I don't know if Ford is any better or worse than the others, either way the difference would be marginal. My point is that they all have glaring engineering and build quality issues. A lot of areas for improvement that you don't see in most other market segments, like midsize sedans. Truck buyers just aren't as picky I guess. It makes the Tundra a lot more appealing than it should be.

And yeah, rust was still an issue with Ram and GM into this decade here in the rust belt. Only time will tell if they have finally resolved that like everybody else did back in the '90s.

Again, F150 isn't perfect, and their are sporadic issues, but they don't get the repeat buyers they get because it is crap product.
