"Ford"
NUFF SAID!!
I personally wouldn't trade my 12 year old Chevy Silverado for any truck that Ford ever made new or old. The only thing that's ever been replaced on mine is the battery and one set of tires. Still has the same spark plugs that came in it new.
[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
Sorry but there is not a 1/2 truck worth $40K and the Super Dutys, Christ all mighty I can buy another 3 year old Peterbilt for th cost of a new F-350!!!
While I hate Dodge I could not pass up that truck for that price, sorry Ford, over $12K difference in price and you lose.
As much as I love Ford they are pricing the regular working man right out of a truck. The new Ram we bought for under $28K brand new if it said Ford it would have been all of $40K.

Saw the new F150 at a display, its was a beauty with a 2.7 Ecoboost Turbo, not even the 3.5 ecoboost, sticker was $47,340. A buddy of mine drives rental vehciels as his work car, just picked up a new F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. he loves it, says it is areal beast compared to the 2014 5.0 F-150 he drove 8 months ago.

Guess I better get me some GM windshield wiper blades, brake pads, oil filters, oil and such. [:D]

A 2003 Chevy is a lot better product than a 2015 Chevy. After the transformation into "Government Motors" I ended up buying a new Ford and have been very happy with it. Your 2003 Chevy would be what I refer to as a "pre-ban" GM product, I still have my 1985 Chevy (guess I could call it a "pre-86 transferable") [;)]

I guess you should since my truck still has the original wiper blades and brake pads along with the original belts and hoses. I do change the oil and filters and that's been it.

age will get you on those belts and hoses. I usually change mine when they get 5 yrs old. You are playing with fire.
Never again.

Residual value determines the worth of a vehicle.[:o)]
Toyota is the champion in that category.
While that's a real nice looking pickup Smitty posted, he obviously doesn't "work" that pickup. It spends it's life doing duty as a car. When you guys are out and about notice all the pickups/light trucks that actually spend their life working. I don't mean diddly fartin' around with a ladder, or a couple sheets of OSB in the back, I mean actually working. You'll notice that at least 90% of them are sporting a blue oval.[^]
My pickup tows an 8,000 pound 34 ft. travel trailer. How many other people's 1/2 pick-up tows that much weight. My truck sees a hell of a lot more work than the average farm truck.

Have you ever got any cow sheet on it?

If I did I'd wash it off. Same thing with mud when it gets dirty I wash it. When you do that you can keep any vehicle looking nice for many years.

Sorry. I got sidetracked to thinking just trucks? Actually as a brand, Honda is the winner. Here's the list by category:

On the original brake pads even! [:D]
New '91 or so Mitsubishi Mighty Max 2.3 w/ 5 sp manual. Beat it to hell and back.
New '01 Ford Ranger XLT. 2.5 or whatever 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. Nice truck.
Now a factory-ordered 2013 Sierra SLE Beige on Mocha regular cab & 6.5' bed. It has the 4.8 V8 and bullet-proof 4-speed auto. Real sweet ride. Bummer is that it will only tow 4700. Although I recently crossed the country towing 4500, and the truck would easily have pulled twice that. Prolly wreck the suspension, brakes, trans, et cetera.
Would have bought a Ford except I had become over-annoyed by Ford's over-saturation branding of the vehicle. You cannot remove badging easily on the Ford.
Next tuck will be a Lariat extended cab full leather. Tow-Extra package. And it's gota have power folding mirrors.

Yep, no mountains around here. I'd say they're good for another 40,000 miles.
