[Jklatham]

Gotta post my two cents...have a 96 chevy z71, a 2003 ford expedition, and an 08 gmc sierra z71 crew cab 4x4. compared to the gmc my wifes expedition is junk...heck compared to my chevrolet my wifes expedition is junk. personally, there's no way i'll ever buy another ford again. i agree, a man has to have a truck

Too bad due to the economic crisis, ford and GM both shelved their 1/2 ton diesel plans for an unknown amount of time.

War Eagle??? No comment on that part.
I am in no way knocking GM, my old z-71 was a beautiful truck, SWB stepside, two tone, chrome everywhere, I even racked up 252,000 miles on her before I sold her. But, practically everything was new a couple times over. Replaced- Engine, trans, rearend, frontend rebuilt, and all sorts of other things. Practically rebuilt the truck. Maybe your Expediton was a lemon, it happens. I had an accord that I bought for driving to the rig and back, and it was the biggest pile I ever owned. Motor blew up, and trans was slipping. Some are better than others.

a lemon, it happens

It can happen with any brand, and it'll certainly affect what you buy in the future. We buy the brand we want more because of emotion than logic. I quite likely got the worst lemon Ford ever produced in 1966, got rid of it after 2 years and 24k miles and you just about couldn't have given me a Ford for the next 25 years, even though I liked the Ford police sedans. But now I've been driving Fords again since late 1991, and have been quite happy with them.

Geeze, I wish I could get away that easy. My '89 F-150 rusted through the fenders, frame and fuel tank with 110,000 on it by 2005. 17 years is a long time, but crap, the thing was garage kept and never used for plowing or salting.

That's not my low milage pick up.
My low milage truck is a mint 1992 toyota long bed with only 28000 miles on the clock.
Here is the winner though A 1950 Chevy 2 door sport coupe. 39000 miles.
