Message: <blockquote data-quote="BryanDP" data-source="post: 3730517" data-attributes="member: 1111">Since the late 80's I have owned Chevy, Ford and Dodge. My last three trucks since 2006 have been Ford. I currently own the last two of them along with two Mustangs. Chevy and Dodge let me down immensely. I mean, to the tune of thousands and thousands of dollars. My Fords have had no major issues and only a few very minor issues - some to be expected like brake jobs and so forth.I swore I'd never buy another buy another GM or Daimler Chrysler vehicle, but I broke my own rule and did so in 2019. I needed a "big yellow vehicle" that could tow my yellow food truck and the only options seemed to be a Dodge pickup or a Hummer H2. I didn't really want a pickup so I went with the H2. A 2006 which I went and picked up from a teenage girl in Osage Beach, MO. I'd always wanted a Hummer but in addition to my ban on GM, in their "hey day" I owned a hip-hop nightclub and already had "image" issues of being a drug dealer and so forth (I wasn't) so I went with the Ford truck (SUV) instead.I paid $14K for the H2 and have put about $6K in it to get it running and performing great, including a brand new AC. If I put another $5-10K in it it would be body and trim perfect but I cannot justify that for a work truck. If it retires as a work truck it'll probably just be an off road toy for me or it'll get pulled behind our likely forthcoming RV. My dream car has always been an Escalade but I just don't think I can swallow spending that much money on a GM product. New ones are now in the $115K range and I just can't see my way toward that.</blockquote>
