Toyota is the best and I buy the best, period.

Re: Time to boycott Ford!?
boycotts don´t work,

let me explain,

in mexico people wanted to boycott starbucks to protest trump,

but that would only hurt mexican workers,

because starbucks in mexioc has mexican workers,

same thing with ford,

ford has plants in canada too,

they do this to stay competitive in the global market,

so by boycotting ford you are shooting your own foot,

it is a kneejerk reaction that has no logical purpose,

first of all ford is not responsible for thye fact that you don´t haver a representative govt.

how about boycotting congress?

that would make more sense,

since congress is the group the makes the laws,

ford does not make laws,

ford is a company,

their pupose is to make a profit and stay competitive,

if they don´t do this,

they will go belly up and then you will feel the cinammon,

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74089865



Oh No!

I don't want to feel the cinammon...

PS: What is the cinammon?

Take some of the Ford bashing (which they seem to be asking for) and where it may be coming from with a grain of salt. If Ford does poorly who stands to benefit? Sorry, it is a conspiracy site.

However, that being said:
"It is criminal to assassinate a business to which large numbers of men have given their labors and to which they have learned to look at as their field of usefulness and their source of livelihood." -Henry Ford. source: Quotations from the unusual Henry Ford.

Past time.

Henry was a Eugenicist and an early financial supporter of hitler.
The long range goal of the ford foundation has been the redistribution of the 'wealth' ,and destruction, of the American middle class. Just like the rockefellers. They have said as much.

Their products suck anyway.

Trump will impose whatever tariff makes Ford think again... Ford won't be moving to Mexico.

Re: Time to boycott Ford!?
Ford is sticking with its plan to build two new factories in Mexico, despite an announcement last month that it had scrapped plans for a plant in the central state of San Luis Potosi.

The US carmaker said a planned factory in the central state of Guanajuato will build engines and transmissions, while another in the northern city of Chihuahua will make car parts for use by Ford factories in the United States

Tesla is more American than Ford now I think. Tesla, I think, is now the leader in American auto manufacturing, as far as % of all parts made and assembled in the USA.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

the time to boycott ford was when Ford supported the Nazis

sooooooooo this pales in comparison
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74076195


No issues. When they try to pass the cost of those new tariffs along to the customer, nobody will buy their vehicles anymore.

That said, kinda wondering if they think they know something we don't...

Naa, Ford F-150 series is the best selling vehicle in North America for over a decade.
395,000 were sold in US from june 2015 to june 2016, up 10.7%
[link to www.goodcarbadcar.net]

and 56,000 in Canada for same time frame up 28%;
[link to www.goodcarbadcar.net]
 Quoting: Engineer46


Outside of their trucks, the cars and SUVs are cheaply made and break down quickly. They generally put effort in the f-150 trucks. I drove an old Ford Explorer when they first came out, and it cost about $250 a month in maintenance after the 3rd year.
 Quoting: Zedakah


My Ex had an 03 Exploder. It shot out 4 of the 8 plugs out of the head. Major design flaw they never owned up to.
 Quoting: Oaken Paw


Tell me about it, I had an 04 and at 80k the motor went, the bearings went on both sides and the fucking paint started falling off. The damn thing was garage kept. Then I find out this was a major problem with many of thier cars for years with the paint and Ford said FU! This was my nineth Ford. Never again!

Re: Time to boycott Ford!?
I think the better solution would be for Ivanka Trump to just take over ford. then she could make them in mexico, which would be seen as smart business decision. no need to boycott.

any corporation not manufacturing in America should just put the trump brand on it and problem solved.

Cars are too important - you are not going to boycott Ford. You have to buy the right car for your situation. IF it is a Ford, then you have to buy the Ford. No other option.

I wont ever have to worry about boycotting Ford. The worst piece of shit I ever owned was a ford, it was in the shop for repairs more often than it was for oil changes.

The Canadian factory produces some of the most durable vehicles known to man. F-150's and Rangers that will go for half a million miles if the oil is at least changed every 10,000 miles or so.

Almost as immortal as thes full-ton GMC fleet vehicles where the odometer passes 999,999 miles, then reads "to be continued".
