Ford recalls more Bridgestone/Firestone!
Heard on the radio news, Ford is recalling 240,000 Bridgestone/Firestone tires from the Expedition. I forgot the tire name but it wasn't the Revo.
It was linked to 3 deaths so the recall nightmare for Ford begins again!

Thats funny, cause i did a tv show that was sponsored by Ford and we had a couple Excursions. On one day we went through six tires driving on gravel roads. Way to big a truck for the tire in my humble opinion.

I have worked for both Ford as a technician and Firestone as a tire tech and a salesman. The fault is with those firestone tires. You would be suprised how soft the sidewall is compared to the Bridgestones!

Well, with the 100k mile warranty on the entire drivetrain, I don't think he'll be having any repair bills anytime soon. 
That truck is the only Ford vehicle I would own though. I might consider a gas powered engine, but that's unlikely. Diesel all the way when it comes to full size rigs. And that 6.0 hauls major @$$!
Of course, I'd always keep my Yota for a trail rig.
