yes, ultimately what it will probably come down to for me will be what is available in my price range and mileage. Like you say, for my needs, i will probably be okay either way. I guess my main concern is trying to identify models or years, if there are any, that need to be avoided.
i do expect a certain amount of bias towards Ford on this site but you do get some surprising answers sometimes when you talk to a fan of one make about another. The other night i was riding with a Dodge owner....he has a 1998 Ram 1500 and loves it. Says he hopes to keep it at least another 10 years. He then went on to say he has always been impressed with the F series. Quite frankly it was after that conversation that I came here.

Repairs done over 14 years , brakes, starter, ball joints, 2 power window motors, and one door lock solenoid. All done past 100,000 miles and 10 yrs. Oh and plugs. Stick with Ford.

I had a bunch of different Chevy trucks over a 10 or so period. I got a Ford this time as I just never warmed up to the Chevy redesign. Besides the Ford seems much tighter than Chevys.
