Dodge To Be Dropped

I'm not disagreeing with you on your Ford, but for those who use the argument of money going overseas I would like to use Ford as an example. Ever heard of Land Rover and Jaguar? The nightmares of those two companies and the ineffeciency of the plants to build these two and that it was going to cost Ford more money to sell these two nightmares than it was to streamline the plants. Neither of these Ford divisions were profitable. That being said, if neither was profitable where was the money going to come from to streamline the plants? From the profit on the trucks coming out of Kentucky, perhaps?

Alright, its a given that buying any English manufacturing concern is incredibly stupid.

I don't think its especially relevant to this discussion what Ford does with the net profits they make on their trucks, moronic or otherwise. As long as the gross is getting spent to keep Americans working.

The fact is, if you need a *decent* full-size truck (aka NOT the older power-impaired or newer motor blowing junk Toyota), and you want to be able to act all sanctimonious about buying American, there's one manufacturer you can buy from, or at least there was until GM moved some of their truck manufacturing back to Indiana a couple years back.
