*sigh* If I hadn't put 18 trannys in my Silverado, I'd have something to say to you!!!

I had a 1969 shortbed Ranger. 360 CID with 3 on the tree. The motor sucked. The oil pump died three times in a row. It was geared too low. But it did make it from SLC to San Diego. Barely.

The only Ford truck I'd be happy to own is a Raptor.Maybe... I don’t like walking
I really don't have any need for a full sized truck. I used to be an "All Dodge, all the time" kind of guy but I was least impressed with their offerings of the big three at the Auto Show this year. The Fords were nice and they always are but this year, it was the Chevy/GM trucks that caught my eye the most. Interiors, especially quality of materials used, are important to me since a driver is spending so much time inside a vehicle. Chevy/GM is much improved where interiors are concerned.

It wasn't always that way, only in recent times was the brand name change made. I have owned two of the now discon'd Dodge Dakotas, though and I wish they would bring them back. For those who didn't already know, a V8 motor in a truck that size was loads of fun.

The diesel engine makes our F350 bulletproof, but still the hubby wants the brand new fancy shmancy F350

I thought a 6.0 Norstar diesel would make my '07 4x4 Ford van bulletproof, but all it did was burn up the dual batteries and break on road trips (3x). Our Corolla did what that van couldn't. After the last $2300 repair, my mechanic suggested I get out of it while I could. Adios for the last time, Ford. All Toyota and happy now.Ouch

Loved my 76 350 short bed Chevy C10 with 4 on the floor (1st was the creeper). Drove it down from Wa in 2002 no problems. Hate CA smog laws at the time didnt have the $$ and time to rebuilt or swap engine so it would pass smog.. Sold it.. Have a 99 F150 (V8) hate it.. but it was free.. beside all the repairs the only thing I like is that I carry my bike in it..

New Ranger is sounding like a well thought out vehicle:

Myself, I wouldn't mind a Ranchero.

I have 2005 Dodge Ram Diesel 5.9 4X4
Has 220k mileage.
Sometimes I feel if I chained to a tree and pulled, it will stop the earth's rotation.
Love that truck!
