F 150
Limped home a few times (no thanks to Operator Error) but always got/gets me home.
Hard to beat an F150 IMHO
You did better than I did with our blasted Aerostar....total garbage; I'd honestly never even consider another Ford product after the $10,000 hit I took when I unloaded it 18 months after purchase.
Fool me once....
My F150 van has never stranded me either. As you said, it might limp home but it always makes it. Ford made a good one when they made mine - 260,000 miles and going strong!
