Gotta be the blankety blank LIPS!

And thinking about it, the GMC trucks have a pretty good set of "LIPS" too! But, you'll never catch me buying one!!! Chevy's grill reminds me of Cal Worthington's smile, "So go see Cal and his dog Spot!" :ymhug:

Well big bunkhouse as always thanks for your comments. Underdog? You wont believe the tests but thats ok. Personally I dont give a bling what you drive as long as you enjoy it. Your comments are unwarranted but I guess I am getting use to it.

Now back to our regular scheduled programming and by the way you like your Fords :bounce: you like your Dodge :bounce: I like my Chevy :bounce: so what can be better than that.

The lips grow on you I have seen a lot of new Fords in the campgrounds and as the other brands they are very nice trucks. Also a guy pulled in with his brand new Dodge today, very nice looking

Ya'll are funny to watch with them cute lil trucks! :ymcowboy:

Hey hey I'm jokin' here! But I do love my "big block" 14 liter!

It is amazing they can pull 3/4 the hp & 1/2 the torque (ish) out of an engine half the size.

I meant underdog in the numbers for the results he posted, I more than believe the numbers and tests that honestly show that each truck is the best for a specific person. Mine is the best for me, its the lowest powered, slowest cheapest, it runs on Gasoline and it is exactly what I want and need. I know we all love our trucks and think they are the best, the deal is they are the best for us as individuals, just cause I drive a Ford doesnt mean I think dDodge or GM should stop making trucks.

I can only say one thing, Ford owners are still needing air bags on the larger trailers with heavy Pin weight !
That speaks for itself, however do I love the Fords Dash Display system and auto folding mirrors , I am sure GM will have all the fluff / fluff in their new 2014 model along with being the strongest / fastest pulling HD on the market being offered.

I think I'll be standing on the Ford side of the fence in 2014. :d

Guess I'll keep my old 2005 FL for many years (and the dash display does what I want i.e. telling me how fast, how hot, pressures, & how much further). Unless I see a great deal on a long nose Pete with 600+ hp, 1850+ tq, dual 6" stove pipe exhausts, & an auto-shift at a great price, then I might be tempted. :ymdevil:

Take it easy Donna! Prices on used Semis are on the rise, I need another economic recession to move on that.

I really like what I have!
