I don't like GM trucks, so I bought a 2004 F-150. I've had it a year and have had no trouble with it. it has 30,000 miles on it. I really like it. The ride is almost car-like but solid, its quiet, and with the 300 horse 5.4 has lots of power. Of course the Monte is much funner (is that a word?) to drive and attracts more women!

I've never heard of anyone having some much trouble with so many different vehicles, all under 1000 miles. I think if that was happening to me I'd consider getting a bicycle. But then with that luck I'd probably get run over by a little ole grandma in a Hyundai!
