and then they shipped it ovserseas to New Zealand! Did you buy it new? I bet there was a nice markup on the price due to shipping charges.


jimc1995 Have you ever owned a Ford? They are quality trucks, I had a 1992 F150 with 150K on it and quite frankly it had less problems than my 01 Blazer with 107k. Most people don't realize that ford created a quality control center in 2004 to ensure high quality parts. Not to mention that the F150 HAS BEEN THE BEST SELLING PICKUP IN AMERICA FOR 30+ YEARS.

 

and i would still take a silverado over a ford anyday

 

Haha, that's you're opinion!!! . I'm assuming you have a valid reasoning for disliking fords?

 

never owned a ford so i cant give any horror stories, ive had quite a few chevy's tho with no major problems so i see no reason to make the switch plus fords seem to be lacking in the hp department.

 

true, im not leaning one way or another, but my blazer has $1680 of SES Repair work to be done which I find somewhat discouraging, not to mention several other blazer quirks.

I do though LOVE the newest Silverado's look, very clean!

 

the quirks i have are more of the annoying ones i.e. gas gauge, most of the money ive put into the blazer has been for regular maintance stuff so i cant really blame the blaze for that. i actually like the new sierra front end over the silvys

 

With GM doing all this rationalization to it product lines I'm wondering if Ford will drop their Ford range!

 

Yes i have owned two fords i had a 91 Ranger which was in the shop more than on the road and i had a 90 Ford T BIRD SC which was an alright car except u had to just have the key turned the right way to get it to start (also put 2000 into it) and every shop around here couldnt figure out y. I have owned my Grand Am now for 6 years longer than i owned both of them and have had to do nothing but regular maintance and i have had my Trans Am for two years have had to do a little more but its also 22 years old. So far never had any problems with the blazer. So in my experience GM is the way to go.

 

we have all ford truks at work bought brand new in 06, the boss is sure glad he bought the best warrenty with them two already got engine rebuilds, and his truck which dosent really work has had clso to 15 grand worth done to it. Dont think ford is great at all em all te way my 2001 blazzer gots 320xxx on it done nothing but maintain it best I have ever had

 

sorry for the last post hope you get the idea of what i was trying to say, low battery in keyboard
