I started out with Ford, I bought my first new truck when I was 20 years old, a 1987 full size Bronco, then a 1988 cab and half work truck, then a 1991 Explorer for my wife. The explorer was a huge lemon, was in the shop more than in my garage. We put up with it for 11,000 miles and I wanted to trade it for a Winstar. The Ford dealer said and I quote I will buy back my problems. He gave me a price for trade and I thought it seemed high. I went 7 mile down the road to a Dodge dealer and told him all the problems I was having with the explorer, I kept no secrets with him. The dodge dealer gave me a trade-in price on a new Caravan at the time there was approximately $5000 difference on the trade in price comparing sticker price numbers compared to the Ford dealer. I went back to my Ford dealer and asked him if he possibly made an error on figuring out the price of the trade. His reply was, it looks like you’ll be buying a Dodge now doesn’t it. I have bought 19 new vehicles since then and my kids are now buying new Dodges. I am extremely bitter towards Fords and my brother in law always reminds me that I don’t dislike Fords, I dislike the Ford dealer. He is actually right but I still will never have a Ford in my yard.
