Nothing wrong with Fords...
I mean Ford's not perfect but they aren't bad by any means. I've owned three Crown Vics, a 99, 07, and 08. All ran great at time of sale. They did have minor issues but all things considered, the way I abused them, plus two of them being retired cop cars, they too didn't live easy lives.
I've put my Escape through it all. Drove over curbs/medians, off-roading (and almost getting stuck since it's only FWD), flooring it pretty much everywhere (the 2.5L NA engine just doesn't have the power I need/want it to), and I've loaded the ole girl up with 7+ pallets strapped on the roof and the inside full of soil and plants... Still rode fine even though it was even slower LOL. Also rented it out on Turo for a while... I'm sure my renters didn't treat it nicely. Oh and did some Uber too.
And now I have this F-150. Sure the engine makes a tapping noise but after some cleaning the interior is in almost perfect condition... Sun visor, vents, door handles, all in perfect condition. The seat isn't even torn like a GM would be. And it handles great... even with worn out Chinese tires on the wet roads I haven't done any accidental drifting. Unlike all the other pickup trucks I've owned. So they designed something right.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of GM, but I've turned into a Ford guy too. I would say they both have good models/years and bad. As do all other car makers. You have to do your research. Just don't get a Dodge/FCA product. I had an 05 Ram 1500 I got for free. Biggest turd ever. That said, I sold it for $900, so, no complaints there. If it hadn't been such a turd it wouldn't have been free.
Mom's Accord is a piece of junk, my aunt traded in her Corolla on a Subaru... both are oil burners and needed way too many clutches. I would rather have a 200K mile Ford or GM than spend the same amount of money on a 300K import because for some reason the imports hold their value absurdly well.
