Builder,

I believe there is a big difference between what is going on at GM and Ford. Nobody is questioning that Ford has it's issues, but to compare them to GM and how they have been taken over by the government isn't fair. I'm sure that everyone remembers when the CEO's of the big three flew to DC to get some free bailout money, and were treated like children for not having a plan for the money. After that, Ford did what I admire, they said no to it and went back to trying to make their company profitable. Borrowing money from whoever they can get it is all part of business. The same is true with accepting grants and building the cars that the government requires of them. It's all a mess that's been created by those in Washington, but made worse by greed, poor decisions and lousy products. Of the big 3, Ford is the only one that I will consider buying in the future. I'm currently looking for a work van and maybe a duelly one ton flat bed.

What amazed me in the original post and the numbers of trucks sold is how few Toyota and Nissan sold. I see allot of those trucks around here, and just assumed that they were selling well everywhere. My wife and I did take a look at the Nissan, but didn't care for it. I haven't been in the Toyota, but have admired their cars and smaller SUV's.
