Re: Stopped by the ford dealership

My company replaced all the 2003 F150's with new one's (2017's ?) And they were a lot bigger/ taller than the old one's. Of course all the guys *****ed about it. But what was I supposed to do about it. If that's what they got us. Then that's what we've got.

I was lucky. They kept 2 Rangers and one of them was mine. We worked in city's where parking was tight. It was even tough to park the extended cab Ranger sometimes.

I had to drive one of the F150's once and I have to admit it a much nicer ride than the Ranger.

The funny thing is all the trucks in the fleet were 4X4's and we worked in the city. I've worked in districts where we really could have used a 4X4 and they wouldn't give me one. Too expensive. Then I get transferred to the city and that's all they give me. (He shakes his head)
