Default GMC and CHEVY durmax

rekd, i sense some bias there!

Yes the results btwn the GMC brand & Ford would be different and would actually be substantially in Fords favor if you just compared brand to brand but take GM to Ford yes they out sell them... we've already established that GM overall outsells ford - im not disputing that. i did dispute- by the margin. The article says little over 50,000. I dont know where you are from, but here in the south the split is about 50/50 in the number of fords on the road and chevys. as far as mudholes well that can be 50/50 too.

Like i said before im not downing gm, if you read i actually think they have the upper hand, ive owned them before, my fam owns them - good trucks. but we've also owned fords that were good as well...i just like the feel & handling of the chevys better in the chevy vs. ford war.

i can tell you what went wrong with ford. they cut out their quality control under jack nasser to save money. at one time ford was the richest (not largest) car co in the world and thats when they started buying up controlling interest in mazda, volvo, aston martin, land rover to invest the billions in excess cash they had.

remember fords slogan from the 80's? "quality is job 1" well, it was changed when quality was no longer their priority. and now "bold moves"? waht the hell is that? At least "An American Revolution" from chevrolet gets allot more attention that that does. Dont discount marketing in the car business. thats how toyota has duped allot of people...yes i was one of them- i admit it. they look good on paper, but they are way overrated and over priced.

i think i'll be back in a chevy soon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Yes, thats a little biased too!
