[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 1292996, member: 1055"] Interesting points, you certainly have an opinion! I'm not hating on GM, I've been a GM fan for years, and had the "gold standard" in my 94 Extended Cab that I put 283K miles on, it was solid as a rock. Everything after that has been a disapointment, including a 98 Suburban that has been the single worst experience I have had with a vehicle, so bad that GMC provided a hefty incentive to get me into another vehicle. I had an '03 Silverado that was in the shop so much before warranty was out that I had no confidence that it wouldn't be there alot outside of warranty on my dime, so after 15 months and 37K I traded it on the '05 which I had for 5 years and 130K. I expect 200k miles out of my trucks, I drive alot, and I get 4WD, not for rock crawling, but for the assurance of getting me to and from my destination no matter what the conditions. I expect to maintain the typical items over that mileage. I don't expect to replace cylinder heads, and rebuild transfer cases, that is not typical. Could I buy an older car, nickel and dime it constantly and save alot of $$'s, sure I could, but I chose not to. Will the Ford be better? Only time will tell, but for now I like everthing about it much better than the '10 products from any other auto maker. [/QUOTE]
