Default Next Truck, a Ford? Uh oh.

Well Dealership by my house just got in a new ford raptor in the
light metalic blue. Got to sit in it rev it some pop the hood and do
a good look through an I have to say Im thoroughly impressed.
What a cool truck. Will I be called a traitor for this probably but
let it be known that if I were to buy myself a treat after school
I still would keep the dodge for my hauling toy. Btw Im taking mine
with the new 6.2 V8.

These days it's all about what best fits your needs, regardless of brand.

I grew up with Chevy's, but GM lost me when they started playing the small block shell game like everyone else. Now I'm into the Hemi, so I drive a Dodge. If Dodge starts playing games with the Hemi, maybe the next truck will be a Ford. It'll just depend on what fits at the time.

Personally, I'm not into the Tonka look, but that's just me.

If the truck fits, go for it!

Ha! Found the problem and circled it, that's a new one on me. I'll have to pass that on to my little brother, he's a diehard blue oval guy.

I would rather do a custom truck than buy one.
