I can probably thank my grandpa for gettin the family started in Fords. My grandparents had 6 kids so their vehicles of choice were chevy station wagons. Big 4 doors. Then he started buying big caddies. He had so much trouble with his caddies that he switched to Lincolns and the kids followed when they were older. My dad always had Fords and worked at a Ford tractor dealership so my brother and I followed him. Lots of stangs, cougars and trucks in our family over the yrs. Still have pretty much all of them still, havnt really gotten rid of any of them. I've been around Fords all my life but I just cant see myself in another brand. Fords just got all the right reasons to drive one. Pretty much have the truck market, commercial market, and the stang is still THE pony car to beat. I do have a Ford tattoo so yea haha. IF I did have to buy another truck, it would be a Dodge diesel hands down. I wouldnt even think of a GM. Just the way my family is. Kinda like the war between the Hatfields and McCoys, only its Ford vs Chevy here haha. Henry Ford is my hero!

uh, i was looking at 2nd gens because i drove a 97 dodge 1500 as my first truck, still have it and love it. but as i was looking i saw some first gens, started looking at them. Decided i loved the square bodies, and now i have one. I'm going to get another truck once i get settled in at a job after graduation. I will be picking up either a commonrail dodge or a dirtymax. I don't know why, but i don't like powerstrokes, but i do like the old IDI's.

Originally I was a ford guy. First "truck" was a 94 Eddie Bauer Bronco, I was in love lol. AFter getting a little age I had a chevy (gas burner) but it was a great truck too. Then I ended up turning wrenches at a Dodge dealer and the love of the Cummins started......To date I've had three so far in my years and have loved them all for diff reasons. At one point I almost bought an 05' 6.0 Furd....but after a few days of thinking and talking to friends that are ford mechanics, I just got scared lol. So purchased my current 05 Dodge and never looked back. My only complaint about my truck would be the front end components..

ah, i really don't have a brand. My family for the most part are ford fans, my papaw broke away and bought a Chevrolet back in 79. He had Chevrolet's until 03, when he got tired of fixing his 6.5 Chevy diesel. He then bought a 03 ram 3500 HO Cummins 6-speed 4x4 dually. I have loved that truck since he bought it, the only problem i have with it is, he won't let me drive it.
