Seattle Auto Show 2010 - 014

See 001 for notes:[link]

When a company designs a truck to have headlights that are as big as my upper body, that is seriously pushing the boundaries of design. The new 2011 Ford Super-Duty lineup is impressive in size. The front grille is so tall that it was amusing to see two teenagers trying desparately to reach the oil dipstick, let alone the hood so they can close the engine bay. They were as tall as me, so I would have had equal amount of trouble trying to reach the components in the engine bay.

Unfortunately for Ford, even with class-leading horsepower and torque from their new Scorpion 6.7 diesel, the updated General Motors heavy-duty trucks still beat them with better capabilities of using almost all of their engine power. General Motors is taking advantage of this and picking on Ford in some of their marketing stints. The Scorpion uses CGI (compacted graphite iron) engine blocks, so there is a great deal for potential for Ford. General Motors should watch their mouths and focus on making a good truck, rather than trying to beat Ford and prove something all the time.

The Ford exhibit was cramped. The cars and trucks were placed so close together that I could not get much good pictures of this truck thanks to my strange camera.

I'm not much of a fan for Ford but hey, at least they didn't take the bailout money like GM and Chrystler did. I'm still a fan of GM.
