Re: Which engine do I use....

Wow... this is becoming more like a blog than a thread

Anyways, my friend just told me of a Ford work truck that is just simply abused week after week and just goes in for the odd oil change. Being a 2009 model it hasn't been idle since... day in and day out its moving, hauling sports bikes and their parts and has done well over 100,000 kms on the clock. The interior is shot with scratches and dents and its been in 3 accidents as well.

Inspite of all this abuse the truck just runs... The engine still works the same way that they got it from the dealer with no issues to speak of and they figure it is extremely reliable for that and when asked why not use a Chevy, they said Ford sticks to that slogan.. "Built Tough" and they ain't joking.

Probably a good testimony for Fords, especially over here. They pretty much have quite a bad rep here in Dubai.

Re: Which engine do I use....

I came across this on the Ford site...

F150 EcoBoost Torture Test

Proof of how good Ford's engines are in my opinion....

Does anyone know if a similar video from GM??
