Don’t buy a Ford! All our work trucks are Fords and I have yet to have one get to 140,000 miles. We scrapped a 2012 truck in 2015 as it needed a new engine. Take my word for it.

Bought an expedition and had nothing but problems. My second Ford ever. First one was a late 90’s f150. Went and bought the wife a Nissan Armada. Never will get a Ford suv or truck in my lifetime again
Although the expedition isn’t a truck it is on the same chassis and has the same engine as a f150

First On Race Day! Wow, my '99 Superduty is coming close to 350K. 7.3 with a 6spd, freakin' love it! My 78 Bronco runs like a champ, might love that more! My wife's Flex freakin' rocks, and passes everything but a gas station! Of course I'm a big guy and don't fit in those tiny little imports anyhow.
Our Subaru is a POS, but it keeps running, if you slurp the oil out of the spark plug tubes every 10K. Best thing about it is the anti-hunters think I'm one of them! that and I can park it in the city and not give a crap what happens to it.

Will, we don’t buy them for the bells and whistles that’s for sure just the handsome looks and most importantly reliability!

I don’t own a ford but I’m assuming a F150 may be a little under powered if you are towing a lot of weight. I would google the tow rating for that truck.

My 2002 Ram 1500 quad cab running good. Little rust on bottom of doors, but other than that, I'm having a blast. I took it offroad to hunt. Went down a tight trail for 45 minutes, came into powerlines and road those for another 30 minutes. Didn't really hunt, but had a blast. I have had several Fords and liked them. With ever manufacturer there will be pros and cons. Same make and model will have a junker and the best you ever owned. Buying a car is like gambling. You are mostly throwing away your money, but at some point you might get a winner.

Mrw those 7.3 diesels run forever...they just suck to start in cold and lack power. I finally broke down and traded my oldest wrecker In Today 01 f350 7.3 for a new f450 wrecker.....unfortunately i dont have a ton Of choices with my tow trucks.... If I was 1/2 ,3/4 or even 1 ton shopping it wouldnt of been a ford.....

Captain, you're going to like that truck. When my 99' was in the shop for a clutch (finally at 325K) the dealership gave me a F150 to use, I was pulling my boat with that truck without a problem. I was impressed.
