F-150

  • 60,000 miles

Over a period of 20,000 miles I had to replace the right head not once but twice- Since 50,000 mile mark I have shelled out in excess of $12,000 in repairs and I have the receipts from the local Ford dealer. Tongue in cheek, I sent a letter off to CR at Ford along with copies of the receipts requesting why I should ever again think of buying a new Ford. Last week I bought 2 new Toyotas.
