[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3730322, member: 46636"] I agree to a degree. I have a 1976 Ford Courier with a 4 banger Mazda engine that still runs great (4 on the Floor) This is a beater truck at our place in New Mexico. Fun to drive and has done a bunch of work over the years. I have a 1993 Ford Ranger 4 banger with an 8 spark plug set up with 4 or the floor with overdrive. I love driving this pickup. It runs like a top and is easy to park and maneuver. I use it for running around and hauling light loads. I have a 2020 Chevy 2500 with the gasoline 6.6 L automatic Quad Cab with an 8 ft. bed. It is a no frills work truck without all the bells and whistles such as OnStar or heated mirrors and seats, etc. This I use to pull trailers and heavy loads and long road trips. It mainly sits as I drive the 1993 Ford Ranger mostly. As far Chevy vs. Ford vs. Ram, They all have their strong points and weak points. I have owned Fords and Chevys and couple Chrysler products. In the past I found Chevys the easiest to work on. I don't think that is the case anymore with all the newer vehicles. Never been a fan of Chrysler products. I also have in New Mexico a 1985 Chevy 3/4 ton Van with 350,000 miles on it. I has a 5.7L original engine, transmission, and rear end. Still runs great. I also have in New Mexico a 1999 Ford 3/4 ton Ford van with a 5.4L original engine, transmission, etc. The Ford has 330,000 miles and still runs great. Recently sold a 2,006 Chevy 3500 15 passenger van with a 6.0 L engine that had 258,000 miles on it when I sold it. It ran great, but the paint job sucked. Paint would come off every time I washed it. Chevy used water based crappy paint on those vans. You can see them going down the road with paint missing, especially on the hoods. I have had to do minor repairs on all the vans over the years and they have their strong points and weak points. The Ford has Twin I-Beam which I have never liked and it always wanted to wander. My experience with Twin I-Beam is one is always correcting going down the road to keep it going straight. [/QUOTE]
