| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2004 ford 150 4 wheel drive crewcab. Living in oregon we have snow during the winter. When i attempted to purchase chains for this vehicle i was told they would not fit. When i contacted fords customer relations i was told i should have read page 276 of the owners manuel prior to purchase so i know own a $41,000 4 wheel vehicle that can not be driven in the snow. Fords attitude was so what! *ak |
