When you come driving up in one of these massive vehicles and someone ask you what you've got under the hood, which would you rather say: A Navistar or An Isuzu? Nuff Said! I've never driven a PSD but I have sampled the Navistar version (T444E) in a 12 ton International school bus (Yes, kids are getting heavy these days!)and it is a great engine. Whips the Cummins ISB's butt in smoothness and reliability. (Ironically, the Cummins engines are in Ford buses.) The PSD and Super Duty are going to be hard to beat.

This list is meaningless. It's a list of "sales" satisfaction, which I assume is talking about the "sales experience" while at the dealership.

I don't give a rip about the "sales experience." I don't care how I feel about the one day that I make the purchase . . I care about how I feel the 5-10 years I own the vehicle.

This list is obviously useless, what with Caddy at the top and rock-solid nameplates like Acura, Toyota, Honda (and Ford) on the "below average" list.

Good point!

 

Wow, even more interesting... in the URL that Doug posted

(http://www.edmunds.com/edweb/editorial/mostwanted/2000.Ford.F150.html)

go take a look at the entire list of most wanted cars and most wanted trucks. Chevy has 1 vehicle in each category, while Ford has 3 in each. Hmmm.

That was a great site about the burb lemon. I was rolling trying not to wake my wife as I was laughing. I can honestly say I've never had problem like those on any of my owned vehicles. Not even used ones.

anytime a manufacturer comes out with a new design it will always get motor trends award. I'm not sure what JD Powers bases theirs off of (I'm sure its the same as MT).
