Show me the masses of ten plus year old Chevy Blazers with more than 140k miles on them and the owners who just can't stand to part with them.
This is an unabashed testament to the longevity of Ford vehicles. A fact which should be made obvious by the vehicles most of those customers bought to replace their Explorer....two of the top five are Ford products. Tell me, where did the best placing GM product place on that list again?
If you want to slam Ford then slam them for something which isn't a blatant win.

Just because they are that old doesn't mean they ran without problems. I'm the first to tell you I'm not bashing ford. I've had alot of them, but I've had two explorers both bought new, 98 and 2003, both a had many problem including tranny, tranfer case, head gasket, rear end seals and many more issues. Thats junk in my book. Sorry to hurt your feelings fanboy, just call them like I see them.
