Ford Outlines Fuel Economy, Electric Car Plans to Feds - Needs $9 Billion

Although, every release Ford puts out to woo Congress mentions hybrids and fuel mileage. Fords best product is its trucks! I have owned a Ford Truck ever since I learned to drive 30+ years ago. I have tryed them all and would not own another brand of truck. The F-150 is a great recreational or light duty work truck, the F-250 is a great workhorse, and I have never owned anything larger but I am sure they are needed in industry. Many companies in this part of the country own fleets of Ford trucks (I am from the Southeast US). I never cared much for their cars since the 1970's. I used to be a service manager for Budget Rent a Car, so I have drien just about every vehicle sold in the US at that time. I hope the hybrids they keep hyping are better than their regular cars. When the economy first started turning on us and it looked like Ford might be in trouble, I told my wife that Ford should just do away with the car division and focus on trucks. My motto: Stick with what you do best.
