I am definatly not a ford fan. Henry Ford said he could give a car to everyone for free and still make money on the parts he sold them. I believe it! I had a 1997 mercury sable(basically a taurus) fully loaded and that was the biggest pos I have ever owned . Contantly broke down. If I were not a mechanic we'd be in the poorhouse because of that car. I pesonally think that and the escort were made to break and suck the owner dry.
Chevy make the best fullsized deisel truck better engine, better tranny, better stronger frame = better truck IMHO
Look at the ford 6.0 liter diesel motors if you had one in your truck chances are ford replaced it before 100,000 miles they were so plagued with problems they changed to a different 6.4l engine after only being out for ~4 years. My buddy owns a few 6.0l and a couple of trucks with his business and said he will never buy another ford deisel again. Hes has replaced 2 6.0l deisels allready in his personal and one of his work trucks. The new 6.4l deisel is allready having problems and gets horrible fuel milage. The japanese based Isuzu base duramax is a proven design and has been out for along time even before they came to the USA in the HD chevy trucks. Even today it is the same basic design engine with some small changes since 1999 when it came out in the duramaxx hd line of trucks. Yes they have had problems also like injectors but I havent seen or heard of any complete engine failures because of faulty or poorly made components like a ford. As far as power is concerned a duramaxx is capable of turning out > 600+ hp and 1000ft # of torque if it is turned up. But if you want it to last obviously its not recommended. I alway look on the side of the road when driving and I have seriously noticed a majority of the cars are fords I wonder why?
