> [@Who knows the truth about my Audi?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-knows-the-truth-about-my-audi/39414/133): > > A big part of the reason Ford sells more trucks is that theyre cheaper. Most fleet owners arent brand loyal and will buy the cheapest trucks they can. Not sure where you got that from but Ford trucks cost more than Chevy and Dodge. BUT the resale is better on a Ford which is nice. The value on my '04 FX4 went UP $3500 when I sold it due to the issues with GM/Dodge going under. Dodge is the cheapest truck available, much cheaper than GM or Ford. Chevy is next in line. They both offer incentives and you can get a Chevy for UNDER sticker easily. All of my friends that have bought new GM’s did so because an F250/350 was sticker only and you could get $2000-5000 off on a GM. ---

A couple neutral drops, burnouts, winters worth of plowing, off roading, bouncing the underside off a few rocks, and towing/hooking chains to anything in sight would be a good test. Sounds like my friend. He does just about all of that. Sadly his '04 2500HD would not take it. Things replaced within 25k miles -rearend TWICE -exhaust manifolds once -headgaskets once -ujoints twice -ball joints, tierods, and few other things once Like I said above, anything over 30\* temps the plow had to come off because the truck would overheat. He had it to the dealer multiple times and there was nothing they could do other than tell him to take the plow off when not using it. That’s all fine and well if you only plow your own driveway, but it was a work truck. He has an '02 F250 now and a '99 F350 with over 100k on both and they have yet to let him down. He got also had an dually diesel GMC, I think it was an '08 and he got rid of that too. ---

Exactly, the manufacturers only warranty rust through on panels and that it is in these climates. I have owned cars from down south with 100k plus miles and ones locally with 1/2 the miles and there is no comparison. Anything aluminum will corrode horribly, I have seen a hole ate right through a FPDM before do to its location on the 04 up F150. It sits up under the spare tire and in other climates there are no issues. But salt especially when roads are wet goes EVERYWHERE. When I worked at the local Subaru dealer they had a subframe corrosion issue only happening in the areas with harsh winters. Toyota had PCM issues from salt corrosion too. Google it and there are many cases of it causing issues with electrical as well. ---

i think you guys are missing the point. It wasn’t to show its the most reliable truck. They wanted to show the engine was durable to handle the rigors of being in a pickup truck. Its the same truck so they feel they dont need to prove the truck but just the engine. ---
