I had nothing but Fords till 1972 when I bought a 4wd. I had monthly repair bills for 2 years everything that could go wrong did. U joints were out every 5 to 7 thousand miles, steering wheel broke into little pieces, seat broke up and had to be replaced about every 6 months, heater core, radiators, I finally after fighting with Ford for 2 years bought my first Chevy and never went back. Two of my neighbors farm a lot of land and have a lot of pickups. They have both tried Fords to pull livestock trailers and whatever needs pulling , they have come to the conclusion that if you need something reliable get a Chevy. These are just my personal experiences.
