On top of that try pulling a 16,000 pound boat 1400 miles with a Toyota. Go to a launch ramp where big boats are being launched and all you will see is American trucks. Same goes for big 5th wheel rigs. The Jap trucks will not do the job. I have a friend that towed boats for a living and he put over 400K hard miles on his 99 Ford Super Duty Diesel, and the truck ran strong until the day he sold it.
I think the B3 have serious problems, with the biggest one being the UAW. They do build some quality stuff though.

My mistake in typing, IT IS an 05 Crew Cab Super Duty Diesel, should have left off the HD, you want me to post a picutre for proof????
Since buying my first Ford truck in 1976, I HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT FORD TRUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do love the truck, I tow a race car and a bass boat as well as a bay boat and it does the job effortlessly......but, at 4,000 miles the turbo went out and I purposely waited for the 05's so I could get the intergrated electric brake controller which, BTW is a piece of crap in the 05's, 2 different dealers have worked on it a total of 4 times and it still doesn't work half as good as an under dash aftermarket unit.......just check with any ford truck diesel forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.........
As stated, bewteen my wife and I, we have had numerous Ford cars and trucks. I've had one truck (1989 model F-150) go beyound 100,000 miles without any major problems, ONLY ONE......We have not had a Ford car even make 100,000. One almost burned to the ground at around 20,000 while driving 30 mph down the road.Others need major work once they passed 60,000 miles....
At the present time, I have the 05 F-250, wifey drives a Taurus and I have a 65 Mustang and a 66 Mustang, we are a Ford family... I just re-counted and since we've been married, we've had 12 Ford cars and trucks...(would you like for me to list them for proof???)....Just saying Ford doesn't neccasarily make the best cars and trucks out there...............
For every high mileage Ford/Chev./Dodge truck/car you can find, I'll show you 10 Toyota/Hondas with the same or more mileage.....I do this for a living, I see on the average "only" 1,200 cars and trucks a year, for the last 14 years, so I do know a "little" of what I'm talkng about.......
