I had a f150, it went 250K plus, outside of normal maintenance which I did myself I had no repairs with exception of some bad front brake calipers and an alternator that blew as a result of a dead short in the battery. After 250k the transmission was going so I sold it to Obama in the cash for clunkers program and bought a Hyundi for my Wife. It is about time I buy a new 150 for me.
eggs-ackley.
I migrated to Ford after the Chevy Cavalier (my family was a Chevy family in the 1950s and the 1960s, and old traditions die an extremely slow and agonizing demise in my family).
Now I have three Fords. It was four but someone drove the Exploder like a passenger car, not a good idea lol. The remaining three are all 1968 or earlier.

Would Dodge RAM 2500s have been a more appropriate choice?

No reason to respect or buy from them.
Iraq likes Fords? How does it do with Chryslers and GMs?
"They" probably have your salesman in the interrogation room right now after a 3 am visit from Holder's people.
Expect for Ford Motor Company to receive some unwanted scrutiny from the DOT, EPA, and other government agencies in the near future. No good deed escapes government retaliation.
