I own two Fords, [ 88 Mustang GT Vert, & 97 f-150 ] they are both dependable, easy to work on, good looking rides.
In the past ,I have owned several F-150's & all were good trucks.
My mother was a big Galaxy 500 & LTD Fan.
Dad swore by the F-150's Pick up, so that is my story & I'm sticking to it.

 

Moved to the proper forum. General Conversation is for non-automotive discussion only.

 

I've owned a lot of mustangs in my life so that was the biggest reason I drove Fords. So once I got older I naturally drove a Ford truck. My wife drives mustangs now and we just got my son started off right in a 95 F150 4x4.

 

I bought my last two Fords because they were a good price for a solid truck.

I know this makes me a "black sheep" on this board, but I really don't have a preference of Ford over Chevy, or vice-versa. Both have made some great vehicles, and both have made their fair share of dogs.

 

yeah i like that year body style also...i had an 84 extened cab long bed...and it was a really goodlooking truck

 

It's kind of like asking 'how much does it cost'. If you have to ask, well, you just don't understand.

Actually I think it was becuase I was exposed to many late 60's early 70's Ford cars in my formative years.

 

My dad always bought Ford trucks when I was a kid, so I've always thought Ford trucks were the best way to go!

 

The only Ford I ever owned was a 1949 coupe (my very first car) that my sister gave me when I graduated from high school back in 1961. Right now I am seriously thinking about buying an F-150 XLT. This may be the last vehicle I own. Talk about a "full circle"!!!

 

Ford guy cause I was raised that way, but also with good reason...My father was a chevy guy for a while, till he went to owning several(C20, caprice, nova) and noticed that not only were all the parts identical, they weren't of a good quality. The same parts would break all the time and dad got sick of it. GM didn't fix the problems, they just made more replacement parts and they stuck with the same parts for years- cheaper for them. Ford on the other hand, changes a part when it doesn't work right, and designs a new part(sometimes they take this a little too far though, it can be a little rediculous when the steering box takes different fitting in each of a '77 '78 and '79 Tbirds- I know from experience!)Moral of the story- I'm more of a quality guy than a cost efficiency guy!

I had a Mercury Cougar (with no reverse) and my Current Aerostar. Both were cheap.

 

my dad bought a GM in 1981... first and last chevy he ever owned... bought a mustang 5.0 after that, mom had a tempo, then an explorer, taurus wagon, got an escort hatchback for us kids 9 years ago my sister still drives

then around 1990 my dad gets a chevy from a car rental place. we'd been driving for about 4 hours when he got this sick deja vu... chevy was still putting in the same cheap *** clock in the instrument panel and the same sliding seat they were 10 years ago

 

hahahahaha- so you know what I mean

Well I came home in the back of a 71 mustang from the hospital as a baby, father always had a ford, at age 15 when getting time for a car I drove that same '71 mustang out of a field after jumping it off and some fresh gas, drove it for half a year....always had friends w/ chevy vehicles ragging on it but there seemed to be no GMs in my school or dodges for that matter that didnt break down unlike the stang...then I picked up my 3 year daily driver '66 stang, not done any major work to it, hell original interior....never left me stranded...got another 71 grande....its a work in progress but drives and hasnt let me down even if it looks like a clunker....always knew ford trucks to be the absolute toughest things on the planet, dream truck list consists of a 77 F-150 4x4 shortbed single cab...well I got that a year ago and now I just need a '77 Bronco and a supercrew shortbed 4x4 73-79 of any type. Then I had to go to school and was working on my '66s transmission after I finally decided to swap in a slightly stronger engine and didnt get done in time so I went to the car lot and decided I didnt care what I got really as long as it had a blue oval....got a great cant be busted 2000 ranger which i'm driving off and on between the mustang. Had an '85 GT t-top car too....I'll never own a non-Ford, doing so would be insane.

 

actually I use to be all GM until 1972. then its been Ford all the way, I got totally turned on by the 73-79 ford f-series trucks and haven't looked at a chev since. I presently have a 78 bronco and 94 f150 my son took over my 77 f150 4x4

 

My father drives Fords, my grandfather drove Fords, all my uncles drive Fords.
I didn't know the even made other vehicles for the first half of my life. I bought my first Ford because that was all I knew. I'd look under the hood of an old F series and know exactly what I was looking at. If I popped the hood on something else I'd just go "huh, look at that". Now, after a couple of years and a number of other vehicles I realize why my father drives Fords, my grandfather drove Fords, all my uncles drive Fords...
