Rockpick,
Great article, great pictures, well organized document. I am very fond of my 07' F150, I am glad to be a Ford owner. I am glad Ford seems to be reversing previous trends, especially Quality, and "Want-ability".
However, red flags flew when reading your article. Now my pessimistic side will show. This smells funny. So I'm forced to ask a few critical questions:
1. What is your trade or occupation? As I read the article, how it was laid out, the structure, grammar, and abundance of descriptive adjectives made me wonder.
2. Who took all the pictures? They look great, high res., nice backgrounds, almost posed pictures. Did Ford provide these, if not, what kind of Camera was used?
3. How did you remember so much detail? Did you take notes, or did Ford provide brochures and technical data?
4. How many other participants were at the "Ride and Drive Event"? Do you know any of their backgrounds or occupations?
4. Did Ford always use the model that was "ideal" for the 'modules’?
5. Did they provide any models or displays of their "test" vehicles for viewing or driving? They test drive these new models a substantial amount before, pre-release events, like your "Ride and Drive". How have the seats held up after 100k. What does an FX4 ride like after 100 trips through the Cattail bog?
6. How many hours did it take your to prepare this document, did anyone else assist you in the writing, or editing?
Sorry, to be the "Fart in Church". I am a die-hard Ford Truck Fan. I hope the new F150 rocks. I like most aspects of what Ford is doing to advance the F150 brand to the next level. The design, inside and out, model line up, colors, interior layout, quality. I think their marketing has even stepped up. The ads have been great, IMHO.
I don't ask these questions to smear, or flame. But your writing and presentation seemed too polished, posed, and staged.
Thanks for reading my humble opinion and questions.
Respectfully,
-Tung
PS- In the interior picture "Platinum Edition with navigation" what is located on the A-pillar?
