Ford WTF

I'm shopping for a SUV for the gf and we're leaning towards the GMC Terrain. (as well as the Veracruz and Highlander). The Ford SUVs aren't even on my radar.

(as well as the Veracruz and Highlander). The Ford SUVs aren't even on my radar. A portion of that, admittingly, is marketing. The GMC commercials are much more product-based than the Ford commercials, imo. The F-150 commercials are kinda catchy, but that's it for me.

As far as Cadillac, I'm an EXT guy. Possibly the top of my "dream cars". Though, I'll probably settle for an Avalanche in another 2-3 years.

ok its not a SUV but the ford raptor has caught my eye as being a truck that looks to be off-road racing ready

^That Raptor looks great. I hate Fords (former escort and taurus owner) and I would rock that truck in a heartbeat.

Next time I'm in the market for a truck I will definitely shop the Raptor if it's still around.

My Ford days are over. Too many brake rotor changes (I'm not hard on brakes at all), too many really stupid problems with the last two Ford trucks I've owned. They may be improving quality, but it's too late for me.

Mattie, if gasoline goes back to $4.50/gal, will you still buy a full-size truck? OK, get the Hybrid...................

If gas goes back up to $4.50 a gallon, I'll be getting my motorcycle license.

Ya but you'll mod the schitt out of it and get 25 mpg

PS - my BMW gets 32mpg combined, never even checked the MV mileage numbers but I'd guess prolly around 35mpg...I tend to wick 'em up though

When I get a bike, I'll probably stick with a plain-jane R6 or something. ~40 mpg, I think. Something to get me 2 miles to work for about 4 months on 1 tank.
