I have purchased Fords for most of my 45 yrs of driving and have always marveled by their reliablity. I never get rid of a car with under 100K miles and the Fords I have owned have never had any major problems in this range. see full Ford Fusion review

I was disappointed that this truck didn't meet my expectations but my dealer was very generous. They paid my remaining loan and traded me for a 2012 model basically takeing my truck back and (without charging me) put what I paid on my old truck to my new one that made it possible for me to upgrade big time. I saved over five grand towards my new truck. My new loan is 21k instead of 38k for my new Ram sport. I'm still scratching my head on this. Traded my 2011 Ram ST V6 ext cab. Base price at 26k new. And bought this new truck 2012 Ram 1500 sport hemi V8 Crew cab. Base price 36k. My current loan is at $21,300. Someone wasn't paing attention. see full Ram 1500 review

I told my self that just because my family builds theses trucks doesn't mean I should pretend everything is running good and I was almost at the point that I hated my truck. see full Ram 1500 review
