It cracks me up when people bag on Fords. I will race my Ford pickup against any factory gas engine pickup. I will race any gas vehicle, if you let me choose the course. It's not a rock crawler, but just about any other terrain, it will absolutely dominate.
As for breakdowns, I have a fleet of thirty Fords, and have had exactly 4 that have left anyone stranded in about 2 million miles of driving. They were all diesels. And one of them was a driver that blew up a Dana 80 in a one ton truck. They are not treated gently.

It's just all in fun...don't take it seriously. It's the typical Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge. Been going on my whole life.

Agree with this 100% For the lucky sob that don't have a problem with they don't have to deal with Chrysler and there bs. As for me love my Jeep but this is the last Chrysler product I get. I'm not one of the lucky sob lol

Company I just worked for had a few hundred in their fleet (oil company) anywhere from diesel to gas. They are now replacing all of them with dodges. There might be about 20% of them that haven't been majorly worked on.

I wouldn't do that. My dad's work did the same thing. Went from ford to dodge. They broke all the time. Front end and suspension / trans problems. Switched to chevy and even more problems. They are now back to ford

That is curious, because that hasn't been my experience. I have a bunch of Fords, and they have been exceptionally reliable, especially since they idle all day and carry a 525 gallon water tank.
