Well, I rented this brand new Chevy to go to Burley the odometer said 4 miles it's a diesel with the Allison, I put 2100 miles on it, and I can tell ya this is the worst POS that I've ever driven, my old 73 "beater" is a way better truck. After a 100 miles your ass is so frikkin sore you have to get out, and that Allison is got to be worst slush box ever. Now for the real kicker and what a surprise this was, going along on a two lane road getting ready to pass a dead beat with quite a bit of on coming traffic, finally a spot opened up but not that much room but enough(get the picture)so I pulled out and stand on it, guess what nothing happens WTF is this, so I pulled back a few minutes later another oppertunity comes up so I try it again and same shit man this sucks big time, so I decided to time this delay and after 5 times I counted 3-4 seconds before anything happens, but when it does happen it still takes forever for the power to come on, it did have the power once it got going though just takes forever. With all the bells and whisles this truck had it had to cost $40g's, I wouldn't give $500 for this POS!...

Blue ovals may only be good for shooting at, but bowties are only for little boys!

And has a but load of power. May be it had to do with renting the truck. The cloth seats suck to keep clean but the truck rides and is very comfortable. Sorry but i dont agree.  |
Sorry I don't own any Fords, disagree all you want but facts are facts, and renting a brand "NEW" vehicle don't mean $hit, that thing was the worst POS I've driven in ages!..

Sure you got the Duramax?? My 6.0 sounds just like the Duramax in the morning and has the same power your describing.
