Ford or Dodge, Which One Should You Choose?
Ford vs dodge, something that people do all the time. Take two trucks and try to prove that one is better than the other. There are people who have a certain brand of truck that they have always bought and they feel it is the best because of that, but there are ways to settle this argument. So which one is a better tuck? Well if someone were to say that dodge was better because they are strong, and get good gas mileage they would be right but, Ford has Dodge Ram beat in every aspect of what makes a good truck. Ford has stayed the best-selling truck in America for years and Dodge has been trying to get off the bottom for years, so that in itself can tell you that it is a better truck. The 2015 Ford

Not even looking at Dodge, just looking at Ford itself and what it has improved, replaced and kept from last year’s model. So let’s look at what the new 2015 F-150 offers. Looking at Allyson Harwood’s article (in Kelly Blue Book), “Everything is new from the ground up, starting with a tough frame that uses more high-strength steel than in the past while saving weight”. Ford always comes up with new ways to make their truck better every year and that’s what they have done this year, by taking off hundreds of pounds off the cab. The cab is aluminum and not only the cab, (Allyson Harwood) “The body is made of aluminum, including the hood, doors and bed”. Changing those few things is in turn going to make the mpg go up tremendously. Which it has, 28mpg is the best you can get in a truck with this much power. Although Ford has made many differences to their truck they haven’t completely taken everything off it. They kept all the good parts of the truck. It still has a strong axle and still rides on leaf spring in the back and coil springs in the front. Everyone has to make changes and improvements to keep getting better and to stay the best and to stay on top and that is what Ford has done. They have taken the bad out (or what all they could find) and put better in. For right now there is no comparison for them because of that fact that they aren’t afraid to go back on old designs and be open to new
After, building the 69 Daytona /Charger they wanted to make something a little bit more mean and bad looking and that is why we have the Dodge Charger 500.The body of the car was just great. It was a good looking car. It was the first car ever to have a huge wing on the back. The daytona was meant more for the NASCAR type of racing.
The Ford by Mary Hunter Austin, HardPress Publishing (August 23, 2014), original publication 1917. I am using the original which was scanned to create an electronic reader, Kindle Edition. Introduction The Ford novel is set in the early 1900s, during the time when land speculators start buying up land in the Owens Valley along the Owens River to build the future Los Angeles Aqueduct.
This is a very advantageous quality that the Ridgeline possesses that no other truck has that is currently on the market or coming to
The interior on the older model is not up to date like the newer model is. The 2015 Mustang has more technology on the inside. Overall, the newer model is better made and is more user friendly. The way that they drive is different.
Another reason is that Fords are the most dependable vehicles on the road. One last reason that they are different is because Fords have the best hauling and towing. Chevys are also different than Ford in many ways. The first way is that Chevy basically copied Ford with the whole making automobiles and they are still copying ford today with their designs of vehicles.
That’s what we would like to know, but Chevy doesn’t show it in the commercial and it would be better to see actual statistics or comparison between Chevy and Ford. One rivalry that comes to mind for me, is the Verizon vs. AT&T " There's a Map for That" commercial. In the commercial there is comparing of Chevy trucks and Ford trucks. Because the Ford doesn't survive, it's persuading that the Chevy truck is better.
Dodge ball, one of the causes for bullying in schools. At Elkton Maryland, dodge ball is considered inappropriate because violence and bullying are used in the game. If I were one of the student's parents, I would go ballistic if my child were to get bullied while playing a game of dodge ball! This is a classic childhood game that almost everyone dreads. At our school, we don't play dodge ball because it is a very violent game.
Ford uses statistics and facts to try and convince their perspective buyer they need their product. During the ad they show there is different types of engines for all types of people; the 3.5L,3.7L, and the 5.0L engine. This shows that there is a lot of options for people and they are not limited to one truck. Ford offers an ECOboost truck which would be a great option for people who are wanting to not hurt the environment but also want to drive a truck. Another way ford can show their truck is a good option for consumers is its safeness.

A piece of evidence from usauthority.com was “6 by 6, 4 by 4 and 4 by 2 all being able to drive in 3 ft of water over the steepest climbs while also being able to drive for 203 miles on one tank of gas”(Jackson). This was extremely important because with having 6 wheels they were able to drive all over the mountains and could get back into hiding. Their gas was important because they were not just able to drive on the road, they had to drive on the gravel and the grass and even sometimes had to go through the rivers. A second reason the chevy made a good product was because they were very capable of making a truck within a month. Something I found from GM authority “1947 it took GM and Chevy and their team to make 4 trucks fully built in 10 to 12 weeks”(Mark Recess).
