    Replacement struts

    40,000 miles ago replaced my strurts and springs with monroe quick struts. The family is complaining about ride being too sponge.

    Road Tires

    I don't agree. They advertised it to tow 7000+ and they should have built it too or not advertized it too. This is what gives them a bad name and causes ford to lose market share and close plants. they do the whole country a dis service when they build a poor product. It has a tow package add...
