Verizon laid off 44,000. Now Ford. This one they are blaming the tariffs.

    Verizon continues to provide the best customer service and best reception in the cell phone industry. However, as more and more towers get put in, Verizon's coverage advantage is diminishing. It's getting less and less practical to pay the higher cost of Verizon for less and less added benefit.

    Ford's vehicles tend to be less reliable, and their F-series trucks are embarrassingly overpriced. Ford trucks used to be great, but then they discontinued the 7.3 liter in 2003. Ram now has a better diesel engine and are about $10k less than a similar sized Ford.

    It's not hard...

    I bought a new truck a while back. I like diesels. He's right the Ford was substantially more than the Ram I bought. I'm usually a Chevy guy but the mega cab and the Cummins motor are a hell of a combo.

    Other than the fact the Cummins is slower and gets less mileage than Chevy and Ford.

    We finally agree on something. I like diesels too. Fuck anyone who does not.

    But I have a thing against Dodge/Kreisler. It stems from the old days when they were known to be the coldest starting sum bitches on the market. Irrational, I know. But brand loyalty/hatred is a bitch. First impressions and all.

    It's safe to say I will likely never own a Dodge ever.

    I'm not trying to take people off the line, and I still get 20 mpg right now, which is the same gas mileage I got in my Tacoma, so I'm happy. Good luck getting cylinder work done on a newer Ford, unless you like having to lift the entire cab.

    Nope. Better mileage than my non smog duramax LB7. 20 to 22mpg highway rolling 80. It does have 3.42's not 3.73's.
