Well, you certainly put up a convincing argument. I like the balanced, concise reporting. 










If it ain't a Toyota...it'll be a Ford in my garage. (Sorry fordh8r)

I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this subject, there is always something with these things I have vowed never to own one again. I've punished myself long enough, Ford used to make a great product and I used to love their reliablility but my recent Ford's have been less than stellar. I loved my 60 pickup, I loved my 61 van' I loved my 68 Mustang convertable, I loved my 71 LTD convertable, I thought my 80 Futura was ok, my 81 Granada was ok too, my 95 Escort was junk, my 2002 Ranger was a POS from day 1, and my 2002 Fukus did just that from day one until the motor blew up last month. Notice the trend here?  Old Ford's are cool, new Ford's suck ass.

  unfortunately, its not just the Ford's.  I think I can safely say all of the American motor companies have headed down the same road in quality and reliability.

ha ha... i owned a ford once...it was a big truck...it looked mean... it proubley woulda sounded bad 2 if you coulda herd it over the sound of the fire extingusher and my girlfriends screaming!!!

I've owned several Fords and have never had a lick of trouble out of any of them...granted, I've never had a 6ltr PSD. I'd lop off a nard to have one of the new ones...F450 in town or at Lowes!

[jimbo74]

all my fords have been pretty stout.... my 96 explroer has a couple issues right now, but its also got 208k on it

Maybe they should quit assembling them in mexico.

ford really screwed up the 6.0 diesel. the standard repair list for the 1st 30k miles is frieking unreal!
7.3L, great. 6.0, i wouldnt drive it if it was given to me.

sorry to hear that.  Go change the air filter in a 6.0 and report back.

Of course, all this being said, I'm looking at getting one.    for my $$, my requirements, and my wants, Ford is the best bag for my buck right now

all I can say is if you get a 6.0, do yourself a favor, and get the aftermarket air filter kit for it.  I don't mean a K&N, napa/Wix has a paper filter replacement kit that makes it a simple affair to change and the filter itself is cheaper than the stock replacement.

I'm sure that was just a froidiant (sp) slip, but it seems very fitting

ya but your looking at the old 7.3L powerstroke with a stick shift, not a bad choice.
