I have a Toyota 1992 3.0 v6 4x4 and a Ford 2004 f250 super duty service truck(provided by my employer). I baby both of these trucks. The Ford has been in the shop numerous times, twice for check engine lights, a few other pidly little electrical problems and even left me stranded twice<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
. Despite my kindness, the Ford has been quite the pain in the behind. Youd think a 2 year old truck wouldnt have these problems so soon.
Between the FSM and the posts and links on this site, Ive gone from practicaly no knowledge to doing fairly advanced stuff to my Toyota in no time! Its always turned out easier that I imagined.
My point is, Id never consider buying a Ford!
