FCA is so inept, one could very well write a high rated sitcom on the company and their " 5yrs Plan ".

FCA also scored emission credits from Toyota and Honda. In total FCA bought 8.2 million megagrams of them for 2014 ( 2015 tallies come out in a month or so ).

Why do you want me to list of disadvantages, when you too, in your first sentence, agree to my only concerns - tow and payload. I agree. Comparing the ZR2's capabilities to a full size is silly.

I am being realistic. Like the Raptor, this truck is for posers and Urban Cowboys

Raptor suck too at being a pick up Just not as bad as this thing.

Base mdl ZR2 with no option has a payload off 1100lbs ( my old 2001 Ranger SC had a payload of just over 1500lbs and 5600lbs tow rating ) and tow rating of 5000lbs....Add crew Cab and options and both those plummet. Yikes.

One thing I really like about the 2017 Super Duty line is this... Fully boxed frame for the pick ups, whereas the chassis cabs get C-Channel from the cab back. Makes for easier aftermarket accessories. Like Tow/Flat Bed Truck, Cube Van, Bucket Trucks etc installation

OMG... This surprised me... " We were far more impressed with the performance of the F-350 dual-rear-wheel diesel. Despite weighing in at 8,643 pounds—15 pounds heavier than the Ram 3500 dual-rear-wheel diesel—the F-350 returned an outstanding 16.3/20.5/18.0 mpg city/highway/combined. Excellent in its own right, the F-350’s result is all the more impressive compared against the Ram 3500 dually’s 13.3/17.3/14.8 result. Did we mention class-leading torque and towing/payload capability? " For such a brute, that mileage is remarkable!

The 2017 Ford F-150 – the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever – introduces an updated powertrain lineup with the debut of its all-new 3.5-liter EcoBoost® and Ford-built 10-speed automatic. The powertrain provides 50 lb.-ft. more peak torque, and features improvements across all three EPA fuel economy ratings – city, highway and combined – of 1 mpg over the 2016 model. Also new for the 2017 F-150 is the return of the STX Appearance Package bundling numerous exterior and interior features that aren’t normally available to give F-150 customers a great value truck. For comfort and convenience, BLIS® with cross-traffic alert now includes trailer coverage, while SYNC® Connect with FordPass® allows drivers to lock, unlock and locate their vehicle remotely. Customers can also schedule starts and check the fuel level remotely via the FordPass smartphone platform.

Focus RS for me. The rest I wouldn't even consider. ( STI is plain ugly, EVO is discontinued, and flat out don't trust VW's )

Tells you how much thought and value I put in Motor Trend OTY Awards then.

I notice a contender for the COTY was the FCA Pacifica. I can't recall a Mini Van ever being in this category before.

The truth will come out. But man. Lying about sales. Now this. FCA is " deplorable ".

" Chrysler is now the first United States-based carmaker to be sued for allegedly skewing emissions results. In a move that sounds eerily similar to the troubles of European manufacturers, Chrysler is claimed to have hid diesel engine characteristics causing emissions as much as 14 times higher than permitted by regulations.

Thanks for the pat on the back.

Is it either or for your 3 criterias? As in does one need to have 1000 posts, AND have been a member for more than 6 months AND have a positive rep of more than 100 to qualify?

In the 2000 Presidential Election of Bush vs Gore Bush - 50,456,002 47.87% Gore - 50,999,897 48.38% *opps. This was meant for Ccap

Your son is wise beyond years.

I about spat my coffee out when I saw this picture. Its hilarious looking

Obama/Clinton and their reckless Foreign Policy that has destabilized many parts of this globe are being put to rest, is music to this planets ears.

How about a Rapotized EcoSport?

I think it's ironic. The progressives who constantly questioned whether Trump would accept the results of the election, don't accept the results of the election. It appears they only like democracy when it goes their way.
