i am hands down a ford guy. cheap truck, cheap and plentiful part and can handle alot of abuse. I run mostly 87-95 f150's. they do everything and more i ever asked including running when other would have blown scrap chucks everywhere.
i have a 2000 dodge with same tranny ($1500 worth of parts and work in it) 318 motor. when it runs it purrs. just cant work it or it starts pissing itself ( coolant). replaced cooling system 3 times including head & intake gaskets because i made it pull a trailer. not too impressed with milage either. for a daily driver after 7500 in parts and labor its a good truck but wont see more than groceries for a load anymore.
that pleasure is reserved for my ford...
