I watched the video clips last night and for the most part they were informational. It was funny how everything that Toyota made for thier trucks was much smaller than compared to Ford.

It takes a truck like the new F150 to stay #1. I couldn't believe how small all the other trucks parts and structures were.

There's an ad running on radio in Canada by Dodge that says "if your not driving a Ram, then your not driving a truck!" After seeing how flimsy their body structure is, it makes me appreciate my F150 all the more!

By the time I finished watching all the clips, I was even more proud to own an F150!

First time I saw those clips. What a huge difference in build quality, simply amazing. How lucky we are to be driving a 04 F150!

That deserves a GIANT nanner

I think those clips pretty much proved to me why I'm such a Ford truck fan. I was really impressed with the quality build of these trucks compared to others.

Not that I didn't already know it, but that Toyota is a POS.

It's amazing that Chevy expects their truck to tow 9500 lbs. with an under frame mounted hitch and a C channel frame!

I MUCH prefer the setup Ford uses on the F150. That hitch is attached in so many places, you'd have to lose the rear third of the truck before the trailer let go.

THAT'S how you build the #1 truck!

I just watched a segment on the world news where the wheels on the Durango's are literally falling off. Chrysler-Dahmelier (sp)
is suppose to respond to the U.S. Governments demand for a recall by monday. They said it could cost them hundreds of millions of $$$$$.

Glad I have a Ford.

I know the Durango is not a truck, but I would guess the suspension is close to the Rams.

Wow, I knew there was some major differences, but that is amazing. Gives new meaning to "Built Ford tough".
