Default Favorite Brand of Vehicle (Car, Truck)

What Brand of Vehicle do you like best? Guess mine is Ford since that is what I have most of.

I've owned Fords my entire life including the fact that I've had a Mustang of some sort non-stop for over 35 years. I currently drive a 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4 as my daily driver and a 2007 Mustang GT as my weekend fun car.

Chevy forever, never had a bad one in 50 years. Cars, Trucks, I guess I was lucky. Curently drive 2003 Silverado with 95,000 Grand kids hauling miles and a 2008 Impala (Wifes) I only get to drive when it needs washed or oil changed. I drove my old Chevy truck for 19 years and 1/4 million miles, why change? Never.

Chevy's are good Trucks. I have a 1984 1-Ton that was used for a wrecker before I got it. I put it on Propane after I got it and have used it for years on the Ranch. Have a bale lift on the back to lift round hay, and pull a trailer with it. International used to make some good old tough pickups also.

Have a Ford but I had a Toyota that gave me 245,000 miles of good service. Thats hard to beat. My Ford rides much better though!!

I have been a Chevy man all of my life. Now I have 2 Ford pickups, one 03' 4X4 that Terry drives & one 2WD. 2 Chevy 4X4 pickups, a 92' Cadillac Sedan DeVille & the little 08' Dodge Caliber that I drive to Wichita everyday.

I like them all, really. I am thinking about a new pickup, probably a Ford but possibly a Dodge.

I can't vote caus' I'm all confused!

I'd have to say Ford, that's what I have now. My Dad retired from Ford so I guess that is part of the reason for brand loyalty.

I've always been a Chevy man, probably because my Dad was. I've driven a lit bit of everything over the years, but when I could buy what I really wanted, it was usually a Chevy. The $4.00 gas forced me into a Toyota Corolla last year. It's a good little car, good gas mileage and easy to park, but I don't like it all that much. After driving Impalas for a number of years, it's hard to adjust to lots of road noise, a rough ride and not much road feel. When this one is paid for, I'm going to go looking for something a little more comfortable again.

I'm a Chevy man all the way. I had a few Fords, two Dodge trucks, two Chevy trucks and way too many cars to list from a Mercedes to a VW "Thing". Corvettes are my passion, always has been and "Bad Booger" is my all time favorite!
