it is because ford motor company knows that there product is not going to last much longer than 60k miles so they do not want to keep paying to have it repaired til it hits 100k.

Fords is more or less based on the old statistic that ppl drive an average of 12k miles a year. A lot more ppl these days are driving a lot more than 12k miles a year and chevy realizes this. They both make a realiable product regardless of what any haters or fanboys say. I work on cars for a living and I have lots of late model cars coming in with 200k these days.

I can tell you this much, I work on more GMs than anything. It did some like GM was using some shitty electronics. There was a time where we were replacing window motors, switches, and fuel pumps on cars and trucks that were only a f ew years old.

btw there was a post made a month or so ago where ford was ranked ahead of GM, Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler in quality, only being behind Lexus and Porsche
