What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[joesregalproject]

I said I would never buy one. I said you would never wheel a stock F150 that 95% of people buy. I claimed to know this from experience.



I said they were comparable to an SUV, get under a TBSS, Explorer, Durango, Tahoe, Land Cruiser etc... I'm not completely wrong. Tiguan and Rav 4 are compact SUV, technically, but sure if you want to throw them in. good times. Care based crossovers like Compacts are a little different, so I am wrong about that, you got me there.



Anyway, your definition of work is different than mine. I would say we used these vehicles to capacity and find the edges of capability, They are an essential tool than cannot be replaced by an SUV. The work being completed is irrelevant to the tool's usage, and we use them (sometimes abuse). With that knowledge I would not spend my money on a modern F150, the limits just aren't as far as a Chevy or 3/4 or 1 ton, they just aren't as tough and going to the dealer every 4 to 6 months for repair isn't reliable for a work vehicle. Sorry....

I could argue this in perpetuity but I won't. My point is I hate when people make entirely subjective blanket statements like-

they just aren't as tough

Ford is the worst

The new alumi-trucks, are more like modern car based SUV's.

That's why I'm taking you to task over it.

So just because one model of truck in one person's experience didn't hold up in your opinion to having the piss beat out of them in an oilfield, it means they aren't a work truck and they are on the same level as a Rav4? I know I'm biased here but your argument is utterly asinine.

Match the work to the truck. Just because you needed a 1/2" breaker bar to get your lug nuts off doesn't mean a 3/8" ratchet is junk and the exact same as a 1/4" ratchet.

That... or you are just in an unusually shitty mood.

Too soon, man.

Probably.

Too soon, man.

The fact that it is other people's sh*t makes it so much worse.

Lol ok, I still wont buy one, you still aren't going wheeling in a stock F150 successfully either. Sorry about your bad day.

Ya I saw, hopefully arguing on the internet wth a stranger about vehicle manufacturers helped you vent.
