		<description>We do import a lot of F-series into Australia, because Boart LongYear, the world&#039;s biggest drilling company,buys them by the 100 for exploration and mine site development, using the  F-250 and 350 in V8 as support vehicles.

F-series have been the top selling truck in their class in the U.S. for 43 years, and have the best re-sale value holding ability of any vehicle ever made, anywhere...
THEREFORE....
Most likely[and this is straight from the horses mouth, shire councils will go back to F-trucks soon, because and I quote{You have to wring the F*****g necks of the jap trucks to get anything out of them....]
So does the rural ambulance services, and a lot of cashed up miners, so they can tow their kids horses in a float to the beach.....
Ford will be on top globally in a few years, because Gordon Gecko knows wot he is doing....Their SHARE PRICE WILL BE BACK UP TO $40 WITHIN FIVE YEARS....like it was in &#039;97, when there was little war, and lots of mining development.
Read &quot;Driving like crazy&quot; by P.J.O&#039;Rourke if you want to understand the actual reasons.
If you don&#039;t just by an F series, and head off to the mines like Wolverine.</description>

		<description>Crikey! Now to all the doubters out there I&#039;ll tell you what these trucks are really all about!

You wanna pull some major sh*% out of a godd@%$ swamp in a hurry before it sinks then you need something with a bit more neddy than the average &#039;cruiser! We have one at the ranch that&#039;s done it all- and I mean feats that will blow your balls right out of your wife&#039;s hand! It&#039;s pulled pines through the creek, up the canyon, boulders... yeh boulders to lay around the driveway! Unbogged landcruisers, jeeps, a hummer and poxy Hiluxes. 

And yes, it will pull a sailor out of your sister. Make no mistake gents, there are jobs for these trucks!</description>

		<description>how is further 4 wheel braking going to help??

It must cause a crash when the trailer rolls onto its side and that stops it from swinging around.</description>

		<description>fair enough.

i was always told to accelerate your way out of the sway.

I dont mean that in a reckless sense, but a smooth right foot should do the same.
I thought braking made it worse. Perhaps the swapping sides thing with the brakes is what makes it a treat.

I dont see how the Rams would work though.
try coming down a hill with the trailer starting to sway, how is further 4 wheel braking going to help??</description>

		<description>To describe the F-150&#039;s &quot;Trailer-sway control&quot; is when the vehicle brakes from one side to the other depending on which side the trailer is swaying. The Dodge Ram has another kind of Trailer-Sway Control when all brakes come on simultaneously as opposed to the Ford&#039;s way by keeping the momentum. Go to fordvehicles.com/f1502009, then click on &quot;Semi Corridor Towing&quot; and it shows the comparisons.</description>

		<description>Hey OZ,

Its not only good at towing trailers, its bloody awesome at everything it does.

I love the adverts they have done over the years to promote it. 
No B/S, just unreal things they put it through to prove its strength

What exactlly is trailer sway control by the way??? i noticed it mentioned on the F series, but Im not sure exactlly what it is. Perhaps ive heard of it by another name.....</description>

		<description>hahaha Andrew M... I thought you would come up with a good response to Alex&#039;s comment.

But it is true how the F150&#039;s are good for towing large trailers, just look at the comparisons they have done against the Silverado, Ram &amp; Tundra on Ford&#039;s website. The Ford has trailer-sway control which the Chevvy and Toyota don&#039;t have.</description>

		<description>Alex,
Did you know there is a commercial side to the auto market??

do you think that someone that might buy one of these to safely and easily tow a horse float or bobcat is an Idiot??

you are just ignorant</description>
