I drove Ford for 38 years and just short of HALF a MILLION miles, Last one, '96 F-250 diesel I kept 24 years and 305,000 miles. Bought a new truck just shy of 3 years ago, a '18 RAM 1500 4WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8 -spd ZF auto trans, quad cab, short rear doors. Towing package. I don't drive it a lot, but I smile every time I get in it. Towed a 6x12 enclosed U-Haul tandem trailer 5-6 months ago, 6000-7000#, 70-75 mph up and down hills in western WISCONSIN, held 75 up every hill, just dropped a couple gears, never over half throttle the whole 300 mile trip. Took it on a 1000 mile weekend 2 months ago. Bucked head wind & rain all the way west, 16 mpg @ 65-70mph. Drove 70-75 mph home I-90 east bound, drafted a nearly identical truck part way, 20+ mpg! SON drove a '19 F150 with 3.5L Eco-Boost for a week while his '18 Mustang GT got a new manual trans, says it really ran hard. Wife's little 2.0L 4 cyl EcoBoost in her '15 Edge runs like a much bigger V-6 or V-8. Had a 3.5L non-turbo V-6 Edge for 4-5 months before the one we have now, Wife called it a gutless dog. It was. Unless you floored it, got the tach reading 6000 rpm, it wouldn't go. Anyhow, 3 recalls on my RAM for silly things, rides nice, great brakes, never had a Ford pickup stop like this RAM. Only changes I'd want are to have a block heater and a locking rear axle. And I got used to an 8 ft bed with my F250, might want another regular cab long box.
Oh, Didn't GM switch to aluminum bodys a year or two ago? They stopped the stupid commercials dropping bricks and blocks into truck beds. So actual 3 brands of aluminum bodied trucks, Ford, Chevy, GMC. GMC's look O-K but some Chevies are HIDEOUSLY UGLY. Would not be caught dead in them.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction,
