I recently seen a chart that said GM was #1 in world wide sales with ford in 2nd.
Ford also had a gas tank issue that they new about way early in the game and decided to just let it slide.
My dad buys a new truck every two years. He puts about 130,000 miles on the truck in that two year period. He has never had one of his Gm trucks in the shop in the 26 years hes been buying them for mechanical failure.
The guy that coowns the company with my dad just bought a new ford he switches trucks every 2 years as well. He didnt even have 400 miles on it yet and something went wrong in the rear end and a hole got knocked in the case.
My sisters V6 95 stang has had more mechanical problems than I care to type about mainly in the heads they have went out twice and the ford house said the heads on that year got recalled. The first set was free cause of the recall the second set of heads was $1600.00 with labor.
Not cool
my point is I have seen **** on both the GM and Ford side.
