Ford Ram GM
When I bought my first F350 back in 2011 I felt there were a number of little things that made Ford a better choice for me than what GM and Ram were offering. Things like power tow mirrors, tail gate ...

Only Ford and GM know their failure rates.
NHSTA tracks what was warrantied.
So saying that GM and Ford had similar failure rates as fish did is unsubstantiated. GM actually reported a higher percentage of warranty claims than Ford... Which is consistent with GM covering the repairs, and Ford had a lower percentage of reported warrantied failures.... Which is consistent with Ford denying coverage..... Though I strongly suspect the actual total failure rates were indeed similar..... There is no data to support it.
All we can say for sure, is that GM DID pay to fix a higher percentage of trucks than Ford did.
I actually had these reports on my computer back then.... That computer has been long gone though
