Actually, Delphi bought two Ford Super Duties to test against the Chevy 2500s and the Ford tested them out on several capacities. This comes straight from a "GM for life" relative. :o He was very surprised himself. :o
I have owned Fords since I started driving 20 years ago and haven't had any issues with any of them. It's like atvs, it's all in how you take care of them that counts!

The wholesale parts you sell, are they performance parts by any chance? I will say that Fords off the lot are way under powered than their SAFE capabilities. ::)

Just stock replacement, nothing high performance.
my f150 was the funnest vehicle i owned i bought it brand new and sold it w/ 15k on the clock though but it was still a little slow even w/ a kn filter and flowmasters my mom has a 5.4 and it was still pretty slow
GM's have the best resale value. :Fp

i also had a mazda pickup/ranger had it in water up to the windshield and left it there for a day and a half and all i did was chnge the distributor and plugs and it was back in business too bad it took me 2 months to figure what was wrong w/ it by that time i had another dd oh and the radio was never the same lol

Do you have facts to back that?
ya drive a down your street and count em sometime
atleast here in brevard id say 3 out of every 4 trucks you see are ford especially f250

It's a known fact, more like common sense, that their are more domestic trucks on the road versus imported trucks. Ford is probably the most popular. Whether it is a old beat to sh*t 70's highboy to a 08 PSD CrewCab with 8" lift monster. I can go stand in front of my house and count more Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks (cars too) than Toyota, Isuzu, Nissan, etc... and I'm talking just the driveways.

i would say that there are more Fords too. the Ford Superduties way out sell the others. or maybe its because chevy and dodge break down so often i never see them. if i had to get a domestic truck it would be a Ford. but i dont so i drive Toyotas.

I'm talking about
1/2 ton trucks
both my uncles have farms in ohio even though 1 swears by international harvester and 1 by john deere they both admit fords are the most popular truck and they use and abuse there trucks my 1 uncle had his spare tire on the passenger floor of his ranger or you woulda fallen out a 2ft rust hole in it but it was still runnin strong and doin farm work at 20 yrs old but i do see alot more dodge/chev. up there than down here
When it come to make of truck, ford is the leading seller in light duty trucks. But when it comes to Manufaturer. GM sells the most. Its like this, when you put Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra combined, then GM outsells the competition.

I couldn't find any stats by state/region, only trucks in total, so I don't have proof other than living the 1st 20 years of life in the north, and the last 20 down here.

thats cause there on the side of the road
ford does not have the best selling pick up... gm does, they say the f150 is the most sold pickup ever becasue they compare the sales to chevy OR gmc, not gm 1/2 tons as a whole... there aren't more fords on the road is what im getting at. and if you say you have more people buying factory parts for fords than anything else than wouldnt that meen that they are breaking more? lol

yes, this whole thread is a joke. its pointless. everyone will say what they drive is better and defend it no matter what. i drive a toyota and always will (unless they start to break). so, i say toyota is better. you say checy s better cause you drive one. if we did a search to find threads like this on quads and trucks, there would probably be over a hundred. and they all turn out the same.

I personally have never understood the brand thing. To me what matters is what kinda deal you can get and if your truck does what you want it to then it shouldnt matter what logo is stamped on the front of it. I drive an old ford f150 and so far its been great. Just happen to come across a good deal on it. Its not like ford makes wondermobiles and gmc and everyone else makes turds. Fact is that today the market is so competitive that all the trucks from the major manufactures are good. If they werent then they would go out of business very quickly. Thats why i voted for 8 different brands. 8)

ford and dodge are on the way out. trucks were keeping ford alive and they just cut production on them. noone is gonna buy one now. soon it will be toyota and gm ruling the industry (well, they already are, i think they are the two top leading in total sales).
Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are both great trucks. They last long and are built well. They get pretty decent gas milage. Too bad gas is so high I wanted to see Toyota make a dually
fox, your wrong about the whole people just say what they drive is the best. thats not true. iv been a chevy guy since before i could drive, i bought a chevy because thats what i like. i dont defend it simply becasue i drive one. for example, i have a kawi kfx400, but i honestly dont think its the best quad out there...
Dodge w/Cummins.......no better truck out there period.

cummins is one of the best diesels out there... its a shame that your stuck with the dodge truck if you want one lol
I hate these debates because I believe it doesn't matter what you drive just take care of it (as far as trucks go) I have seen all the above manufacture go 300,000 miles with people who take care of their trucks. On another note I hate to go along with "fads" and what I mean by that is all these 16 year olds out driving around in a lifted (sky high) diesel just because it "looks and sounds cool" (have you ever had to work or play out of a truck lifted... not fun) People seem to go on other peoples words instead of really sitting down and researching on your own. Word of mouth is good BUT ultimately YOU are making the payments get what you want! Just my 2 cents
i personally think all newer vehicles are getting crappier my moms 04 250 held up better interior wise than her 07 150 but my 1990 bronco was better than either of em paint loose knobs faded dash etc wise i drive an 04 chevy 3500 at work that has 89k miles on it and its worse/less reliable than my 88 fullsize blazer was i think manufacturers are realizing most people dont keep there vehicles nearly as long and are cutting corners using cheaper parts etc...
(http://autocognition.co.uk/ESW/Images/Ford_logo.jpg)
fords engine selection is crap imo. I wont go into detail as to why ford sucks, because they have a few good products, and it would cause a huge stupid argument anyways. chevy gets my vote.

