One word: Chevy!

I have owned 4 Fords, all w/ bad experiences. I have had my 2000 Silverado now for going on 7 years- no problems whatsoever. Had to replace the rear brakes once is all beyond regular oil changes etc.

If you go foreign, those Nissan Titans seem to be a nice ride. Great styling, good HP at 305, and a roomy cab. You cannot go wrong with a Toyota, but they are overpriced.
