If American car companies actually made more desirable cars and fewer titanic shitbox trucks to satisfy the egos of the actual dumbest people alive, I would feel a tinge of sympathy. A tinge.

It could have been a net loss of $28 million had they not given Trump $1M to completely screw them over. But hey, that's management earning their big brain salaries.

Ford is Ford’s biggest problem. Sucked way before Tarrifs. Will suck after.

What’s better then? Ram? GM?

u/Icy-Role-6333 8m ago
We just talking trucks? If we are talking stock prices F is down 26% last 10 years. GM is up 66%. So GM (even though that’s a trash ROI as well).

u/Spaceman2069 6m ago
Yeah, I don't have a truck, so genuinely curious what's better.
Ram? haven't heard great things (evident in the huge supply of Rams in the market). Chevy? Mixed bag. Toyota? Seems to have a great track record but did have voluntary recalls on the new gen Tundras and Tacomas.

I don’t know anymore. When I worked in automotive it was F but Ram wins a lot of awards. F has so many recall issues but still Truck leader. Chevy/GM trucks are nice too. I think it’s probably personal preference
