Look dude, if you want to discuss the mertis of the truck then go right ahead. It doesn't have the same effect of making you look like a huge asshole when you assume you know who you're talking to.

Usual response, yeah I was there once, " I used always be right and everybody else is wrong and nobody is gonna tell me what's best ". Some has grown to learn and think back " geesh, I thought I knew it all ". That's exactly what you are now when you resort to personal attack. Later when you aged some more you'll thinks back and say "that was dumb" .

Never once have I said the titan, tundra nor any of the other fullsize truck is the best one out there, I simply pointed out that the f150 wasn't the best because that's subjectively opinions of each individual as what's best in terms of needs. I didn't go out and buy the best truck, I bought the best one that suited my needs. Seems you based the best vehicle on mag reviews.

when did he say that the f150 was the best?? I said that it was the best and I should've said its the best in my opinion. But you are the only one thats been talking trash. and you obviously dont know many truck owners if you think the majority of the (moddahollics) are in their late 20's to late 30's. Try spending some time here in TEXAS and you'll learn who the true truck modders are.

Please tell me what your point to all of this is? Keep your assumptions to yourself as opposed to calling people out. Generalization is ignorance - regardless of what you have seen.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering. People's generalizations about a particular truck might be just as far off as your generalizations about a market group, i.e. Honda's and trucks.

So maybe stop the hypocracy and keep personal attacks outside off of the board or your account will be up for review.

What I think of a group of people has nothing pertaining to personal attacks. Maybe you don't like what I see in general in the age group that I see but tell me how that is personal attack. I never called out any certain individual. Have I called someone names? Have I insulted someone? Have I used any profound language against anyone? When you can't take the heat of debate you resort to threat to my membership. That's sound so mature.

The point was the f150 is not the best truck out there. If it was the best nobody would buy other brands.

Large big cushy cars = older folks
Cushy and moderate sporty = middle age
compacts and sports = younger age

Am I wrong for generalizing these age groups too.

Totally opinionated statement. :ghey: It still doesn't defeat the fact that the F-150 is the best selling pickup truck in North America, and the Nissan sells the least out of all full size pickup truck so far, about 7% of Ford's total sale of the F series trucks.

Are you wrong? All signs point to yes.

And this here quote isn't insinuating that tundra owners don't know anything about trucks.

Best selling has nothing to do with best vehicle. The taurus was best seller for many years yet the accord and camry continuously rank better than it. That's why I said the f150 isn't the best truck out there because it's their opinion of their best truck.

Then why did you even bring up the subject about buying habits? Take fleet sales out of the equation and the Ford truck still outsell the Nissan and Toyota trucks multiple times over.

And wait a sec..."it's their opinion of their best truck"???? Your opinion of a best truck isn't better than the f150 folks. Lay off the elitism.
