  • Ford makes the best trucks. Period!

  • ford was ask a direct question as to why they didn't box the superduty frame. read this.

    "the boxed frame design was intended for ride comfort and the f150 is the truck for that. the superduty is our work truck, a boxed frame, though strong and rigid, has a higher chance to crack around the welds if loaded with too much weight. an open c channel frame is more able to bare the weigh because the less rigidness of a c channel frame can absorb the distortion."
