don’t care for Ford is because all of these diehard Ford fans that come up with some of the dumbest **** they can think of to argue with over the years is what’s really causing me to probably say that Ford is the absolute one brand that I hate the most and don’t care for them at all.
Does all this sound petty? Do I care if any of you think this is petty? No, I certainly do not. I have my reasons just like you guys have your reasons. Do I expect you to believe everything I said? No, I do not. Do I expect any of you to agree with me? No, I don’t on that, either. I don’t like their marketing techniques, I don’t like their style of new things they come out with and how they make it sound like they’re so much more on top of the other brands like for example when they came out with that new F150 years ago where they thought they had achieved some major breakthrough by putting the rear shock absorbers outside the frame and put them between the rear tires and the frame; like that’s really going to be better than everybody else who moves the shock stand closer towards the differential. Or like, when they had that one commercial years ago when they advertised that their bed bolts were so strong that using just one bolt would support the entire weight of the truck… that’s an innovation??...lol. Yeah, those bolts might be as strong as any other bolt made but does it really matter when that soft metal bed gets ripped right over the those super strong bolts that are still going to be tightly fastened to the frame?
It’s just a whole bunch of stuff that’s accumulated throughout the years is why I have a bad opinion of Phord. If y’all don’t like that then well I don’t know what to tell ya.
