Is it true?

Don't ask me..... Whatever you do don't ask me

Did you ever own a Pinto?


I drove one a few times when I was a kid. Parents bought it for my sister to drive but she crashed it in no time

That might have been a life saving crash................. hows THAT for irony?

I thought I was going to die though. She whipped a u-turn right in front of another car and we got t-boned. I was in the back seat and saw it coming

This is exactly what I am talking about. My Dad's half ton Chevy hauled a ton and a quarter (about 30 bales) in the bed, and had a trailer with another 50 bales (2 tons of payload alone) and it did it just fine.

The manufacturer has little to do with it. A leaf spring is a leaf spring. There are differences, but to say Chevy's can't haul as much as a Ford is just ignorant.

I'm not saying anything like that.


I'm saying my dad owned a Chevy 1500 and whenever you went to put something in it it would just flop on down.


I am not putting Chevy down at all, cause obviously they've done something right!

in the car bussines such as i am.i speak from experiance when i say this and yall can flame me all you want.a 1 ton chevy CAN NOT handle a load like a 1 ton ford can.the same between the HD 3500 and the f450 such as mine.i deal with these trucks everyday and a chevy has never held a load like my fords.untill you get into the C50s and up,they are all the same chassis anyways.the older chevy/gmcs broke the frames right above the rear axle and the newer rounded style(early 90s to present)bend the frames right behind the cabs.ever wonder why the GMs had a huge steel plate bolted to both sides of the frame behind the cab?

I had an 87 grand am in high school it went where we wanted the unibody was nice for redneck wheeling since it floated across the mud like a boat when we were going back into the woods.

Car ate CV shafts and alternators, Thank you autozone for the warranty on the stuff. alternators became a 15min job in the parking lot and CV shafts were a 30 min job in the driveway.

Can't say anything bad about the 2.5L 4banger as it was still running strong @ 220k when my little bro sold it.

But I can say that a 4 banger will do 60 on 2 cylinders (core pack went bad) but mileage drops to around 10 mpg and it takes quite a while to get up to speed.