that is very true, im not a ford fan but i can admit that the older ford trucks (early 90s) were very reliable, i just dont like them much. its all about what you like, HOWEVER there is a lack of technical knowledge ion this particular forum, so its not really fair to argue who makes the best truck when all you can say is you have owned one for a while and you like it... theres more to it than that. to most people its just about what looks better/more comfortable ect, becasue they will just trade it in in 2 years and who cares if it last forever...
I agree with you KFXr0b, there engine selection makes you shrug your soulders. As for the cummins in a dodge. You can also get a cummins or catepillar in a Ford, if you want.
I'm a Ford man....owned several with well over 120,000 miles, never had problems with any of 'em. Heck!! My Mom's 1993 Ford F150 has a better ride (suspension wise) than most all the NEW trucks out to date, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, GMC.
Currently driving a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE....love it, other than the harsh ride, but haven't had no problems so far w/125,000 miles.
Would like to have the new Tundra. The TRD has the best ride of any full size truck. This is hands down the best overall, and most reliable full size truck going.
Again...I'm a Ford man, driving a GMC, and wanting the new Tundra. ;D
They are ALL good trucks, just some better than others. ;)
That just looks goood!! Thanks!

They circled the problem. LOL
obvious oval :o
I don't know about the tundra. If your just going to be using it as a daily driver sure. Those things are fast to. But If you really wanted to beat on it, I dont think so. Plus they have the weakest frame. Watch this short test on the suspension.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWjTbiYo3x0
the tundra is a piece of junk... thats nothing new to me. the real competition is Chevy vs ford. the fact is when you buy a Chevy, you have more than just a "truck engine" the after market is endless. you buy an f150 and you get the triton 5.4... nothing special. you buy a Chevy 1500 and you get an ls based engine, and if you dont know the advantage of having an engine like an ls2 6.0, or the smaller 5.3.. well then you just dont get it, you must be a ford owner lol
like i said, theres far more to it than "my dads ford lasted forever becasue it was an inline 6, ford must be the best!"

the tundra is a piece of junk... thats nothing new to me. the real competition is Chevy vs ford. the fact is when you buy a Chevy, you have more than just a "truck engine" the after market is endless. you buy an f150 and you get the triton 5.4... nothing special. you buy a Chevy 1500 and you get an ls based engine, and if you dont know the advantage of having an engine like an ls2 6.0, or the smaller 5.3.. well then you just dont get it, you must be a ford owner lol

I agree with you. It's nice to see someone look at both sides of the issue. Ford needs to do away with the underpowered 5.4 330. They are supposedly going to have a 6.2L option in the near future. But you won't see it on the 09's. My dad works at Gulf Coast Ford, and most of my family has Fords for the exceptions of a few BMW's and good ol chevy's. My dad used to have a 1970 boss 302, along with 3 other corvettes over a period of time. But I get nothing but hell, seeing I drive a dodge pickup >:(. Sometimes, they make me park around back.

I'm a Ford man....owned several with well over 120,000 miles, never had problems with any of 'em. Heck!! My Mom's 1993 Ford F150 has a better ride (suspension wise) than most all the NEW trucks out to date, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, GMC.
Currently driving a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE....love it, other than the harsh ride, but haven't had no problems so far w/125,000 miles.
Would like to have the new Tundra. The TRD has the best ride of any full size truck. This is hands down the best overall, and most reliable full size truck going.
Again...I'm a Ford man, driving a GMC, and wanting the new Tundra. ;D
They are ALL good trucks, just some better than others. ;)
If thats true then ya dont wanna read what consumers reports said about them ::)
a 93 f150 has a solid front axle, so how in the world can you say that rides better than your ifs chevy?
In my book Dodge make a good truck specially with Cummings engines...Had a Dodge '04 2500 SB Laramie 4x4 Cummings w/ 97k traded for New '08 3500 DRW LB Laramie 4x4. Did not have a problem with the 04 and we tow 41' toyhauler 18k lbs. Bought a new truck because the market was right and still got $18k for the '04...also the previous truck was not big enough for the toyhauler...we were border line on the towing wgt.
To be honest, we liked the Ford Super Duty 350 Duallys but we were hesitant about all the stories we were hearing about the diesel engines. Didn't want to get stuck with eng problems in the middle of a trip.
ford and chevy is where its at
Tundra owner here. I can definitely confirm that it's a piece of junk. My wifes Tahoe is the nicest truck I ever drove.

If you're talking about 1/2 ton trucks, Ford is junk comperd to GM.
I have owned Fords since I started driving 20 years ago and haven't had any issues with any of them. It's like atvs, it's all in how you take care of them that counts!
I totally agree ! we own 4 Fords - 03 Expedition, 04 F150, 91 Bronco & 95 F250 - the 03 & the 95 have over 120,000 miles on them & the 95 has run the Playpen at RR many many times .... You just cant kill'em .... Granted they brake but each time its not been over a $50.00 repair ....
the key to 500,000 miles + in a ford is maintenance ..... maintenance..... maintenance .....
Tonka makes the best truck......PERIOD.
get whatever you like best ive never had a dodge but a friend had one of the hemis and it was pretty durable my mom had the 5.4 ford as well as the 6.0 td both good but the 6.0 was awesome it had 150k hard hard miles on it oil changed ever 5-6k miles [not my choice] but other than that exhuast sensor recall kept going out probably cuz it was under water alot and a leaking water pump we never had a problem
I am going to have to go with Anoriginal - TONKA TRUCKS RULE! :Fp
FORD [><]
:Fp
definately chevy or gmc, theyre some of the longest lastin fulltime pickups if ya take care of em
