No. Every manufact. has there problems. Ford has durable suspension, espically on the trucks. The engines are good and the trans. The only cars you can knock on for ford is the escort, taurus, and contour for breaking springs and having some trans problems. Chevy has horrible suspension problems and intake gasket problems because of dex-col. Idler, pitman, ball joints always go out on the trucks. They are getting better though. Any GM that pulls in a shop with some miles on it you can gurantee it needs a intake gasket. Dodge will crap a trans, guranteed. Ford bulds a very reliable vehicle, keeping maintenance up is key and will determine its life for any thing you buy.
