Scroll up. My daily driver is a Ford. But, my "toy" is a Chevy. If I had to choose, between one of them, it would be Chevy. Mostly because it is so easy to work on a Chevy and the parts are so inexpensive. Plus, everything interchanges on a Chevy small block. Can you say the same about 302 to a 351 to a 289, etc? Fords just aren't meant for the weekend hobbyist. The only thing Ford I would put in a play toy would be a 9 inch rear end. The rest just makes a good paper weight.  ;D

With all that said, this is just for "toys". I wouldn't mind owning a Navigator or a F-350.

GM out sells ford every year, chevy and gmc are the same truck remember that ford owners forget that. chevy's and gmc have better resale value than ford. fords drive like crap look like it and sound like it, chevy's are about 10 years up in technology. chevy had independed front suspension sence 1988 ford just recently got it, ever heard of ''on star'' or ''four wheel steering'', the list can keep going and now a full size hybrid.        WANT A TRACTER BUY A FORD !  WANT  CLASS AND RELIABILITY BUY G.M.

Wrong again. I posted the actual numbers on here one time before but for some reason they not on here any more. Ford says that the F-Series is the best selling truck in its class but what they don't tell you is that the F-Series goes all the way up to an F-750. They also count Chevy and GMC as different models. GM out sells all of them. The Silverado and Sierra only goes to a 3500 series then they call there larger trucks by a different name like Kodiac.

Just pushin' buttons here with the rivalry .
Doesnt matter what brand you favor they all have pro's and con's .

I got a 75 chevy k10 4wd  that Ive had for 23 years now and has been the most reliable truck i've ever owned.

As  for the Dodge I am on my 2nd Dodge Diesel duallly , great truck pulls, a load with ease.
Its an 05' with a diesel and a 6 spd .

So that's why Chevy reported a month ago that it lost 1 billion dollars? It was on CNN or MSN.  Oh and what happened to the camaro? Lack of sales brought that chitbox to it's demise. And Chevy is 10 years advanced in technology? LMFAO. Then why have they stuck a damn pushrod 350(LS1/LT1) in every sports car they make? Remember the LT4(I think that was the one)? First late model corvette with a DOHC motor. They couldn't design a good cooling system to the heads and the cams kept seizing? Ford is far more advanced. Look at all the new age motors they have created. 4.6 SOHC/DOHC, 5.4 SOHC/DOHC the new 4.6/5.4 3 valve engine, V10(in some full size trucks and vans. And lets not forget the powerstroke line of engines. 

And the heads on a 302 does fit on a 351. The F150 is the most selling truck. Do a google and you'll see.

Yes I own 2 Ferds(cobra and f150) but my wife owns a camaro. I've had more problems in 8 months with that car than I have had on my cobra since I bought it over 6 yrs ago. My truck I bought recently hasn't gave me any problems so far.  -Mark

1= "So that's why Chevy reported a month ago that it lost 1 billion dollars? It was on CNN or MSN." Answer= Yea, if they lost so much then how could they have given away 1,000 new GM vehicles last year and this year with the Onstar Hotbutton Promotion, and how could they have given away almost 300 Pontiac G6's on the Opera Winfrey show. When was the last time any other manufacterer rather American or import gace anything like that away. How much big money advertising do you see GM doing compared to all ther others manufactureres. If they were losing so much money then they could not do that.

2="Oh and what happened to the camaro?". Answer= Yes they did do away with the Camaro but watch out. When they removed it GM said they were doing away with the CURRENT GENERATION Camaro. Key word current. I do beleive that they are working on a NEXT Generation but they won't say until their ready to bring it out. Thats my opinion on that. Ford does have a nice car in a Mustang with this new one, thats for sure.

3="And Chevy is 10 years advanced in technology? LMFAO. Then why have they stuck a d**n pushrod 350(LS1/LT1) in every sports car they make? Remember the LT4(I think that was the one)? First late model corvette with a DOHC motor." Answer= I don't beleive there is a motor out there any better then the GM 350 cubic inch or the 4.3 liter V6 engine on the market available. Even Ford people have to admit that. You can do almost anything to them and get all kinds of HP out of them so I personally think that GM is going wrong by getting rid of such fine engines. They now have a 6.0 liter in the Corvette and a mustang cannot touch it. Sorry

4="Ford is far more advanced. Look at all the new age motors they have created. 4.6 SOHC/DOHC, 5.4 SOHC/DOHC the new 4.6/5.4 3 valve engine, V10(in some full size trucks and vans. And lets not forget the powerstroke line of engines. " Answer= The Ford 4.6 liter has been out since like 1998. Why did they do away with the 5.0. HUH. Chevy has had new engines in there trucks since 1999. The new engine have 6 bolt mains, not 2 or 4. Can Ford say that.  GM also was the first to put a coil for every cylinder. As for a V-10, I'm glad  GM didn't go there. Ford was just following Dodge on that one. Where are all of them now. As for a Diesel, Gm now has 625 foot lbs of torque in their 2006 models and are quieter then anyone on the market. Ford did have a good 7.3 diesel but lets not get into the problems with the 6.0 powerstroke. You would not like it.

5="And the heads on a 302 does fit on a 351." WOOHOO< the heads off a 305 will fit a 350 what is your point there.

6="The F150 is the most selling truck." Answer=Wrong, the F series truck outsells any other truck in its class. I explained this to you. The F-Series goes up to a F-750, General Motors sold more trucks than any other manufacturer on the market.
