Dnyce... sorry... got caught up a bit...

For me... its simple.

A true american truck is a Ford, Chevy (or GMC), Dodge. PERIOD. I can't back this side of my arguement up with facts, stats, or anything. Its an attitude. I'm sure that its not only a Detroit thing but a loyality thing. But not just loyality... its attitude and the idea of history.. its hard to explain.

Ok.. muscle cars. Sure there are Super Cars from all over the world. But when you think of "muscle cars"... what do you think of? Cameros, Mustangs, Chevelles, old school novas and impallas. You don't think of Lambo's, Ferraris, or Supras.

Same goes for "trucks". You think of that blue oval, bow tie or rams horns.


Dlit... but that mentality is why many people that work at "BLANK" dealerships and see the broken down vechicles say their CRAP. Cause that is all they see. It taints your POV.

My last F150 in the 3 years I owned it. Took it to the dealership twice. Once for a software update due to engine light. Second time for new clutch plates in the rear end. That is it... 3 years. The old ideas and thoughts on American junk are long gone. Same goes for the Harley Davisons. HD's are "turn key". They are an American built Honda.
