Anyway, these are old trucks people buy now just as cool vehicles to drive. So they are all good if that's what you like
Maybe I got it backwards but even at the time I was surprised because Chevy had more of a car-like suspension compared to Ford TIB. Or maybe they wanted a better ride?

I keeping hearing the "Ford is a better truck" stuff but I just haven't seen it myself. Maybe they are better between breakdowns
