A time not to long ago, I had a Chevy van along with my 41 plymouth and my Mustang I drag race. I boasted that I had all 3 US auto mfg represented.

Then at 186000 my Small block chevy started dropping cylinders.

I donated my 87 crown vic with 368000 miles and it is still running. original engine and trans. I was excited to see it traveling down rt 18 in
Medina. It was sad day when I decided to donate it. That was the car that tought 3 of my 4 kids to drive in.

Then they (oldest 3 kids) where upset because I tought the last 1 to drive in my Super Duty hahaah.

My point is, I have had best luck with my Fords. The rest just dont work out for me.
