Wonder how the Fords have treated you?

I was all Ford until about 2005, when they started having little stuff go wrong.

My experience with Dodges: the engines are the bomb, but the electronics/dashboard/details can make you crazy.

Fiat, not Dodge.

“Wonder how the Fords have treated you?”

I felt I had no choice for what we do with trucks, which is haul a camper. I hated Ram styling and would not have a Chevy due to the obama screw job, even if one were given to me.

We started with a 2011 F150 and it was fairly reliable with more power than we needed.

We got a 2018 last April and have over 20,000 miles on it. Love the 10 speed and the 370 HP V8. It’s very comfortable.

The 2011 developed rear end noise. The 2018 just got it. With the 2011 it was pinion bearings. Haven’t taken the 2018 in yet. If it does in fact have gear or bearing trouble, I might go for a 2019 Ram after it’s fixed.

The dashboard/electronics do take some getting used to.
