My Reliable Ford

I bought my 95 F150 used in 1999. The truck is used as a work truck and at the time of purchase I averaged 40k miles per year. In 2001 I moved my family back to Texas from Mississippi where my daily commute averaged 150 miles round trip. (about 50k per year) I drove the truck until February 14, 2010 when the transmission gave up the fight. However I am not disappointed in the least that is the first mechanical break down the truck has encountered 370269 miles. Original engine equipment including hoses. I change plugs and oil on a regular basis. This is a great truck. I purchased another F150 2006 model of which I believe will out do my 95. I will replace the transmission and give the 95 to my son and hope he enjoys driving it as I have. Thanks Ford.

Dear Ford, Although you may not know it, you give me a controversial decision. In a couple years, I plan on getting a brand new truck, however I do not ever plan on driving as big of a truck as the F-150. I am really hoping you will bring the Ford Wildtrak to the United States or you might just lose my faithfulness as a customer of Ford. I have driven the Ford Ranger, and i loved it, however the space was very limited and i could not have many people ride with me. I would like to have a truck that is bigger than the current ranger but smaller than the current F-150 which im sure the size will only increase. My decision if the wildtrak is not brought to the United States is, I will be forced to drive either the Cheverlet Colorado or the Dodge Dakota. I really love Ford so the thought of driving a different brand is crazy, but I need the gas milage, space, and reliability and unfortunately your truck can only provide 2 out of the 3 that i desire.
You give me a tough choice.
