Ford, Dodge, and Chevy

[oddryu]

Do Fords(or also known as found on roadside dead, fixed or repaired daily) really suck? People keep telling me the they suck because they are foreign made? I know Chevy only makes 10% in foreign countries but what isnt made in other countries today? and what about Dodges?

[thrillbilly]

well, considering that the parts for all makers of cars are mass produced in other countries, wether its foriegn or not has nothing to do with how crappy they are, but fords do suck because they don't have as good trannies or electrical as chevy the supreme auto makers.

Chevy all the way

I would say Dodge. They have the fastest production truck in the world as it stands right now!!! A Dodge Ram SRT-10 Viper engine V-12, all power no play! But the ford stands for Found On road DEAD! or the other way... Ford Sucks, Chevy is ok... Dodge is the best! I do not want to start a flame war but if it happens someone please stop it. Thanks.

FORD! Actually FORD doesnt stand for anything, its a last name its not abreviated for anything. Also Chevy blows, they have had the same style in their ****ty trucks for like 10 years, their turning radius blows. And ford has outsold them in trucks 28 years straight. Case closed.

One thing Black... The Dodge sign isn't a lettering of DODGE it is a RAM you know like a mountain RAM... Plus Fords suck on their power case closed once again!

On their power? Dude dont start talking **** when you dont even know **** about cars. Thanks. Look at you "Its not a Dodge sign its RAM" Dude stfu.

i read in last months playboy (ya i have a subscription and do read the articles )

That 90% of a 2006 toyota siena parts are made in america and canada

Whereas only 65% of a 2006 ford mustang are made in america and canada

WTF exactly

[jimmythekid1]

All automanufacturs suck equaly. But gm does tend to get better on gas. As for chevy trucks the last major chassis change was this year and before that was mid 1999. The power train is always changing from the old small blocks with TBI to the central port multiport in the early 90s, around 99 with the new body style they also went with the new LS2 based blocks 4.8 5.3 6.0 with the new external multiport injection.

Ford a dodge have also had lots of changes over the last ten years.

But as I pointed our chevy has not been selling the same truck for ten years.

GO TO SCHOOL

Why is the dodge viper one of the best and most wanted cars in the world?
and why is the charger called the drag king in germany?
I think that dodge and chevrolet are tough enough to kill a ford mustang gt or a ford gt!
I just think all american v8 and v10 cars are great!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was a question of reliability, not speed. also...this isn't just about trucks, the big three domestics make more cars than just the trucks.

blacksky: you're points are completely irrelevant. just cause they haven't changed the body style, doesn't mean they're not reliable. all fullsize trucks have a crappy turning radius, so one's comparable to a large battle ship, and the other to a small aircraft carrier....they both suck. and sales have no bearing on anything. just cause more people got suckered into buying them before, doesn't mean they're any good.

the domestic vs import question isn't a matter of where it's made, but where/how it's engineered. American workers have no trouble making a quality product, but apparently, they can't design it.


in my experience. fords have an unusually high likeliness of catching on fire. I've only known 3 people to ever have a car spontaneously burst into flames, 2 of them were fords, the other was a 70s triumph.

we have a caravan....160k miles and we're now looking at our second tranny rebuild. that's just the tip of the iceberg.....I hate mopar.

my buddy has an early 90s Caddy, it has 380k miles (that's not a typo!!) on it, and the tranny just went out. it's a bit on the rusty side, but we're doing a 5-speed swap into it, and fixing up the rockers, and it should kickass!!

if you do get a GM, however, avoid the 305! that is not a very good motor at all!

bottom line, go to a junkyard. There's one near my parent's house that we go to alot.

GM section: LOTs of older cars with lots of parts still left on them.

Mopar section: virtually every FWD car there, has had it's tranny pulled (among other things), or it's obviously not worth pulling.

Ford: newest cars on the lot (i.e. first to die) lots of parts missing, rarely a pattern to it.

Imports: wide range of years, no predictable pattern of missing parts (unless it's a honda....wow), except headlights/turn signals. most of them are either rusted out or crashed.


if you want to know which way to go, find the bluebook value on the car you're looking at, and comparable competition. same year, options, mileage, condition, and see which one's higher. that's a pretty darn good start

it all about opinion and preference, my dad was a manager at a Ford dealership for 10 years.

Sorry not next year, New truck

And Ford is falling fast. might not even be a Ford by 2010. The only thing that is keeping them afloat is the F-150 and the Mustang.

[spanx]

we had a 73 ford f250 and we drove the sh*t out of it and it never broke and that thing could pull but my neighbor has a 2002 ford super duty and he says its a peice of **** and it got stuck in 3 inches of snow

[jimmythekid1]

I have to disagree on the 305 statement They are just as good as the 350s, they do have less power but a lot of the parts are the same, as with the 4.3s, I've had a few of the above over the years and they are all about the same as far as reliablity goes.

you ******* its a V-10 notice the srt..10!!!!!!!!!!!!
It all depends on what you want
I personaly think i that all older carb engines are about the same dodge chevy ford dosent really matter
and now adays manufactures have about the same 160,000Km warenty
but its really all on what fits you
BUT her a generlization
gas- chevy has a nice line up and a quite a few engine slections but dodge has the most powerful stock engines with their new hemis ford isnt doing to bad either with the mustang and their 5.0's but trannys are a whole diff story at work we ALWAYS get new dodges with tranny leaks and fords just arnt as strong as chevys
diesel- most ppl think DODGE when they hear diesel BUT after about 260,000+ they still run but lose all their power Im not sure how the new fords are but they seem nice and no complants form ppl that come threw my work and chevy has the most useable torque and haul *** down the road. Trannys HANDS DOWN ALLISON!!!!!! all chevy diesels have them and IM just goin to leave it at that
ohh and Im a chevy boy

[Tripledrift]

I think chevy is the best. all american. They were made here so they are made for the environment welive in. All other foreign company's don't know hwta it's like. dodge is ok(good like a chev.) but fords arent good at all. Its true...have ui eav seen a chevy stuck on the road no! only ford.
