The ford shouldn't be on your list.... if we're talking about reliability.
Congrats on the internship.

im sorry but reliablity of ford is better than you think. I know a few on here that will tell you that every make/model/type of vehicle is "unreliable". Smiley has had a ford and chevy when I was around (im sure he has had more but chevy and ford is all I can remember lol) and his ranger was a perty darn good vehicle from what I remember. My last Ford Taurus had 150k miles on it (102k put on by me) and all I had to replace on it (besides the normal items like brake pads) was an egr valve and sensor and a new thermostat. Now I consider that pretty reliable considering you dont need either of those for your vehicle to run and keep running. then again the taurus I had before that went through 3 transmissions before I got rid of it but that had around 250k miles on it when I got rid of that. I mean my Oldsmobille has had more problems then my last taurus did but those have all been covered under warranty (which I have like 4 months left lol).
Cheese why suv and not a truck? Just curious as last I knew they both were poor on gas mileage lol
. I know smiley has (well ok Mrs Smiley) has an Explorer but I have no idea what kind of problems, if any, they have had with it. I am just pointing out experiences I have personally seen/have and not going on hard facts because well im not a vehicle person
. I also have no idea if someone should believe consumer reports or not because I dont know what/how they base their data/tests on. guess ill have to google consumer reports and find that out
.
*edit I should say that the one person I know who has a Dodge has had lots of problems with them.
