Nautique in new Ford commercial

I couldn't agree more!
The only thing that could have been better is if the used an F250 Superduty quadcab, but still ok.

Well, then it wouldn't be an F150 commercial...

I have to vote for the F-250 Power Stroke diesel, 150's are like mini vans/SUV's.

Dave,
I go for the retro look as well!

I agree. I was thinking the only thing that would have made it a better ad is if there was a nice retro boat, like Alan/Reid's 81 or something like that.

Actually, they dont! No such thing as a new Dodge pickup anymore.

Somebody said Dodge?

LOL

Ok Alan, here's your next quest. You need a Chrysler with a hemi of course to pull that Hurricane!

1955 Imperial:

Alan,
Here's something that's slightly more on the HD side! However it won't have the hemi in it.

1955 Dodge truck:



Peter,
You don't like the looks of old Dodge trucks? My very first vehicle was a 1960 Dodge Powerwagon. I got it when I was out living in Montana. Man, chain up all four and that thing would climb!!! 60 was the last year they used a flathead 6 in the 4WD's.

Doug, that's a beautiful boat. If I was going to do build-a-boat, that's exactly how it would come out.

Alan, thats it. Perfect. 4 years after lake george and my son still comments on your boat as a stand-out.

Peter, sometimes changes with age, sometimes always there. When I was a poverty stricken grad student, my car died, I bought one of these for $300. Not quite as nice as this one, but roadworthy.




The flat head 6 blew up on me so I replaced it with a junk yard flathead 8. Cool motors, always liked those since then. Actually lasted a little while. I eventually sold it, and of course wish I still had it. Couldnt touch one of these for 20 times that now.

couldn't have said it better Joel......

Giggity.

yea but, they don't go all the way, normally just to about 80k miles right?

Exactly, but i also was talking about any year dodge, or ram... well at least someone agrees with me!

I fail to understand your logic with the milage?? Dodge doesn't make the diesel engine. They have to buy it from Cummins. That should tell you something but it obviously didn't sink in!!???

One of or tool makers here has 385,000 on a Cummins - of course the rest of the Dodge truck is a piece of s*** and falling apart!

I personally have 275,000 on my 1995 GM diesel!
