Ford or...?
I notice that a very large number of the people who post here tow with some sort of Ford product. I'm wondering if they are that much better than Dodge Rams or other hefty vehicles. What is it about...

I would suggest that a first-time buyer of trucks first sit down with pencil and calculator and get to an understanding of how much more a larger truck really costs for their usage. I bet a lot would find that the assumed extra expense of additional fuel will be relatively insignificant when all things are tallied.
FWIW, I drive a 3/4 ton as my daily driver and am always *****ing about that horrible mileage but if I work it out over a yearly basis, it is not that much more than a 1/2 ton. Similarly, the upkeep and maintenance is cheaper than a smaller truck(in my case) as components seem to be built to a more durable standard. Tires are more but I'm getting 80K out of a set.
