LOL.

Now, come on - Ford trucks are pretty good. I'd consider one if I were in
the market for a truck.

I generally avoid companies who've previously sold me products that were
intentionally made defective. I violated my rule once with Ford. I won't do
it a second time unless they give me the product for free, and pay me a
hefty aggravation bonus any time it had what I considered to be a stupid
problem. $1000.00 per incident would be about right.

Where did you find the gear ratios for the above trucks and do you have them
for the Nissan Titan? Did you ever see a Dodge Mega Cab 1500? The 06 is a
full 3/4 ton truck disguised as a 1/2 ton.

Just wondering....
