92 F-250 International Diesel...320,000 miles, replaced the glow plugs once....other than that, she runs like a champ!

Oh and those are 320,000 miles pulling a double axle lawn trailer every, single, day.  And some days, a gooseneck triple axle with a bobcat and up to 4 10-15' coconut palms.

Hands down that truck is the reason why I will never buy anything but Ford ever again for any sort of work.

We now have 4 F-250 Powerstrokes ('02 '03 and (2) '04s), 3 F-550 dump beds, and 2 F-350s, one of which has 200,000 miles and a 60' cherry picker in the back.

my ford mustang 02 is a junker.  That thing fell apart quality-wise really quick

Dodge Ram rules!

Although...and boy am I going to get in trouble for this one...this past  month at MSG...every vehicle that got stuck in the muddy roads was pulled out by a ford.   [smiley=banghead.gif]

My dodge didn't get stuck though. [smiley=Clap.gif]

   Well, I feel pretty out numbered already. I am a die hard gm fan. I am actualy partial to gmc over chevy, but prefer either over dodge or ford. I have owned all three of the top dogs, and have had better luck with gm than any other. I have to admit I have not owned any thing long enough to put more than 175k on it, and don't plan on it.
   I will say this though... I have an '87 chevy 4x4 short box with 295k on it, and the motor is all stock, never been opened up, and she runs like a champ. No smoke, doesn't leak a drop, no "rappin", The ac is even cold. The axles,springs,and all the running gear has been changed to 3/4 ton. The trans is an all GM 4 speed manuel with 4:11 gears. Now, all that said, the reason I have tied up alot of money in this old truck is the motor and the body. I already bragged on the TBI 350, but the body is just as impresive. I had it painted last year, and the guy that did the paint said there was not one hole to fix, and no rust to sand. Sorry, I just love GM, always will.
   Don't forget, if the debate is longevity, toyota will outlast 'em all!

THEY PUT A CHEVY MOTOR IN A FORD BODY BECAUSE THEY SPENT ALL THIER MONEY ON THE FORD BODY SO ALL THEY COULD DO TO MAKE IT RUN WAS PUT A CHEAP ASS CHEVY MOTOR IN IT.


YOU CAN BUILD 3 CHEVY MOTORS TO 1 FORD MOTOR.
THAT 1 FORD MOTOR WILL OUT LAST THAT RAGGED OL CHEVY MOTOR BY FAR.

                FORD FAN

Worked on both all my life.

Fords are work horses but ride like crap.

Chevys ride much better but engines just don't hold up for most.

Dodge is a poor mans work truck. After five years parts just fall off like an old sportster.

My house hold:
1 1984 Mustang sold to a family member w/90K
2 1996 Exploders,still runing strong.(over 140K on both)
2 1997 F150 SC, one still working everyday one sold running great w/167K
1 2000 Navigator w 100K
1 2004 Expedition
1 2004 F250

Niether,I went to DODGE about 5 years ago from ford and have been very happy.  I do believe they are all good trucks,
but DODGE is on top now and they will be for a while. We actually have all DODGE in my house.  My wife has a magnum R/T with a HEMI and I have an awesome Ram 2500 4x4 with a HEMI.  They have both been great machines.

You sound like a an import guy with that statement. If I was worried about mpg I wouldn't of bought 2 v8's. My mustang gets around 12mpg but 4.56's will do that. My truck gets around 17 but again I don't care.  I prefer power over economy.  ;)  -Mark

I had a 1993 Chevy 1500 regular cab long bed with the 5.7l on 35's with 180000miles and it ran great, would pull through any type of mud. Now I have a 2002 1500HD(3/4ton) CrewCab Short bed 4x4 with the 6.0L and I love it. I could never go with ford. I am getitn excited about the new 2007 silverados, I have yet to see any spy shots or anything but have heard that they are going to blow everything else out of the water as far as size, and engines and comfort. The report I read said something about being styled after a "Big Rig"
