Thought this was sort of interesting. I sure don't agree with some of the conclusions they made in this article. Some I do. Some I don't. Thought they missed a quite a few in the diesel world. ...

01 F150 4.6L, junk. Several coil failures, each one expensive. Rusting door bottoms due to bad epoxy that absorbed water.
04 F150 4.6L, seems good, I sold it to a relative and he has 170K on it.
04.5 Duramax, bone stock, torque converter went out at 100K or so. Lots of typical GM truck minor hardware and electrical gremlins. Engine is good.
Employee's late 2000's Dodge 1500, needed complete front end rebuild at 75K miles. Cost something like $2000. He uses it like a car.
When I compare these trucks to our Honda and Toyota cars and SUVs, there is just no comparison quality wise.
