FORD People
I was reading the one post about being loyal to Fords but couldnt find it again to post what i want to say. Let me tell you, i am 17 years old and just bought my 6th Ford pickup. sure i would own a ch*vy or dodge, if someone gave it to me. i got my first Ford when i was 15, a '79 F-150 SuperCab for $500 and never stopped since. latest Ford is a 1971 F-100 Explorer 4x4 with a 300 Six and 4 speed. 82,000 orig miles. i traded my '96 Eddie Bauer F-150 for it. everyone says i'm nuts, i say i'm in love. anyway FORD 100%!
PS- i paid the same for the F-150 as the guy was asking for the F-100

i love the oldies, course i am an oldie! trucks were made out of metal back then, and they are so easy to work on! course my 97 cc is a little more comfortable for long drives, but i have driven my 60 on longer drives!

I've always owned Fords (cars and trucks) and have been a loyal, happy customer, but for the quiz/vote above, I'd definately take the brand new Chevy truck, as I could turn it around for a pretty penny, and get several used ford trucks for that money

im not really brand loyal but i dont think dodge has quality and im not a big fan of gm and imports are to complicated even for most shops around here
but how can anyone resist option No. 4 , ANY car think of the possibilities i mean could be anything H1 to an exotic i love my last two fords but i dont think they are the best vehicles ever made.... just the best for reality!!!!!!! i know i cant afford a $3000 ferrari oil change!!

Fords then GM but never dodge. I once worked at an auto auction and had the oppurtunity to drive a lot of different cars and trucks and I can honestly say "I will never buy a dodge".
6th in 4 years? I'm on my second Ford in 25 years. I become attached to my vehicles so I tend to keep them forever. My affection towards my vehicle far outstrips my affection toward people. I can trust my truck more than I trust a mere human.

Any vehicle you want, but not a Ford. Man I would take new Jeep Rubicon over any vehicle so far. If I was spending my money I would buy a Ford truck, but not any thing newer that a 96 unless it was a 3/4 ton and up.

I'd buy two more GEN 1 Lightnings in black and red. Then I would have all three colors.
