    New one did, I think it was a contract, for Mobil may be, found out they can sell diesel and ethanol free and that's it!

    What's interesting is that the 2018 ford 5.0 with the 10 speed gets the same mpg as the etorque hemi. All it uses is dual FI, and the 10 speed, but its not like the 8 speed is a dinosaur in the ram.

    Well what was the offer, just wanting you to trade up does not mean they have deals!! Haha.

    I get flyers from our toyota dealership all the time. I hAve NEVER bought a new or even used vehicle there!! Their body shop has repaired 2 of my yotas though.

    Yes, Ford has very aggressive rebates right now. Ram is aggressive too though on their 2019.

    On another note, my wood cutting buddy is moving up from his 98 4.6 f150 to a 20112 5.0 f150.

    Every time Chevy releases a new truck design it is fugly. Every forum I’m on and the people I talk with don’t like it at all. Yet, Chevy either keeps the same design team or hires like minded design engineers. If it was a winning combination they wouldn’t be getting rid of 15K employees.

    I'm not sure what's up with that because the GMCs always look nice...you'd think there would be somebody who either works on both brands or at least has some level of approval.

    Chevys are just getting progressively uglier. Actually, all trucks are getting uglier. I've always loved F150's looks, but now they just look "over done". Too much crap, too many lines, too many curves. Bring back the old square body, please.

    It takes me years to like a new GM body. But the one I don't think I will ever like is the one with the butterfly headlight and the tiny looking tires on the HD.
