All three of them suck.
Im wif Steve.
All 3 had good dependable trucks from the mid 80s to mid 90s.
Then they figured out they werent selling enough trucks, so they "fixed" that problem.
Ford Triton V-8, AKA spark plug launcher comes to mind.

Time to paint the bike florescent orange. Some asshat in a caddy just pulled out on me. Fuggin butthole.
Some Lamborghini orange and Kandy green should brighten it up. Still will be plenty of idiots on the road though unfortunately.

Ford had the Triton 3V spark plug shooters, GM thought it would be a good idea to put a 4L60E in a full size truck and they still can't figure out how overhead camshafts work, dodge can't build an automatic transmission to save their lives and none of them know how to make wheel arches and cab corners that don't return to the earth after a few years (except maybe Ford with the Aluminum trucks, time will tell).

On occasion I see motorcyclist with some uber bright flashing lights on their rigs front and back during daylight hours. You can see them miles away. We have something similar on or peddle bikes but less of them.

Whats the GM issue with the overhead cams? Just out of curiosity, because I don't recall ever once replacing a camshaft in any of the GM OHC engines.
4L60 wasn't a bad trans. Just needed a bigger cooler and people who wouldn't tow like it's a 1 ton in overdrive.

Wait...are you saying that owners abuse their rigs? Like strapping a hitch on a 4 banger with a CVT trans and towing on the regular? This with a NO towing warning in the manual then wonder why they need a trans every couple years? That type of customer?

Nope. Poor design. Lol
