Ford trucks are well built vehicles. Mine had 234,000 when I bought it 6 years ago. I did routine maintenance checks on it (and as I mentioned did a clutch rebuild on it, plus put a new 4x4 switching unit) prior to hauling 4 full truck and trailer loads while moving on a 1200 mile round trip. Since then just been poking around on country roads, changing fluids and rotating tires, haven't done nothing else to it since, and now it's got 275,000

That they are. As long as they are maintained and not drivin by a kid in high school that just got his license they will last a good while with no problems. But when something does go wrong your in for a treat. Ford seems to be the one that started the trend with taking your car/truck to a dealership to have it worked on. If you didn't do it the exact way the ford manual said to you will be cussin and busting knuckles until you get one.

Chevy on the other hand, used to be that you can take apart and rebuild with an adjustable wrench under a shade tree in the middle of the woods. Guess that was so when it broke down every couple months it was cheaper to get it fixed

Either way I will always own a ford
