I prefer a 6 speed Silverado or sierra 5.3 proven that holds on for the long haul. Ford to me throws out new stuff and then when it breaks they look the other way. Time is what I want to see. High miles on one that is well out of warrenty and how owners feel then. That will be the true test of these animals !!
Agree but it really isn't the Eco's fault that it hasn't been out long enough to see if owners will get 200,000mi+ of trouble-free service from them.
Like you I think that's the best measuring stick; I always chuckle to myself when people post "my truck's been awesome! 30,000mi and no troubles!" LOL That's great, happy for you, but IMO no truck
should have problems at far less than 100k miles. (For what vehicles cost these days, 150k trouble-free miles should be an absolute given but sadly it isn't)
