Whooohoo! Big honk’n f150 truck for the proletariat, f150 gaining market share.

Since it launched its redesigned F-150 in October, Ford said its share of full-size pickup sales has increased 5 percentage points to 35.4% of the market.[^]

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman35.4% of a shrinking market, hopefully. I like 4WDs (SUV) - for thse that use them properly, if it ain't got scratches down the side it ain't being used properly, take the poor bloody things out of the city for once.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh ShermanFunny, I own a Prius and a pickup truck. It's nice to sit in a car with all the cool features the Prius has, and it's nice to spend less on gas. It's also good to have a truck when you need one for something more than covering up for various perceived inadequacies.

I hope like hell you don't live in a large city and the poor things get dirty every now and then. Personally I'd prefer a Tesla, but then I'm a city dweller.

Running a car on laptop batteries is just plain wrong. A 307 in a big honk'n pickup truck is rightoues, and fast enough.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh ShermanI remember learning how to drive a stick shift on an old F-150 my late father named "Bertha." The seat adjustment was gone, along with most of the springs in the driver's seat (my dad was a big man). Even at 5'9" when I had to shift, I had to move my butt to the edge of the seat and literally dip down to the point I could not see the road to shift. Then I'd pop up again. Quite funny to the rural neighbors.

My father and I went to by my f150 21 years ago, (when I was young), although I knew how to drive a manual by that time, it was a new experience to drive with a 2 foot shifter with 5 forward gears. Great to see the old "Bertha"'s are still popular and helping Ford kick some PC little car ass.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh ShermanIt died a number of years ago and I know the newer F-150's are NOTHING like the tanks they used to make. I need to buy a pickup for hauling stuff; I scan for them in the classifieds every so often. I drive a little Saturn for my 30 mile a day round trip to work. Still American and gets great mileage so I can't complain. I still feel more comfortable in a pickup. When I first bought the Saturn I felt so weird being that close to the ground!

Ok I'm astonished you haven't run across it, there should be a franchise opportunity in Oz for these things. This is the only car I would spend serious money on, normally I have limited interest in cars, get from A to B in reasonable comfort is all. Tesla[^]

With any luck, we'll be saying the same thing about gas-powered vehicles in a not-too-distant future.

I'll agree with you when an electric car can go 100mph and 500miles on a single refuel and carry a ton of firewood.

100k($US) for a car that runs on lithium laptop batteries, has limited range, can't carry firewood, bicycles, bricks, lumber, and can't accommadate a rack for 30 odd 6.

Seats 2, 3 in the middle in a pinch-just like a sports car, (except for the executive cab which seats 6), carries lots of pets, supplies, firewood, wood pellets, tools.

100 mph... a legal speed limit? I can only dream. Until then, it's a moot point. 500 miles on a single refuel means that the range is 250 miles, correct? I believe the Tesla can do 220 miles so it's almost there. Unfortunately it takes a while for it to recharge and it can't carry a ton of anything. It's a start though.
