Ford Anyone?

    Personally, I'v never had much luck with  Chevy products.

    Ford and Dodge have always run longer, for me, at least.

    While I was growing up, my Dad worked as a car salesman.   I always had something to drive, but never knew how long I'd have it.    So, I learned never to get attached to any car.  I never buy new, and my last two Ford F 150's were over 250,000 miles, and still running when I sold them.   My current Dodge 1500 has over 200,000 miles, and is still going strong.   Both had 50,000- 60,000 miles when I bought them.

    My last Chevy truck had less than 150,000 when the motor blew.   Oil pump failed, and it spun every bearing in the motor.

I own a F-150 FX4 and my wife has her Kona blue drop top mustang. I am not a big fan of Chevy / GMC aka Government Motors after they took bail out money and Ford did not, sorry.

Im a ford guy but a sucker for old a-body's but IIRC they did take money in the bailout but it was much smaller amount and was paid back quickly. I believe they had to take one for the GOV to avert future suits claiming favoritism

Good experience always counts for a lot Terry, thanks.

On a side note...I've seen so many crashes in my profession that I've lost track and the Ford PUs always seem to take a front-end hit better than a Chevy...hands down. However, I do like the look of the Sierra and the brand new Silverado is pretty sharp too.

In the end, I'd have to go with Ford when I buy a PU in another 2 years.
