Patricia, Yes, it is true. I remember years ago meeting someone from Ford Marketing. The guy was an absolute madman, but it made for one of the most interesting meeting I'd ever attended at Ford. Anyway, he shouted at the Ford people (who had a concern with how an add-on would perform off-road), HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WILL EVER DRIVE OFF THE PAVEMENT???? Answer at that time was about 5%. The Ford Marketing guy won and he got his add-on, but the message was clear; we are selling style and power. And Americans love that style and power supersized <g> Yes, large vehicles sales are picking up and they are gearing up production to keep the supply rolling. So, your husband may have a whole <lot> of problems with inventory in the next few months, pun intended. GT TH
