That is the honest truth. I had to leave mine one night in Georgetown last year because of a malfunction. Now the plugs are getting water on them for some ungodly reason, and it is skipping so bad I thought about just driving it in the river and walking back home. I will never buy a Ford again.

duckandbuckhunter,

look into the GMC's. My dad has had several GMC trucks since his company quit with Fords back in 96'. He works road construction so they do see the dirt a lot and he has never had any problems. My next vehicle will be GMC. Every mechanic I know says that they are a whole lot easier to work on than a Ford.

I've got an 07 with the hemi, and I have no complaints at all. Not sure how many changes were made from 06 to 07 though.

Most of you guys knocking a Ford have probably never had one. The Fords and the Chevys are in the same boat now days. You can get a lemon in anything including a Toyota and Nissan. I have a 2000 that is the best truck I have ever owned. 180,000 miles and no engine problems. I bought a 1997 Chevy Z71 that I didn't get 50,000 miles out of before the engine and transmisson were shot. That's about as poor as you can ask for. I bought a 2006 Chevy that was a good truck. I put 50,000 miles on it before I sold it. I am not against either one but you can get a piece of shit with anything now days.

The only thing worse than that FORD of yours that they can't seem to fix is a DODGE! I bought a 2006 1500 Ram brand new and "thank the Lord God above" I just got rid of it last month. It has spent 63 days in the warrantee shop for just about anything you can think of. Within the first 6 months, it stayed in the shop 30+ days, so I guess my percentage got better over the three years that I had it.

Here's a list of issues and I will try to put them in chronological order.

- Leaking rear end gear housing
- Broken air control valve (no air coming out of vents)
- Power steering pump failed
- Recall on seatbeat
- Power steering pump failed
- Automatic transmission vibration (replaced)
- Power steering pump failed
- All interior lights quit working; replaced gage cluster 4 times before they got it working. Stayed in shop 28 continuous days.
- Power brake booster failed
- Automatic transmission got stuck in third gear and would not shift.

I don't haul anything.... it's not abused...... mostly highway miles going back and forth to work.

I have an 07 f150 xlt 5.4 2x4 company truck and an 03 GMC z71 4x4 personal truck and can honestly say that the GM is an overall better choice. I drive 100-150 miles a day round trip to and from work and HATE the way the seats are in the ford, its lack of power, not so good mileage, but it does run for free. Havent had any real issues with it yet (37k on the clock) but we will see. Have had issues with all of our other fords, 250's especially. Love my old GMC, only issue with it was the gauge cluster recall and thats about it.

Get a Toyota. I currently have 273,000 miles on my 97 4Runner and have not had to change anything but the timing belt and battery.
