Something like this. ^

 

Whats sad is he only has 6 post and it seems like I have got into with him more than that about the POS Tundra. He really only comes on here to start flame wars and, as always, has nothing to better the F-150 community.

 

If nothing else, he does bring some entertainment value to these forums

 

True, as I look back Daves drunken post and the Tundra bashing threads are my all time favorites

 

Trucks have came a long way in crash tests.

F150 crash test video.

Did Toyota even make a full sized truck back then?

 

Yep, they had the T100.

 

The biggest flop of all time? Thanks for the reminder...

 

My point was that the video posted was a tad bit old. If you're going to post a vid at least post an up to date vid.

Next he'll be posting vids of Pinto's blowing up after being rear ended.

 

I think the fuel door stayed open on the ford. Thats 1 for ford and 0 or Toyota. Grow some ***** and buy a Ford. End of Statement.

 

The irony in this thread is hilarious. Before I go on, let me state that I have owned nothing but Fords and still do. ( well my first car was a 72 olds ) So please spare me the "well why don't you just go buy a Tundra" statement.

Come on guys, you can come up with better excuses than these. Just a few comments


1. Who cares about the fuel door or bed frame in the testing. The whole idea is for passenger safety, and unless the bed of the truck folds itself into the cab of the truck harming the occupants. Who cares.

2. The comment about the F150 not being tested because it's not a new model, well neither is an 08 Tundra.

3. What would happen if the Tundra got rear ended? Probably the same thing if any other 1/2 ton does. Unless it's a semi or a bigger vehicle and then your riding on luck. Oh wait, the weak tailgate, right.......

4. The comment on stability control taking precendence over crash safety. Well, if that feature, ( stability contol ) can help prevent a collision or impact in the first place I say it ranks up very high in importance.
Is this even an option in the F150?

I can't wait to hear why side curtain airbags aren't very important but how the weak tailgates and transmissions seem to be more of an issue instead of saving a life or two....

Carry on....

What exactly makes you think the Toyota is better? 1 reccoendation? What about the fact the Ford does better in about every crash test rating catagory

 

Was it you who posted these links before?

I would think the IIHS is a pretty good recommendation over internetautoguide.

Where did I state the Toyota is better?

 

yes I posted links last time, but from a different source.
It was recommended partly because of its traction control.
We were discussing f-150 v Toyota. You mentioned the Yota could save a life or two, thats implying its better than the Ford

 

I would still take my Ford over that Tundra.

I also won't buy a vehicle with ESP or ESC... bunch of garbage. More crap that people like me can't fix without buying $10,000 ECU readers...

In fact, if I did buy a vehicle with electronic stability gunk, I would tell the dealer to turn it off before handing me the keys. I know how to drive, thank you.
