I have driven Fords since High School and was very happy with them my E-250 work van was totaled and I needed a van in a pinch so I bought an 02 GMC 3500 Savana this van is the biggest POS on the road electrical problems, intake manifold gaskets before 80k (BTW a known problem) and the interior is just sheet, the van has been sitting as I had surgery last Wed and my wife comes in the house the other morning telling me the heater fan/motor is running I'm like WTF keys are in the house so I go outside and sure enough the fans is running no keys in the van all the heater controls are off  I also bought a brand new 06 2500HD which has been back 2x for exhaust shields rattling and driveline vibration that supposedely doesnt exist according to the dealer funny thing is when I drive my buddy's identical truck his is smooth as silk, btw it has been to 2 seperate dealers. And dont get me started on gas mileage should have went back to FORD cause GM=Junk IMO |
What he said.
The last two companies I drove for in the last 18 years had 75% Ford.
Including my F series I have replaced exactly 1(one) light bulb in 800,000 miles driving Fords. Interior,exterior,marker lights,etc,etc.
Chevy/GM? I still have the Torx driver I had to buy to remove the headlight bezel to replace the bulb AGAIN. From 1988.
Kind of off topic but somewhat relevant. My company runs Chevy 3500 vans.
Had a 2006 van that blew up a transmission after 1 year and 51,000 miles. Based in ME; all highway. Out of commission for a month.
Chevy will replace the transmission with a 5 year/100,000 mile transmission as long as we pay half.
