You know the kind. Just read through the comments on pickuptrucks.com. Even Rivian has them now apparently.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been there. There’s a reason the comments are closed. Comments on the Rivian are the basic Ford/Chevy stuff, except it’s Ford/Rivian on the FP. Just dumb arguments.

wait - I thought Ford just threw half a billion dollars at Rivian, (are they already not getting along?)

I mean I don’t see any comments at all.

I kept waiting for that to be a spoof ad, but it appears to be serious.
I could imagine that being offensive to almost everyone. Plus, I’m sort of shocked that Firestone still sells tires after the Explorer fiasco (which wasn’t totally their fault, but still...it’s like if Takata survived and thrived)

No, the fanboys....

I meant the comments on the FP had the Ford/Rivian fanboy arguments. Looks like on pickuptrucks.com the last comments were in the beginning of March. They just really reminded me of the completely inane “Chevy’s man-step is better than Ford’s because Chevy has a V8" type stuff.
Looks like this is one of the last to have comments on: https://news.pickuptrucks.com/2019/03/hennessey-builds-america-the-ranger-raptor-that-ford-wont.html I’m sure there are some gems in there.

I should go there and discuss the virtues of hypermiling and how much I love my Honda Fit... but that my next vehicle might be a Prius or a Tesla.
I should probably also link THIS writeup I did on that site...

ah.
I do know that some of the more, er, vociferous commenters from PUT.C took their grudges over to TTAC for a while until getting bounced.

Well... sadly, it looks like they had their comments shut down as of last month.

I was just surprised that Rivian had exactly the same following, and they’ve yet to even make a truck.
