Which vehicle is really "Ford Tough" when it counts?

Toyota wins, hands down.


I think my F-250 is pretty tough..... I bet it could smash any toyota :)

I agree Hang. I've got a 92 F-150 with the 351/auto w/overdrive in it. Can pull a 19' boat up I-5 at 70 MPH in 100 degree heat with the air conditioner on full blast and the temp gauge stays steady at bout 185. 110k miles on it, and when it dies I plan on getting another one. My wife's car is a 95 Taurus we bought new 8 years ago. We have 200,000 + miles on it and only had to replace the heater core and a radiator fan in 8 years. We'll be trading it in for a new Taurus as soon as this one finally dies- if it ever does.
