| Description: |
The 2009 Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram are rolling onto the market like a pair
of gigantic craps dice, and the companies tossing them are each betting big on
this game.Unfortunately, the rules changed while these dice were in mid-air.
Fuel prices skyrocketed, the economy tanked, consumer confidence evaporated, and
folks who once chose half-ton pickups more for their
Marlboro-Man-image-enhancing qualities than for their towing or hauling
capabilities are shopping elsewhere.Ford claims it sells more of its half-ton pickups to work and commercial
customers than its competitors do, and Ford predicts this segment will grow to
45 percent of F-150 sales. Toward that end, the truck's fully boxed chassis is
further fortified to provide best-in-class rigidity, payload capacity (up to
3030 pounds), and tow ratings (up to 11,300 pounds). As such, the new F-150 is
well positioned to capture contractors migrating down-market out of Super-Dutys
to save money and gas . |
