Kink of the hill?????

King of the hill?????

I see on Pickuptrucks.com that the new 6. 0 liter Ford is king of the hill in tests run verses Dodge and Chevy. Who the hell wants a hill anyway. I'll keep my Dodge and stay with the flat land. bg

Who gives a rat's A$$ about being "king of the hill. " We all know who is the King of the mountain.

I think we should give the new powerstroke credit where credits due. But, I think we should give it a year and then see how well it is holding up and that also holds true for our gen 3 cummins. Let us not forget that a powerstroke is not a ferd engine but an International powerplant. No, it isn't a Cummins but it's not to shabby either. At least some overseas company did not have a hand in it.

Are they King of the Top of the Hill or King of the Bottom?

I think it is all in advertisement. They could have a sale in Alaska for air conditioners but this time of year I don't think many would buy one no matter the price. (I am definately not saying anything bad about Alaska or the residents, I just no it is cold up there. )

I wonder if the dodge REALLY was an HO... . I would tend to think not... . but what do I know.

That article was actually done by Western Diesel. I'm not sure if they are biased or not but the whole article itself was pretty interesting. Notice the weight difference between the Ford and Dodge. They should add another 739 pounds to the Ford on the 15% grade test to make them all weigh the same. That is a big weight advantage.

Speaking of Car ads.

What is GM's point with the Harley Earl ads? Maybe 50% of the population knows who Harley Earl was?

I can see some young dude saying, "Harley Earl"? "O'yeh, that's that cranky drill instructor on that TV show Mail Call".

Truth is.

The truth is that Harley got most of his ideas from europes car designers. They just needed some kind of gimick.....
