Because I've got one.

Several, in fact.
(He says, blatantly)

 

Im on my 3rd ford pickup i dive them cause they are the best looking and most reliable truck out there.~later~

 

If I didn't drive A Ford then what else would I be able to drive??? The only real car co. is F to the ord

 

This is my 5th Ford truck since high school its a 2003 PSD. Ive had a 82-150,86-150,91-150,96-150 all bought new except this last truck which I bought used. None off them ever have given me a bit off trouble all have been trouble free. Off course my Dad an his Dad thats all they ever had too was Fords an thats all I ever had. I never had no reason to buy anythng else.

 

They make other trucks besides Ford?

 

because I grew up in a chebbie family and learned that Fords were better!! So I have converted my family and we now have 12 Fords and no other brands.

 

I grew up being around fords,father had a ranger,then a f15,my first truck was a bronco II,gonna be a ford driver for life,never been stuck somewhere with one yet..then then when i lock my keys in my car

 

I grew up with fords my grandfather, my dad and uncles, and me and my cuzins. I my self am on my 4th since i was 15 (Im going to be 19 in Dec.) I have a 2000 F-150 my parents have a 2002 Expy(Owned since new). There are other companies out there but they can never stack up to what a Ford is worth.

 

Why do I drive a Ford?

It's quite simple, I was brainwashed....

My father bought a '67 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon, when I was a kid. Loved that vehicle, he had for 10 years. Had other large Fords, growing up, '75 LTD, '74 Mercury Rideau 500 -- that was a huge boat - passed everything but the gas station. I was always confortable with large Ford vehicles, and my fathe-in law and brother in-law had Ford trucks. So, when I decided to buy a truck, I bought a Ford truck. Have never regretted it.

 

I have always been a Chevy fan. My first car was a 1992 Chevy Cavalier RS (had for about 2 years) and then my second vehicle was a 1996 Chevy S-10 (had for about 6 months). I loved both those vehicles. My Uncle has always been a Ford fan. Him and I have always had discussions about which was better. Well when I got my S-10, I gave him my Cavalier because his 1992 F-150 was costing him way too much in gas and he couldn't afford it anymore. So he's been driving my Cavalier. I loved my S-10 but I wanted a full size truck. So I was looking around and found this F-150 and I test drove it, and instantly fell in love with it. I absolutely love this truck. So of course I got it. I did test drive Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierra's and all those. And I really liked them. But I decided to give Ford a chance and I like this truck more than the Chevy's I drove. Even better than the '05 Silverado's that I drove.

 

When i was born, my dad bought an F-150 brand new, i literally have grown up in the darn thing, i still have it to this day, and it runs very well.

The truck has been Abused HORRIBLY but you cant kill it. When i got the truck i ran it plum to death, but it still goes good. Had to re-ring it once, so instead ig ot a deal on an engine...stuck that in there, and ran it out of oil shortly after 2 times in a row...damn valve cover kept walking off...lol so i had to re-ring it anyways. Well it still runs sweet. The truck was an off-roader from day one, never was modified, but it spent the majority of its life either towing hard or playing in the mountains. Its a true testimonial to the strength and longevity of a ford truck.

When my dad bought the truck, the paint had all fallen off within the first year he owned it...oopse...who knew the 80's had bad paint? lol.

Well after that he said F it and never maintained it...EVER
I got it a few years ago, and started keeping up on it. Since ive owned it and wheeled it hard ive broke 1 axle, Dana 44 and thats all...nothing else has broke yet.

almost everything under the hood is original. replaced a coil, dizzy, last year as well as my steering system, after a terrible misfurtunate accident....and other than that, if you were to point at something under the hood, i could tell you it was original

 

GOOD Question! In the late 50's I lived with my Great Uncle during the Summers. He ran a garage and he and his 2 sons ran a race car at a local dirt track. I would help them work on the car and noticed that the fast cars at the track were Fords. In the late 60's a friend and I decided to build a car and due to our lack of money we would out with a 57 Ford. After running it for a couple of years with very good success I was offered a job with Earl Brooks who I had been buying and begging used parts from. I worked for him for a couple of years as a general flunky and gasman on race day. It always seemed to me that while Ford performance parts were more expensive than the others, They seemed to make more torque and lasted a LOT longer. Owned some GM trucks and while I was satisfied with them I always came back to Ford. Right now I have 2 66 Ford trucks, one of which I drive every day, a 3/4 ton Gmc 4/4, a Dodge Ram 50 (Came with my second wife), and a Chevrolet Impala.

 

like other users said: you just can't kill 'em...
unfortunately, my '95 only got to 175,000, but it was abusive mileage...
my old man bought it in '99, from 99 to 03, was in two wrecks, didn't total it...
i was in a wreck in it in January of '05, cut off by a tractor-trailor, didn't total it, barely, and up until the day it died it ran like new...it would do 90 on the highway like nothing...had a 302 with a 4 speed, got a pic of it in my gallery

 

I went to the wrecking yard to get a distributor for a friend's '73 Blazer. I went all through the yard and didn't find any small block Chevys so I went back to the front desk and asked what gives? They said, "Oh, all the small block chevy parts are back here behind the counter." I told them what I needed and a guy went into the back room and brought out the distributor. "That'll be $85." I pointed out that their price list claims that a distributor was $35. "Not for a small block Chevy." Then he genuflexed and a beam of light shone down from the heavens onto the distributor. Not really, but it seems that way sometimes. I get a lot of my stuff from the scrap yard where they crush cars. They also sell parts (cheap, too) but there's fierce competition for Chevy stuff. Also, I've heard on multiple occasions that Chevy doesn't build trucks; They build cars with pick up beds. 30 year old Dodge trucks are extremely rare. I take that as a sign. Old Ford trucks are plentiful, the parts are cheap, they're easy to work on and they're durable.
