[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
When I was in Detroit, they'd certainly say "the F150" or less likely "the Ford," or perhaps "the Ford truck."
Brand names were all up in the conversation. However, "the Ford F150" implies that Chevy has an F150, and you don't want to get that one instead. It's like calling a close friend by first and last name the whole time.
If you're talking about a specific truck distinguished from other trucks, yeah. But if you're talking about a truck distinguished from all the other cars, then go truck. Vote truck.
The word has no meaning anymore.

Toyota wanted to call their big pickup truck the T150, but Ford asked them not to. I guess they're sensitive about the 150 thing.

NSM with the groups I hung out with. The cars were pretty much always named like that. It could be the only gas-powered vehicle in ten miles, and we'd be getting into the 325. Just never the BMW 325i.
ita, do you wear a sign that says "looking for people to contradict bon bon"?
I am suspicious of your so-called "friends."
I am suspicious of your so-called "friends."
Of course you are.
But if you check the timeline, you'll see you contradicted me.
ita's mom pays us two chickens a week to be "friends" with her daughter, and yes, contradicting bon bon is in the contract.
Two chickens?! TWO chickens?!
Kat and Lori get two chickens and a bonus goat once a year for taking her shopping.
Of course, if anyone finds me a husband, it's a lifetime supply of goat.
Which might explain some things.
