90% of all Ford trucks built since 2000 are still on the road. Those are the ones that needed the heated tail gate. The rest made it home.

I thought the heated tail gate was to keep Ram owners bottom warm will they sit and watch their truck being pulled home. A bit of humor back to ya.

Actually...the heated tailgate is a tailgating option and is used to prepare steaks, burgers, etc. This is not available to ram truck owners as a study found that ram owners tended to over-stay in an area due to the option, which also created a second order problem of needing to move the steering wheel to allow the owners adequate clearance to slide behind the wheel.

After the free pizza last night and the pot luck tonight at Q, this Ram owner will have trouble getting behind the wheel

Hey Ford haters! Here is a video I just took of a Ford truck towing a Dodge Ram that has a trailer attached with a Toyota Truck on it.
Hopefully this Facebook video link is embedded for this forum:
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

Funny, Funny, Funny. I still have a 1986 F-250 with a 6.9 Diesel SRW, 8ft bed and it has never let me down. Still runs and drives like new. It has 145,000 Miles. My last Dodge had the interior fall apart at 60,000 miles and the drive shaft bearings went out.
So, I'll stay with FORD until I can no longer breath.

Boys will be boys, however pulling another vehicle has more to do with traction than power. When the guy says go, stand on your brake and wait for the other truck to break traction. As soon as it does, hit the fuel and pull them backwards. There's even a video out there of a Volkswagon pulling a Duramax backwards by doing this.
