I heard from someone that Ford has a hand in building GM's new line of trucks. Is this true?

 

No, I think Ford has a hand in selling the new GM trucks... Since, I won't buy one with those cheesy little doors. If they'd bring back the true regular cab I would love to have a new Ford, especially if they built the concept Lightning...

But to answer your question, I have heard nothing about Ford working with GM on their trucks. GM is usually in cahoots with Izuzu...

 

No, its just that GM copied most of the features the new F-150's have

 

LOL, no they are not. I've been inside the new GM truck plant in Oshawa (Ont) and there are no signs of a Ford truck any where.

 

They wish...

 

Alright. I just heard from someone from a GM dealership that GM went to Ford about the frame or something like that or there were some Ford plants that were building parts of GM trucks.

I found it as odd but he's usually right about vehicle things. He's not a salesman but a mechanic.

 

I believe that someone posted a link to spy photos of the '09 F150, and in the write up there was speculation that Ford would bring back a true regular cab. I'm with you. I would rather have a "regular" regular cab.

If I remeber correctly, Ford and GM did work on a transmission together.

 

I didn't think ford made their own frames.

Ford and GM designed the new 6 speed tranny that is in the Ford Edge together. GM is using it in their GMC Acadia.

 

Toyota did too.
