It's no big deal if it's not a limited slip. Mine isn't and I already mentioned that it goes through more snow than many 4X4 vehicles. And, somebody is really taking you for a fool telling you that all Ford limited slip rear axles are shot at 50 to 75k. Don't forget that every V-8 Ford spits out all their spark plugs, all their diesels are junk and all of them will leak out all their oil on your floor overnight as well.
As I mentioned before, there's a
lot of misinformation being fed to you. Some people actually believe all the bogus stuff they read on biased chat sites and then turn around and parrot that incorrect and really humorous misinformation as if it were fact. A fact that I'm really burned by is how one of my mutual funds went in the tank because it had too much stock from Government Motors in it and my taxes are going up more to pay to keep them open even as their suppliers are going under every day and are causing dealers to have to wait for parts. Only two of the domestic manufacturers filed for bankruptcy, taking the taxpayers for a ride as well as the businesses who trusted the manufacturers to pay them for the parts they delivered to them. Those are facts that are proven and are the sort of facts that truly impact all of us. Still, even though they are facts, they have little to do with relaying actual hands on experience and ownership of a vehicle you are considering purchasing. Like several people here, I own vehicles from each of the domestic manufacturers. I can point out good points and bad points about each.
