Happy to report my Ranger has been trouble free, still going back n forth whether to step up to the big guy (F-150) the only reason is for an improved towing experience, but with increasing joint woes I'm thinking in 2 to 3 yrs I'll be ready for a smaller motor home.

Sad there's not a Ford on the list. So far mine has been running great and no major issues but it only has 25,233 miles so there's that. I guess when you have all those recalls and it's costing you billions it's to be expected you're not going to make the good list. lol

Been there and have done both trailer and mtrhome. With trailer you automatically have a touring vehicle after you set up.
With mtrhome its a toss up....even with smaller like a class c if you want to go exploring you have to break down and re-set up for every daily excursion...UNLESS....you tow a "dingy" behind you....which we did for many years.
Like a trailer you still have to hitch/hook up the dingy but at least you don't have to break down your camp site.
And with a mtrhome and a possible dingy purchase you now have an extra "vehicle" to maintain....one that is only used occasionally but has an engine/tranny ect ect ect that will/may sit for long periods of non-use.
We went back to a trailer after a 10 year period of a class a and than a downsize to a class c. As long time rv owner we just found it easier with a trailer.
The Ranger was adequate but the Expedition makes it sooooo much easier and pleasurable to tow.
Again, this is just my experience but do what makes you comfortable....
And, I have the same"old man" joints that creak, grind, and pop....still find it easier with a trailer.

A quote from a good friend of mine. "if you can't afford to do it right the first time, how can you afford to do it over?" it has become my motto.

We all know Ford is just as bad. Now add this to the mix: (the Ford diatribe begins at just over a minute in)

Umm, you guys did see the headline, right?

The 10 Least Reliable Pickup Trucks You Can Buy

This isn't a list that you WANT to be on.

Having said that, seeing as the article repeatedly specifies that the GMC/Chevy trucks are duplicates and they received the exact same score as their "twin", I wonder why they didn't just pair them up into like listings: i.e.: Silverado 1500/Sierra 1500, S/S 2500 HD, and Colorado/Canyon. Then there would have been three more slots to provide info on other trucks. Would Ford or Toyota have made the list then? As it is, 6/10 are GM twins, which kind of makes it look like an article that was out to prove a theory rather than test it.

I saw it, Ford needs to adopt that motto.

Absolutely fair. I think we all could.
