I guess i have stuck with what I grew with for the most part. Dad did have a Ford pickup when I was very young, sold it and bought a Chevy truck, and owned one till he
passed. I am not in my mid 50's, and have to say I have always owned a Chevy truck since I was old enough to buy my first. I did purchase a old Ford truck last December -
was actually looking for a 67-72 Chevy, but "settled" and the Fords seem easier to find and less expensive, and I located a unmolested all original truck although it has sat
for 25 years un-started (wish me luck). Dad owned both a Ford tractor as well as an IH, and always preferred the IH, and I still own both that he had when he passed, along
with another Ford tractor. Ironically my daily driver to/from work, is a Toyota Camry, and as much as I hate to admit it, is probably the best vehicle I have ever owned. I
find it interesting to hear some reasons why some decide to move to another brand - most seem to have forgotten that Chrysler also received government money to bail them out.
If you look hard enough, they all have had some skeletons in the closet figuratively speaking. Sometimes it is one vehicle that leaves a bad taste.......I had this with a
Honda my son owned, and found out that that particular model of Honda had very weak transmissions and rarely lasted more than 60,000 and Honda informed me that you must change
the tranny fluid at least once every 30K or risk failure......What?.....I have had vehicles that had 200K on the tranny without issue. So I admit I will never own a Honda
based solely on that one bad experience that cost me dearly, even though I know they are not all what I consider defective. Probably best to get a bicycle to avoid somehow
getting one that has a weak point or the manufacturer has received money from the government or a foreign entity. Just my 2 cents.
