Actually, I don't know that the Fords and Chevys were better vehicles. They were perhaps a little more refined and had more bells and whistles, but I don't know that that makes them "better". I know Chevys ride smoother, but like I posted before, if I want a smooth ride, I'll drive a car. If you've got live axles and an 8600 lb GVWR, it's going to ride a little rough. I know Dodges have a reputation for being clunky and such, but I have a '92 that I bought with 13,000 miles on it in '95. I put 63,000 miles on it before I wrecked it in '97, and the cab was still as tight as the day I bought it, with no rattles and such. And they weren't all highway miles, as I lived in the country and drove around 30 miles of backroads to work every day for 6 or 7 months of that time. That truck is currently awaiting a complete rebuild from the ground up, as I know I can repair it and have a truck as good as any brand new one with the same capabilities for about $25,000 less. I actually prefer those cabs to the newer ones. If you want a cab with pushbutton everything, by all means go with a Ford or Chevy in that vintage. If you want a rock-solid truck that you can work on yourself, is reliable and not overloaded with gadgets, you can't beat the Dodges.
