I traded in my 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 for my F150. The Genesis had weird electrical problems, weird things would stop working all the time, and then start working again. Before the Hyundai I had a 2008 BMW 335i which was an amazing car, other than all the problems it constantly had.

I have also had a 2000 Ranger xl long bed, '88 Mustang GT, 2000 Mustang GT, 2002 Saleen S281, 2003 Mustang GT making 430 RWHP with a Procharger. So after the couple of "luxury" cars, I figured I'd go back to my roots, and go back to the brand that was always most reliable for me.

I have had 2 BMW's and they are great cars in their own right. When I had my Procharged Mustang I raced a guy with a 335i and he blew my doors off, I was devastated. So, I sold the Mustang and bought my own 335i. I had a chip, exhaust, and intakes and the thing was an absolute animal

Oil leak after oil leak after oil leak. I was the second owner, and according to the warranty history the previous owner had the same problems with it. Then, as if that wasn't enough, it started running poorly, sometimes not wanting to start at all. From what I was told, they have big problems with carbon build up and they only get worse over time, and that causes them to run poorly. You can do carbon cleanings here and there, but it never really cleans it all out

An F-150 Supercrew 4wd, and before that...an F-150 Supercrew 4wd, and before that an F-250 4wd SC Super Duty (I went off the rails there, huh), and before that...an F-150 4wd, Supercab. I'm sensing a pattern

Traded my 2000 Tundra extended cab w 175,000 miles for my tuxedo black 2013 Limited Supercrew. I don't buy pickup trucks very often, but when I do, I want a very good one.

2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 loaded. Heated leather seats, Infinfity stereo, blah , blah. It was a pretty good truck, never left me standed, and I worked it hard. Last year hauled 30 ton of crushed stone, sometimes as much as a ton in the bed. Hope this 2013 EB is good too. Before I got the Ram I had a 1991 Ford 150 that had it's share of problems. Chevy/GMC never would "deal" so never owned one.
