I've got a second hand Silverado dually. 2007. It has to pull a lot of weight across country in the Summer and handle slippery town roads in the winter and it hasn't let me down yet.
Plus, I like the way the Allison diesel purrs.

I have had ford, chevy and dodge. I will say that I now drive a 2012 ford raptor, just an overall fantastic truck. The ride is second to none that I have owned as of yet. The 6.2L SVT is so strong, however it does burn fuel like a mad dog. I really liked my 3500 4x4 chevy with the duramax/allison. Very dependable and ran great. The one thing I notice on all the new trucks is how cheap all of the interiors are, just sad! I voted for ford and chevy, overall both are very competitive as far as I am concerned.
I love the f-150's! Especially the new ones. Ford guy born and raised.

When I was working as a canine unit I was issued a ford expedition with a 5.4L. What a truck, I can not tell you how hard we used those things and they were relentless about staying together. our biggest issues were brakes, tires. and front end alinements.
I work for a ford dealer in Orange County Ca. but thats not why I chose Ford. If I was going to buy a truck It would be a F-150. I have seen over the years how good of a truck they actually are. Its a long story but I guess its kind of a family owned business. I dont have alot of expeience with anything else. I have worked at the dealership 3 different times over the years. working with family is different at times. I would rather spend time with my

Ford has horrible customer service. Borderline criminal. I have a friend who works for them, so I know all about the directives from the factory. They lie, cheat and steal, at the customers expense. They sold us a lemon and refused to make it right. I will NEVER buy another Ford ever again. As far as the quality, I have found it to be about the same as Chevy or Dodge. I know people that swear by one or the other of these, but I see people having problems with all of them about equally.
I'll take a Tundra. They are just as "American" made as any other truck, and its my opinion they they are better quality, which translates into fewer hassles and expenses.

Ford.....I have a 93 Ford Bronco fullsize 5.8.....I feel your pain when pulling in to the gas station...however, I use to have a BMW 528....love the body on them but with where we live and the crazy last few winters( and being literally stuck at our property for 6 days last year because of flooding and mud and snow) the Bronco rocks solid...even though the automatic 4wd switch works when it feels like it...it is still up high and we have not had any issues getting around....my son has already told me that the Bronco is his when he starts driving....to which I laugh and tell him he will change his mind after having to pay to quench the thirst if that 5.8...lol although I have become use to it because I just love the truck..
Ps....one day I called the truck a female name and was quickly, and without shame or shyness, corrected by my 12 year old son with this "sorry mom, but this is a truck so you can't call it a girl name...just can't" ...since he had such conviction I agreed and whenever I am compelled to have a discussion with the truck it usually goes something like...come on baby....this way no female name used and both parties are happy...lol

My favorite is when my husband says "he's going to use Old Girl", people give him odd looks!
Apparently she's very well known in the family as well.
My sister in law asked to use "Old Girl" when her car was in the shop!!!
She's the greatest!
