Posted September 17, 200816 yr what do you like and why? Edited September 17, 200816 yr by F-150 Murphy
September 17, 200816 yr I drive a Ford, but I'm not a raving Ford fan...it gets the job done, that's all I ask
September 17, 200816 yr Chevy for sure! the Chevelle, Camaro, Corvette... those are some reasons why..
September 17, 200816 yr ford is the most stable company.Their products... As Jim said, get the job done. I have had more issues with GM and Chev, and they have cost more to fix when that time comes. There are some nice vehicles from both GM/chev brand.
September 17, 200816 yr Never have had any issues with either, except for the Dex Cool they put in the later model Chevy's. Stay on track with regularly scheduled maintenance and they'll usually run forever from my experience...
September 17, 200816 yr General Motors. IMO most there vehicles look nicer than fords, especially the trucks. I would buy a 2000+ mustang though.Plus I've grown up with GMs all my life.. Edited September 17, 200816 yr by Gearstix
September 17, 200816 yr well... i dont tow many fords... take it for whats its worth... but i do tow ALOT of gm's ALOT! too many... and many man with less then 5000 miles on them i have even towed a few with under 100 miles.

September 17, 200816 yr I would say ford is a bit less popular the further south you go. Here in MN almost every truck is a ford. Lost of mustangs, not so many vettes if we're talking flagship fast cars. Just from what I have seen. Half the family up here all own expeditions mercury SUVs or the Sable, etc.More souther half all own GMC/chev.A bit interesting... but I would say in my experience completely generalized based on no facts(uless you count economic stability) and verry influenced by my ford.... ford>GM
September 17, 200816 yr i agree... in the north it seems you see alot of fords... and the south IS CHEVY for sure lol... my boss is a chevy man... blah blah blah.... for the past 2 months he has been driving a ranger:P cause he has 4 chevy personal cars and thay all were broke down lol.. i told him BUY A LINCOLN.
September 17, 200816 yr my ford could own your gmc:]Thats because I have a 4 cylinder and you have a V6 or V8... and I don't care if your truck is faster than mine... my stereos gunna be louder than your wimply little kicker shallow 10.I'm not going to argue whats better, because any forum no matter what its about has this discussion and it seems to be an all out brawl.
September 17, 200816 yr I am a Chevy guy but I am driving a Dodge Ram. I decided to buy the Dodge because it has a solid axle with coil springs up front. I used to do a lot of rock crawling in Arizona so it handled the abuse very well. The 360ci engine has quite a bit of pep to it as well.
September 17, 200816 yr all cars will get the job done for the most part as long as u keep up the maintenace imo..Ford and chevy vans have gotten my family to Louisiana and back to Indiana many a time.I have a lincoln dad has a lincoln, brother had a jeep cherokee, my has a mercury village i think, girlfriend has a grand am/gran prix.all of these btches have broke down at some point in time, lolmy tranny went out 2x, jeep needs new rods and crank, moms powe steering pump went, and girls fuel pump..... So I'm thinkin american cars might just be the problem, lol..Have never owned a foreign car, but then again i like to work on cars too

I do this a lot, and this is no joke: Usually 4 out of 5 of them will be a GM vehicle less than 5-6 years old. I know you think, so what, it's a headlight. Well, initial quality covers the whole vehicle. If the headlight is out, who knows what else is not up to par.I drive an Explorer.

September 18, 200816 yr I rarely see GMs with burnout lights.I see alot of newer dodges with burnt out lights.. due to the lights turning on and off with the signals.
