It’s interesting to hear the Ford guys talk about how good their trucks are and then it becomes apparent that they’re trading trucks every 3-4 years; I would hope they’re good in that time frame. :) I remember one guy on one of the Ford diesel forms talking about how good his trucks have been and he only had 2 6.0L, 1 6.4L, and 2 6.7L trucks. :B

If I could afford to buy a new truck that often I would certainly buy the hot rod of the day too, but I’m sticking with my old, underpowered, horrible on fuel, and worst of all manual transmission Cummins.... :B

Pretty good hypothesis. Until you look at the purchasing habits for the other brands and not just "your" history. Then it is back to the drawing board for another theory. :B

From what I have observed Ford owners do turn over trucks more often than RAM and GM owners.

Impressive. You would be a huge asset to the OEM's. Just name your price with that detailed marketing data. Surly all those new GM and Ram trucks I observed are replacements of 15 year old vehicles or completely new customers.

So Ram has a big rust problem and bad transmissions. Read a lot of those observations on this forum also. Must be true.
