Ford 4 out of 10 ... Buahah!!

im new to the forums so this isnt a new story but its still a good one!

soo my uncle owns a landscape / hydroseeding company, a couple years ago he decided to update is company trucks. At the time he was running dodges, but decided to switch to fords. All 10 of the trucks were switched to brand new fords. Some months into use 4 out of the 10 trucks were crap! and had to be sent back to the dealer and exchanged for new ones. but the dodges, which he sold to a couple companies around town, can still be seen driving around.

dodge 1
ford 0

The company my dad works for is having the same problem, but on a larger much worse scale. More than half are in the shop. My dad has one of the few Dodges left and with 196,000 on the ticker I think they should've stayed with Dodge.

I have a friend that works for a company that gave him a 96 2500 dodge gasser (he wanted diesel but they wouldn't) for years then one day they took it away and gave him a new f-150. Said the dodge was too old. He hated the ford an complained for a long time. Finally they gave him back the same dodge and he is still driving it today. 176,000 miale and still going.
