If you're planning on owning/leasing for 2 to 5 years, it doesn't matter what Make you go with. Pick the one that you like best after test driving all of them.

I happen to have had great luck with Fords. I've owned 4 Ford trucks over the years, including a 1958, 1979 F-100, 1989 F-150 4wd Lariat, and a 2001 F-150 Crew, and have NEVER had a problem I couldn't fix in under 2 hours.

Basically research prices, test drive all possibles, and be prepared to walk away if they don't offer you a reasonable deal. There's always another dealer down the street that wants your business.
