OBAMATRUCK VS FORD
Most people who buy pickups buy them for working and they don’t like handouts nor those who beg for them.
GM used to produce the GMC Sonoma and its Chevrolet equivalent, a small pickup that sold in large numbers.
They stopped in favor of the large pickups with a higher profit margin.
Now you can’t buy a small pickup anywhere.
That’s what happens when businesses are run by MBAs and lawyers, rather than auto men.
It's just so hard to decide.
Because truck buyers generally work for a living.
Because trucks are expensive.
Because if you’re going to work for a living, and make an investment in a vehicle, you want to make a good choice.
Because we’re the opposite of all things big government.
Because we should be able to get an inexpensive truck from a company that we supposedly own.
I haven’t seen anything that would indicate that GM has pulled out of its death spiral. Get rid of the UAW. What’s the worst that could happen.....you go bankrupt? You already did.
GM Dealers Say Low Demand and F150, Not Lack of Supply Explain Poor Truck Sales.
There corrected :)
Ford just makes a better product.
Ford or foreign
Higher health insurance premiums equals less money for the average American to spend on a new truck payment. GM should expect things to get worse for them as our new healthcare system kicks in.
I will never buy a GM or Chrysler product again. Never. Ever.
Bought my first Ford earlier this year. F150 King Ranch.
Will not support Government Motors and the Orwellean Spyware they call 'OnStar'.
Yeah, maybe your manufacturer should have taken bankruptcy instead of letting zero screw the investors AND the taxpayers! And, maybe zero shouldn't have tried turning GM into VW like Hitler did. And, maybe GM should have paid back ALL of the money they got from the taxpayers instead of going on TV and lying about how they paid it all back.
Payback's a biatch!!
Simple:
The price of a popular Silverado model — a four-wheel-drive crew cab with a 5.3-liter engine in the All Star package — is $43,005 after factoring in incentives, GM says, while the comparable 2013 F-150 model, a 4wd XLT Super Crew with an EcoBoost engine, is $40,385 after incentives.
Sorry, gubmit motors...you built excrement, and then joined purveyers of excrement when you accepted gubmit money.
FUGM.
Take your trucks, cars, and stocks and shove ‘em up your smelly collective Obamaholes.
GM could offer them at half price and I would not consider even stopping by to look.
I come from a family that always bought GM.
Aside from the fact that the “family brand”, Pontiac, no longer exists, our 00 Sierra was and is the last GM vehicle I’ll own. I’ll keep it running for as long as I can or until the typical GM rust consumes it.
I recently bought a used Ranger. An 87. Emission testing excempt. Nice little truck, far lest rust than the Sierra, still pretty simple to work on despite the EFI and 4x4. Manual everything. I expect it will outlast the Sierra even though it has 13 more years on it.
I bought my first new vehicle in 1976 (I was 23). It was an F150 4x4 with the V8 and a four speed tranny, had the dealer put on white spoke wheels with big meats and the price was around $6500. Price have risen slightly over the years.
