I have an F-150 with 90k miles and no problems yet.

And I have a 1998 Ford Expedition SUV with 196,000 miles and still running like a charm. Conversely every GM product I have owned (Olds Cutlass, Pontiac 6000, Chev Lumina, Pontiac Grand Am) have been complete dogs. I have literally replaced the entire vehicles with major repairs & maintenance. I will never buy another GM product again, especially now that they are GM (Gubmint Motors) products.
FUBO!!!

I retired my ‘94 Sururban with 262,000 miles on it. Ran it hard as a work vehicle, and it racked up a lot of miles over the couple of years before we finally moved from the Puget Sound area to the north Idaho woods. Drove over here almost every other weekend to work on the place.

I've owned two GM vehicles -- a '79 Caddy sedan and (currently) a '96 Tahoe. No problems at all with either. But I wouldn't buy anything new from them.

In a way I have to agree. Just now replacing the engine on my C2500 with 568,000 miles. Hope I get the same out of the new engine. One transmission at 370,000, about 5 alternators, and two radiators. Not too bad.

I wouldn't own a GM car, but GMC trucks have always been quality vehicles IMHO. I have two GMC trucks, one is a 1999 with 235,000 miles and the other is a 2005 with 112,000 miles.

Never had a lick of trouble out of the 1999 until a couple of weeks ago when I mentioned giving it to my daughter when we buy a new one, then the oxygen sensor went out the very next day. I told hubby "truck is angry" (Poltergeist II movie reference), LOL! We got it fixed for less than $200 through a neighbor.

I had to replace the wheel bearings on the 2005 after 95,000 miles. Other than that, not a bit of trouble out of either vehicle. We also owned another GMC truck prior to that and never had any trouble out of it. The only Ford we have owned was a 1986 Tempo and that was a total POS.

My late Dad was a GM employee...non-union, he risked his life to cross the picket lines many times...and while I am not happy with the bailout and bankruptcy, I will continue to buy GMC trucks for their quality. Sorry, but I won't spend that much money on a vehicle that has to last me at least 5 years based on emotions.

However, I do agree with your comment "FUBO!!".

My ‘97 F150 has 258,000 miles and is still going strong. It’s been a workhorse.

Drove a 1971 Chevy C15(00) SWB, 250 Straight Six, Standard Trans on the column for 350,000 miles. Guy I sold it to still drives it.

Drove 1993 K1500 for 230,000 miles. Never used oil, other than the initial half quart. Only problem was in the transmission, at about 120,000 miles which was a silent recall and was fixed gratis. Sold due to a collision (12 yr old driving his sister's car) that was never fixed right.

Currently driving a 2002 K1500 at 180,000 miles. This one is an automatic and the trans needs a rebuild finally.

I have friends who swear by fords and have driven them just as long. Both companies make good trucks.

My next truck will probably be a ford if Chevrolet is still government owned at that time.

My 2003 Ford Focus has almost 120K miles on it, still feels and runs like new.

I can't count the number of Cheve Surburbans and Tahoes I have had ever since it was a 3 door crew truck and I have never had a problem with any of them. I do trade them off before they reach 100,000 miles so maybe they give out on down the road, but I take good care of them and have scheduled maintenance. My 2009 Tahoe may be my last because it is Government Motors now and that makes me sad. I am pretty old and who knows, my kids may take my drivers license away from me before I need a new Tahoe.
