I dont have a problem with Fords per sey....im still loving the drive of my dear old 2003 F150. Every time i get into it it reminds me of driving my dad's old F-pickups when i was a teenager in the 80s. Ive replaced this and that on it, but the engine is still running well, and it gets me around town and allows me to haul junk and dirty things with ease. I bought it deliberately with roll-up windows, push up/down door locks, and as little bells and whistles as possible...because its a truck, and i knew i would beat it up.

And i love the 'IDEA' of the Bronco...Ive seen a few around, and they look the part. If they simply had a well tuned V6 and made about 325-350hp naturally asperated, then i'd look at them as a next-vehicle.

HOWEVER

As has been stated many times...the simple simplicity of what the T4R is appeals to me. And the LC200 of course as well. Sure, a few electronics are necessary, but whatever runs today will break tomorrow. And its about how long will any particular system run before it has an issue. As for my Runner, one caliper, and the rest works just fine...no frills, nothing special, just me, the road, some dirt, some snow, and some towing...and to this point alot of memories.
