95 F350 4X4 crewcab. 351 5 speed. 385,000 miles.
Why do people always have to compare vehicles? Each vehicle has a positive and a negative... I just don't get it? If it rolls down the road, and hauls the scrap there, what's the difference?
Today I'll drive my $400.oo 90 Ford 1/2 ton 4x4........tomorrow I may be driving my $900.oo 74 Chevy C-30 pulling the trailer I make out of the Ford, next week the 350 in the 74 could be in another truck hauling the leftovers from the 74.......... If it runs it don't matter what brand it is, if it quits it's still a paycheck and/or parts for the next one.
I even haul scrap in my Vette and in a back pack on my Harley-Davidsons.

Sirscrapalot - I demand a recount there is no option for.."I don't use no stinkin truck, I rock a mini-van/van!". ;)
1991 MAZDA b2600i 4x4 5 speed, before mazda and ford trucks were the same, and after mazda stopped using mitsu engines this one is actually a mazda. great little truck!! tall and light and can get through anything. people say "but that truck is so small to haul with" true, its not a full-size, but I also get great mpg, so I don't care if it takes me an extra trip, and two, the thing is a tank! I've had excess of 900 lbs in the bed with no problems. pretty good for a little 4 banger!
