I used to hate Fords for the sole reason my dad did, I was given a Ranger
work truck and I think after 100,000 miles the only problems I had was a
rear shock broke and a starter went out.

My personal Ranger has decent power with a 4 cyl, gets 22 mpg in the city
and almost 30 highway.

Now if GM would bring a Holden VE Ute in and rebrand it El Camino I might
bite
