Nice to see it used instead of immediately being scrapped.

A diesel box truck, maybe.

Why won't Toyota bring this to America?!?!?! How much does Jeep lobby the DOT to prevent this?

Their interior was bad, but with the exception of some transmissions, they weren't that unreliable. Think GM products with less recalls.

Hurr durr, something Charger drift car, hurr durr. Hurr durr, oversteer life, hurr durr.

Never personally had one, but have heard some stories.

And also why when people change them for larger, freer flowing ones they get more power, better reliability because of lower egt's, and better fuel economy. Ford, no matter how good the engine, leaves head scratching amounts meat left on the bone. It's almost as if they say "Someone will change this anyways, why…

Except they have been doing ovals for a while now, and it doesn't flow well at all.

They are reliable with the rest of the truck. Actually more so, it lowers egt's. It's just louder and amplifies induction noise. I personally believe, because of evidence, Ford designed this to get around the fact that they can't fit a bigger down pipe due to space restrictions they designed themselves. They are known…

This is a down pipe, not an up pipe. See the turbo, that is the back of the engine. I know it has nothing to do with fluid dynamics. Ford just designs their engine compartments so people will absolutely have to get work done at the dealership. It's a well known fact that bigger down pipe=more air flow=more power. Ford…

The aftermarket figures this out years ago. Good job Ford! When you install a bigger down pipe, the woosher makes more whoosh more quickly.

Clearly you have never looked at houses in a rural area in the Southeast (sans Atlanta area).

And that is why I use Toyotas.

While somewhat true, things like gears somehow rusting in the transmission are not parts added by the owner.

Doesn't matter if they are lifted are not, 90% of the time if there is a kid in it under the age of 10, it is sitting in the front seat or in the drivers lap. Teenagers don't seem to drive F-series trucks around here, with the exception of older models.

Don't forget about it falling apart when the owner decides to use it for what it was "built for".

Ford F-series for me. Farmers all seem to have them and they don't believe in safety equipment, apparently.

Really, Chrysler isn't in that much trouble. Once the emissions standard change in 2017(?), we will be able to get a lot of European diesels and other cars in general, therefore Chrysler can just bring over little Fiat's and be in the clear.

My Dad parked his at over 300k miles and it was still running like a top. Just everything that needed done other than the engine, convinced him he needed to get a new daily driver. It's still sitting in our back yard in Alabama, like it has been for the past 7 years.

Why can't they do one fucking truck (not including base model) without any chrome? They have a ridiculous chrome fetish.
