So for the longest time I was one of those guys who would bash Ford for the sake of bashing Ford, saying they were junk and I’d never own one, the whole time having never owned one. Well that sure was stupid. Two years ago I needed a work truck and bought the truck pictured below, as is no warranty from a local dealer. It had 152k and has the 3.7 V6. Since I bought it and at around 156k when I finally had enough and decided to get it checked out, it had this weird vibration. Brought it to a friend of mine and he discovered that you could grab the output shaft of the tranny and move it up and down by hand. Needless to say Ill never deal with that dealer again. He swapped in a tranny from Autozone and besides a water pump and brakes and basic maintenance, the truck has been flawless. You cant beat the back seat room, the truck just handles and rides great. What Im saying is I went from hating Ford vehicles for no apparent reason to saying Im sticking with a Ford truck from here on out. While a gas guzzler in a crew cab truck, the engine is stone dead reliable, never had any issues. But my next F150 will definitely have a V8 or 3.5 Ecoboost for more towing capacity, 4 wheel drive, the large 36 gallon fuel tank, and a 6.5 foot bed. I wanted to trade it in recently, but with the current prices of vehicles Ill hold onto it for a while. I’ll make someone a great deal when Im ready to sell it. Just wanted to give an honest review on how I went from saying Id never own a Ford to saying Id own one without a doubt.
