Sorry Chevy and Dodge truck owners....

[Ripsnort]

No mention whatsoever about your products in the Most Reliable Trucks article.

Naturally, Ford is #1 in the past 10 years.

I bought a Tundra in 2001.  Thus far the only thing that broke on it has been one of the dashboard illumination lights on the far right, so it is a bit harder to see my AC controls at night.

Im still running a 1985 dodge ram every day, coming up on either 90000, or 190000 either way still running strong, by the way its a truck.

Well that settles it. Because your truck is a good one, this alone trumps all research by Vehix and it's data.

I drive a 05 dodge ram.  I had to have the water pump replaced about 5 months ago.  It cost me around $200 replace, including labor.  I also have a 1999 1 ton dodge with v10.  Next time it breaks down, i'm going to have it smashed!  The 03 plain jane 3/4 ton dodge with Cummings and standard transmission hasn't cost me a dime, other than when one of my dummies put gasoline in it  ($3,600 fix).  

The 03 1 ton ford diesel has done ok.  It's had some strange things break on it, but they didn't cost much, and it's fun to drive.

Also have a 1994, big ugly brown 4 door 1 ton Chevy with one of the weak gasoline converted to diesel engines.  It won't die.  It knocks, smokes and everything else.  It hasn't really seen the highway it's whole life.  It was a farmers hay truck, then I put it in a oil refinery about 6 years ago.

My last personal truck was a 3/4 ton 4x4 chevy.  It was a money pit.

instead of smashing it, shoot me a PM, I would be interested in the drivetrain  ( engine/transmission/etc..... )  or the truck as a whole...... since you going to smash it or junk it

I own a 2001 Dodge Laramie SLT quadcab 4x4  play truck....... and a 2003  Dodge Ram SLT  4 Door 4x4, I use for everyday use.......


cheers

Dad has had his 2001 F-150 until now, its now mine, its never been in need of repairs, nothing about it is new, everything is stock except batteries and oil and gas of course. Still runs like new, I'm a Ford fan forever

Will do TC, but if it catches on fire again, no promises.  Installed a new engine about 3 years ago.

What is the deference between a dodge truck and jehovahs witness?


You can shut the door on a jehovahs witness.

Q: How do you ruin a perfectly good Cummins diesel?

A: Wrap a Dodge truck around it.


Fords suck too.

You know how I know you're an idiot?
