Why I don't trust Ford After 19 years & 15 new Trucks. Gas VS Diesel Reliability & performance

What happens here

One colleague (Elliot), despite acknowledging the rough ride, states he would re-buy his Ford F-250. He expresses a preference for Ford trucks and specifically likes the solid front axle for its versatility in applications like plowing. The presenter then asks another colleague if he would re-buy his truck, to which he replies 'not for what I use it for' (plowing).

Goal: Explore reasons for re-purchasing a Ford F-250 despite known drawbacks.

I love the trucks I love I love the Ford trucks you know I like I like all the brands but for me four trucks are more versatile I like the solid front axle especially flower fanboy it's true it's true all right what about you I knew a diesel truck boy LK let's this let's be realistic let's say you don't have an extra six to ten grand a pop in for a diesel engine would you rebuy that truck not for what I use it for that I don't like it was plowing I like four well right below if you wouldn't buy that truck what would you buy I'd like a diesel alright alright yeah now I've had the 7/3 and all the diesels since then only when I like oh yeah really yeah I get rid of it ASA oh yeah and and then the 7/3 is the only one since they came out that I would rewrite I'm done with him he says the person with a 6-4 that's okay it's not it's not great I mean there's nothing this Explorer is the best engine now all of the 6.0 liter diesel engines that I've owned by Ford have been train wrecks if you're looking at buying one of those be very cautious but the 6.4 or the 6 owes big brother has been fairly problem-free delivering plenty of power besides that annoying regen issue behind the 7.3 liter which has been my favorite diesel engine by Ford of all time well that is just really tough on fuel but you need something that can hold trailers their own now we've moved away from buying new diesel trucks and have been experimenting with gas engines and having pretty good results but I guess that depends on who you ask
