:)Hmmmm... let's see now... let's turn to our Kelly Blue Book (aka - http://www.kbb.com) and we notice that in trade-in, wholesale, retail, and loan values.... which truck has the worse retained value? Oops.... before we go, let's also look in the N.A.D.A. GUIDES (aka - http://www.nadaguides.com).... and you know what... the same truck appears to have the lowest retained value there too. Guess what that truck is.....  DODGE  |

Had 3 dodges... never again. All were junk and spent more time in the shop then on the road and I got hit in the pocket book everytime on resell. All were fully loaded top of the line trucks.

I had never had a Ford until 1998, then I bought an Expedition. Still have it with 171,000 miles. It has been bulletproof. In addition to the drive to work and then on my lease, also haul some heavy stuff with it. Hauling dramatically decreases gas mileage and also vehicle life.
Then got an F350 Powerstroke to pull loads with (I haul 40 foot trailers loaded with junk appliances). It ended up with 165,000 miles and then I got another Powerstroke almost a year ago. It now has 61,000 miles and is still going strong. I have had to replace clutch and have the front end rebuilt on it since the loads we haul are so heavy. But man the engines and trannys and rear ends are tough.....
I'll get another one when this one goes......I hear good things about the Dodge with Cummins diesel and the new Duramax (heard some really scary stuff about the old Duramax, which was pretty pricey) , but just don't see the need to change.
Between the Expedition (with the 5.4 l gas engine) and the Power stroke, I go well over 100,000 tough miles annually.
