Ford is my favorite. Dealt with so little in repairing them, but dealt with repairing alot of GM, Mitsu/Chrysler, a few Honduhs, and so on. Out of the Ford experience we have, they have been the most reliable, and my neighbor's new Focus shows how nice they still are. I would definatly buy another Ford considering they have been a good car. No matter what Ford and General Motors will still exist due to the fact they make Trucks. Real Trucks. Not pansy ass toy-trucks. (Well the S10 can be considered a Toy

)
Only imported Pickups I can think of are Toyota and Nissan. I dont like Nissan, but I know Toyota's can take a beating. I would still prefer a nice truck such as the Ford F-150.
