OK I'm with you, but what does that actually mean these days? Made in America? Profits go back to America? Hmmm.
This is how I feel too. I've tried VW, Porsche, M-B, Subaru, Chevy and Toyota (we won't count the MG). In between were usually Fords. And I kept coming back to Fords. They're what I know, I'm comfortable with the design choices, and the company's social and political stances are a close enough fit to mine that I don't mind giving them my money over someone else.I'm a loyal Ford guy.
but not a fanboy.
The reason I go with Fords is they check off more boxes constantly than anyone else when i am in the market.
ts that simple.
because of my past success with Fords, there is some bias that the next time i'm looking for a new ride, they are a top pick to go browse their offerings, and as i compare to the others, the decision is always clear
I am a motor head.Ok a disclaimer, my father was a Ford mechanic for his lifetime and my brother too.
That said I’ve owned different brands of vehicles but I keep coming back to Ford.. I find each brand has a different “feel” to them from driving, seating, visibility etc…
I like Cadillac V series sedans but I’m a truck person at heart..
I’ve noticed in the Ranger 5G and new Maverick forums that there is more of an instant gratification loyalty, More so in the Maverick forum. Yeah maybe it’s just impatience in today’s world but there is a lot of whining like waiting for a new video gaming console to come out.
Yeah at 64 I guess I’m just old school and experienced but it bugs the crap out me… just saying.. Maybe it’s just youths (utes) that will someday figure it out.
Ford didn’t get by being a slouch but they had their moments… Sometimes you gotta make a stand..
Rant over…
I have had ford, gmc. jeep, Chevy, dodge, and pontiac. Have driven most of them to 200,000 or more. The pontiac was 300,000. Routine maintenance and take care of the small things right away and most will last. Maybe I've just been lucky?
This XLT is the closest I’ve ever been to “top of the line” in a vehicle. At least I can see it from here and chose to stay away. And it is much fancier then anything my father ever drove. I will always remember the time when he climbed into my old truck and said “How many miles you got on this now? You obviously keep real good care of it.”I've always had to work for what I have. Never the fanciest or top of the line. Dad taught me at a young age to take care of what I have and I have tried to teach that to my kids as well.
I agree completely!This XLT is the closest I’ve ever been to “top of the line” in a vehicle. At least I can see it from here and chose to stay away.

Yeah boy, I'm old too and see what you did there. I agree. Instant gradification seems to be a must with the younger generations of today. And, the real world makes that need quite rough on them.Ok a disclaimer, my father was a Ford mechanic for his lifetime and my brother too.
