I’ve owned all three brands over the years, and based on experience, using these trucks as workhorses, i’ve found that:

The clutches and u-joints don’t hold up in chevy trucks,

The bodies on dodges rot away too fast in the upper midwest, along with manual tranny problems (GM and Dodge use the same MFR transmissions),

Fords have the worst brakes of any brand i’ve ever owned, and the modular engines aren’t worth the scrap metal they’re made from, and they get horrible mileage.

As for toyota and nissan, i never really considered them, mainly because they only make light duty pickups.

I’ve killed more pickups than most people have ever owned, and the current crop of trucks are all flash, and no substance, and way over priced for their intended purpose.

Then when getting parts, there seems to be no two alike. Even when you do get them fixed....it's still a Ford. Seems they found the problem, and circled it.

Maybe you can tell me....what are they for?
