    I’ve had (2) Fords, a GMC and (3) Toyota’s. None of them ever had to have a major repair or left me stranded. Then again, I don’t “trick out” my vehicles or drive too crazy either.

    Never owned a Dodge even though I had access to a family “legacy” discount. Mostly because they are fugly, especially the front end/grill area. Their interiors are finally coming around but they were the worst by far for generations. I’m sure there’s no good reason they are usually last is consumer satisfaction. Probably fake news put out by Ford & GM.

    @SnakeCharmer ...(continuing from my earlier quip)...you see because to dodge is to avoid a collision and to ram is to deliberately run into something... so therefore it's a paradox that it's called....

    ahhh never mind. :confused: :bang:

    Agree with @mike re toyota. I will have my 94 Landcruiser until I die most likely. Built like a tank, wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. Needs a little cosmetic attention now at 170+k (an old pic below)

    And I got this old thing taking up garage space, first year half cab... get it out every couple weeks and realize what a pain it is to drive (little I6 and 3 on the tree). It's been used as intended (beat to hell). Probably keep it for awhile longer, these things are worth stupid money if relatively rust free.

    Apparently Ford is reintroducing the Ranger in 2019. It's too freakin' expensive.

    I’d heard there would be a Raptorized version of the Ranger, but that Jalopnik article indicates otherwise. That could be a pretty cool truck if it materializes. My dad has an early nineties (I want to say ‘91) F250 7.3l single cab long bed stick. Its’s such a tank. I love driving that thing, in small doses. I just bought a Tacoma, and I love it, but also have a smaller fun car to keep things exciting. The size of the Tacoma is perfect for us. Driving a full size truck in any sort of daily capacity in SoCal would be draining for me.

    When you’re a Ford you don’t drive a Dodge without some flack. But we’re loyal either way. The hubby has a 51 Ford F1, 3 on the tree..I don’t like to drive it but he loves it!

    I grew up a gearhead and was born in to the bowtie family. Up till recent years I couldn’t leave any car factory stock and had to personalize em whether it be performance, suspension, lift kit, looks or whatever. I think I’ve owned at least 50 different vehicles and probably every major brand except Nissan. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

    At this point in life my truck is a tool to do a job and I’m not brand loyal. If it leaves me walking it’s gone. I’m a full-size truck kinda guy. My duramax will tow an apartment building, beat any rice burner in a drag race, and nail down 20+mpg if I behave. May not be the fanciest or most comfy but it’s paid for and I can spend money on bikes instead. @Mikie’s Dodge is a beast too. And for the record @hill^billy’s new Ford is far and away the nicest rig I’ve ever set foot in. See all great tools for the job:thumbsup:.

    Jeez, he loves everything, he used do to do metal fabrication for a sub company of Sanger, they remade the bodies on 80’s Porsche’s. He drives a Subaru WRX and also has our old 80s landcruiser for off roading..that thing is like a tractor!
    That 67 Mustang..is it a Fastback by chance?

    I had a nice 66 Bronco back in the day that ran like a raped ape but ate throwout bearings like they were going out of style. Pissed me off so bad one time that I started it and stuck a brick on the throttle hoping it would blow up. It didn’t and I sold it to a buddy in 1991 for pennies on the dollar. He still owns it today and that damn 302 still runs strong. Yes I’m an idiot.
