When I was looking to buy a new truck in 2006 I did the same thing Brian Jensen
did. I went to all the local mechanics and asked them which trucks came in for
repair the most. They all said Fords came in more than the others. I bought a
new Dodge, 3/4
els are ultimately cheaper and more comfy. And the Dodge
will handle anything we decide on.
But like someone said, trucks are like barns and fencing, and, and, and, ...
for every opinion, there are 100 more.
