My '84 T-Bird is still running and serves as my backup car. It's been dependable, but I had another '84 T-Bird that was nothing but a constant series of technical problems that nickle and dimed me to death, and even my auto repair shop said those problems shouldn't occur if the car had been built right.

I have a '99 Ford Ranger. I love it. OTOH, My dad has a '97 Lincoln. Everybody hates it and service has been bad.

I'd consider getting a new Ford truck. I don't think I'd get a Ford car.
