[QUOTE="Saltydawg, post: 212428, member: 2944"] Not impressed with any of the new stuff. If you were to force me to pick one I would go with the ford superduty. Nice frame under them and 4 wheel disc brakes.....the rest of the truck is the same as anyone else's...plastic and fake metal trim. I have a 74 Chevy I still drive on a daily basis and a 79 Ford I tow with. The older vehicles require a little more maintenance but when its done properly they work perfectly and will still be around in 30 more years. Most people don't take proper care of their vehicles which is why they remember all the leaks and problems from the old days......and its also why they'll remember the same about their current cars in 30 years time. The reason people are seeing longer lives in the new vehicles is because manufacturers have finally realized people won't grease their u-joints and change their oil regularly etc etc. So they are making these new greaseless ball joints, u-joints, and stuff. They have a better initial lifespan than the old style if the person isnt gonna keep up with maintenance but they are also disposable items as well.....you can't rebuild most of the stuff on modern autos. My 70's model pickups are still around doing their job and in good shape.....these new vehicles will have long been recycled at the 30 year mark. [/QUOTE]
