For the third generation, Ford started its tradition of distinguishing the two types of pickup boxes; the traditional separate-fender body was called FlareSide, while a new smooth-sided look was known as StyleSide. natox anti wrinkle cream

What I want is a really small 2 person tricycle with a little gas engine on it that gets 150 miles per gallon.

I'm not surprised. Have you any idea the mileage on the trucks these days? A sedan is a much better choice for us little people. Ford News was crushed on that.

I’m sick and tired of liberals bad mouthing US Car companies and complaining about outsourcing of jobs. If you want Americans to have jobs, then buy American products. I have two fords; escort and an F-150 (117,000 mi and 85,000 mile respectively and never in the shop other than an oil change) If you haven’t noticed GM sell 6x cars at 30+ mpg each. Have you ever heard of the Toyota Tundra? It’s a truck. A big truck. I’m going to buy a brand new F-150 -4-door this week, because gas prices will be $2.00 gallon by Feb 09 and at this discount that I can buy the F150, I can pay for the $4 gallon gas for nearly 2-years. Do the math.

DEREK SAID:

"The (useless) Unions are driving up prices, causing the consumers to pay a higher cost. Our US Govt has no TEETH w OPEC. Time to start charging the GULF countries for our BLOOD, SWEAR, TEARS or pull out NOW. They are Making Zillions off us while building DUBAI Stop being so dependent on foriegn OIL and start producing our own. BUY AMERICAN products not CHINA JUNK."

Oh please....blood, sweat, and tears....you guys set up the Gulf industries...you guys funded the oil drilling, you guys have your hands up Saudi asses so far that I can't believe you can honestly think they work independently...how naive are you?

They are making zillions? How about the US corporations who are running the show over there? How much are THEY making? You want to be oil independent? Stop wasting 25% of the world's resources when you are only 5% of the world's population. Don't drive your retarded 8 passenger SUVs. Don't make them in the first place. Buy American? Really? Then your precious Targets, Walmarts, and what not will seize to exist. Then you won't be able to fill up your American made POS Expedition with all the junk you just bought from Costco to take back to your pathetic, wasteful 4000sqft McMansion.

Stop blaming others and look in the mirror and realize YOU are the problem.

When I was in college in the '60s, there were two choices in the USA for car buyers ... if you wanted a nice LARGE car, you bought American ... if you wanted a nice SMALL car, you bought English or German. ( by nice, I mean well equipped, radio, heater, leather, a/c, etc.)

When the first oil shortage hit in 1973, Americans discovered SMALL cars that also were well equipped ... and economical. These nice and small cars now included Japanese cars.

Detroit answered by making some smaller versions of their junk ... giving us smaller junk. A new 1974 Ford Pinto was good for about 16 to 25 mpg. A Chevy Vega lasted about 40,000 miles.

It's gas crunch time again and what is Detroit doing? Selling lots of little cars ... made in Japan or Korea or someplace else. Selling big cars, trucks, and SUVs ... made in USA ... NOT!

Americans are speaking very loudly with their checkbooks ... anybody in Detroit listening?

Stupid American car companies making cars for us to buy. Stupid oil countries selling oil to us so we can drive the stupid cars we buy. Stupid government letting the stupid oil countries and stupid car companies treat us so bad.
Stupids, its allways their fault!

Skeptic,

I was one of those people who thought I *needed* or *must have* a pickup/SUV because all my friends had them. I stopped the cycle by buying a utility trailer and used it for moving kids to several colleges over a ten year time period. Trailers are cheap to own and operate compared to owning and operating a pickup.

There is/was a pioneering culture being marketed and sold to the American public in the form of 4WD SUVs and pickups. Now we will witness the relenting advertising campaign of being “GREEN”. I saw that Ford is making “Green” foam rubber in their seats! Who cares? What does Joe-Public really want? GAS MILEAGE EFFICIENCY balanced with safety!

BTW - I had an 86 station wagon and now a 98 station wagon for towing. Big moving projects are done by U-Haul. Also if I need to deliver LARGE project materials to my house, Home Depot rents a truck for $20 (GREAT DEAL). Next car will undoubtedly be a Prius/hybrid but I can’t justify the buckaziods to upgrade my 98 SW just yet.
