Ford VS Chevy Truck Debate

Over the years there has been plenty of debate over which truck is better Ford or Chevy..

I think this article says it all.. Should end the debate once and for all..

Never saw this happen to a Ford or even a Dodge... LOL

anything built by ford since 1997 and chevy since 2003 and dodge since 1989: junk. might as well go to lowes.

sorry, but its the way I feel based on astute observations.

Aint paying $60K+ for something that will blow all the head gaskets, the tranny and have huge gaping rust holes in it 5 years later

So then my 2001 (427k miles) and my 03 (215k miles) are junk? They are very clean looking and dependable otherwise I would have bought something newer years ago. I suggest You go to Lowes. Based on my astute observations

These discussions get a little childish as far as I can see and grown ups seem to take it to the next level. I couldn't care less what anyone drives. To each their own..

hey some people liked yugos ;-)

but yes. too much money for too little quality. to rack up those miles means you do a lot of highway and you live no where near snow or rain. and if you are on the original powertrains it means neither has ever seen a trailer. bring em to PA and report back in 3 years. MY kids 1990 (used to be mine) is 27 years old in the rust belt and has far less rust than any of its neighbors made in the last 5 years.

And I will be at lowes in about 1 hour.
