Ive had about 14 83-88 Ford Rangers in the past 7 years and only ONE blew the motor, but I bought it with a rod knocking so that was someone elses neglect there. Aside from the Rangers, Ive had 2 Dodges. An 87 Shadow that threw a rod and an 86 Daytona Turbo Z that went through a new top end in 8 months. The Turbo Z was awesome, but some butthead designer thought itd be cool to put an alluminum head on a turbo charged motor, making headgaskets a frequently replaced part.
The TurboZ was a cool car. It had 80s gadgets like digital dash and a trip console. MPG, Fuel used, miles, distance, ect... They dubbed it a 'Navigator'. Heres a pic below an 87 supercab I had.

being a professional truck and equipment mechanic...I work on EVERYTHING...petes, chevys, fords, hinos, autocars, oshkosh, caterpillar, deere, etc..............

Simplest terms: They are all junk. Nobody, including myself, is gonna make any money off something that is easy to work on and super reliable. Good maintenance, and a smart operator are the biggest factors in reliability.


That being said, i run gm pickups almost religiously. I have fooled with a few others in the past, though. Never had bad luck with any particular brand...But they all require work at some point, and i prefer older gm's (73-2000 particularly)

'MOPAR or No Car'


With that being said, I'm a MOPAR and Chevy man, with Pontiac coming a VERY close third.


There's a saying I've heard: 'There's Pontiac, and THEN there's GM'.



The ONLY reason I have my SHO is because Ford didn't build the engine, and the engine is running strong while all the Ford bits are nearly falling to pieces.


I've had to pull an F-350 Duallie out of the creekbanks TWICE! Same truck, big honking Ford, getting stuck in the rocks 20 feet away from the water on the banks, with an 89 Chevy Blazer with a 4.3 Vortec & Thrush exhaust. Two days in a row he was there, and he'd just sink and spin in the rock, so much weight he'd just dig holes.

For cars the Ford GT(don't see too many) and the dodge challenger 426 hemi(black and yellow).Love the punch the gas and your head gets whipped back feel.For trucks any 5.9 CUMMINS 12v or 24v and any 7.3l powerstroke gas trucks suck less power, reliabiltiy, value, mpg and so on.Chevy diesels have always sucked I have never seen one with more than 220000 miles so it might as well been a gas at least I'd give them a little more respect

[hillbilly 200x]

Chevy/GMC guy here. Most of my family works for GM so I drive what they make. I work on some ford now and then and I have to say that the newer ons are crap (2000 and up). A buddy of mine had dodges pick ups and it spend more time on my car trailer then it as worth. I love my chevys

dually's arent meant for off-road. You shouldnt even offroad an F-350 in general, they are way too heavy.They are meant for trailering. Any long-wheelbase truck that weighs 9000 pounds isnt going to go off-road well.

Dont blame the truck for the stupidity of the owner. I am a Ford guy all the way, and would take a blazer over a F-350 for off-road any day of the week. But lets see that Blazer tow a 15000 pound trailer.

[Mr_RPM]

I not really a fan of anything as for brand name. I go for particular models instead

I generally dont like new chevy's but I can respect what chevy has done and respect their 350 small block and other marvels they have made like the old school blazers.
Jeep, well if its not a wrangler its not a jeep =P
ford is just ford, mustangs being over played like a bad rap song. My dads f-150 gets the job done but isnt anything better then my friends other trucks.
Honda makes come amazing ATVs, but as for cars and trucks theres nothing other then their NSX that they dont make anymore.

every company has its ups and lows
