i was open minded when i looked at trucks to buy in 06. drove the 06 ford GM chevy nissan and finally dodge. i actually drove the dodge by accident, hadnt even considered one. the ford was ssssslowwww. the gm 6.0 2500 was unimpressive as well. the nissan was impressive but expensive and plain inside. i decided on the chevy because of the color, price and comfort....until i drove by a dodge dealership (while test driving the chevy). test drove the dodge just to make sure bwforw i bought the chevy and wow!!! power, looks, ground clearance and the price was almost 10k less than the chevy. there has not been anything that would even make me consider going with anything else. best truck ive ever owned.

i have a buddy that has a 06 ford and he is always saying he wished he bought a dodge whenever he rides in the ram. it cnat get out of its own way. as far as the luxury side of ford i dont see it. the ram is luxurious if you look into their top of the line ram.

 

This guy joking right? someone please tell me he is making a funny!

 

Im with him.....Ford FTMFW when it comes to life.

 

+2..justntexas07 i love your avatar btw haha

 

Okay! You got me! I was joking about the Dodge being better looking!

Sorry experience dictates here that the last company I worked for had 33 Fords (plus 3 Mercedes / Dodge Sprinters) with horrendous mileage on them (I'm talking about 300k - 560k most of them on original engine and trans.) and still doing 600 mile a day runs with hardly any breakdowns and my Ram with 79k is falling apart! Where's the joke there

 

"he's making a funny" ; for sure!!!!!! if his dodge is that bad at 79K miles it was beat on to death cause i dont know anyone with problems the way he's talking on a dodge

 

NOPE! I use this truck to go to work and back (20 mile round trip) No off roading, no abuse. The most I have carried was probably 10 8x4 sheet rock or my 450lb motorcycle. The only time I really risked it was during the big floods in NEPA aprox three years ago! My truck has 79,000 miles on it and I know the salesman who sold it to me personally and he knows the previous owner who bought it new and didn't abuse it either. Now since I bought it I replaced to ECUs and in the last 15k it has had 2 new front rotors because they are prone to warping (even the local dealer told me this!) All four front ball joints are worn and need replacing so do the inner and outer steering rod ends. All the rear UJ's are worn and need replacing and my transfer case sounds like someone is in there hitting it with a hammer avery time I go from forward to reverse! No I don't use 4hi or 4lo unless I am stuck in the snow! The electric window switches are throwing a fit! My dashboard is cracking and all my heater vents seem to break just parked in my driveway! Even the plastic on my guage cluster started to crack for no apparent reason and the radio is being a pain in the ***! The back end of the chassis is really starting to rust badly, so is the bottom of the drivers door (I though they fixed that after the 2nd generation) and the bottom of the tailgate!

So that's my story!

 

The joke is Ford is the least dependable of the big 3. Chevy is probably #1, Dodge is close but probably falls 2nd, and Ford is 3rd by far. Personal expericance. In 1998 I bought my first truck a 1994 Ford F-150 302. It had 35,000 miles on it. I drove it for 2 days and it blew a rear main seal. Warranty covered it, two weeks later the whole fck'in engine blew and it had to be rebuilt, under warranty. At 56,000 miles the transmission went out and it had to be rebuilt, the warranty was out by then. Needless to say that was the last ford I will ever own. I have had 3 dodge since then a 1994 5.9 that would work the POS Ford into the ground, a 2004 2500 CTD and my current 2007 Hemi, Dodge has Ford beat hands down on LOOKS and DEPENDABILITY. THAT'S THE JOKE.

Another example:
My father-in-law bought a brand new 2004 Fors F-350 dually with the 6.0. He has always been a Chevy guy but decided to give the Ford a try. Long story short he had the truck for a year and in was in the shop over a dozen times, needless to say he bought another Chevy and will never own another FORD.

 

CHEVY #1? Now I know you're on drugs!

 

Yeah WTFH? Chevy sucks the letter I when it comes to vehicles...Ford #1 , Dodge #2, Chevy #100.
