I have a 99 Ford truck and a 92 chevy truck. Both are dependable trucks. Both have always had the oil changed at 3,000 miles. Our fleet at the company is about an equal split between Fords and Chevys. Our long time mechanic will tell you he has aobut the same amount of problems out of each. He will also tell you that there are certian year models of Ford and Chevy to stay away from due to cronic problems with certian years. Fact is some Fords are better than Chevys and some Chevys are better than Fords. It all boils down to preference. Out back is right, They are all overpriced and are just a piece of equipment made to perform a task. I did pay way too much to have my Chevy repainted last year and it looks great, but really who cares? its just a truck to haul dead deer in.
