hardly... in this part of the country, yuh cain't give away a Ford... most folks want a Chevy, and everyone wants a Dodge... just hold their value better... I find that Fords are higher maintenance as well...

Well, given muh druthers, I'd go with a Dodge. They just didn't offer me the same deal. You'd about have to put a gun to my head to make me ever buy another Chevy. But you gotta remember, mine won't be as much of a work truck as yours.

Both trucks I've owned have been Fords. But the smaller ones. I had a Ford Courier for awhile before I bought my Civic. Then I bought a 1983 Ford Ranger at the church yard sale and drove it 'til the engine blowed up.

This one ain't mine yet. I've been talking financing back and forth today. Gonna go by and look at it tonite. It's mighty spendy.

But, the 95 Mercury Sable that I'm driving acts like it's been stuck with a Mordor blade. It won't never completely heal. I've replaced the engine and the transmission. And the transmission is acting mighty stubborn again.

~IF~ I get the truck, I'll either keep the Sable for Jr. to learn to drive and then trade it in on something respectable for him...More than likely I'll donate it to the Kidney Foundation for the tax write off. Dealer said he ~might~ be able to give me $500 for it.
