I could only get to page 3 before I had enough of all the B.S. I was reading. The big 3 are all decent trucks and all have their quirks. After analyzing data over the years as a lead mechanic for the USBP Tucson Sector fleet (no longer there), I can tell you that Ford was the cheapest to maintain, followed by Chevy, then Dodge. These trucks are ran very hard in some of the nastiest terrain.
BTW I own a Ecoboost truck, a sparkplug throwing Excursion (no issue with mine because I know how to TQ them properly) and many other Fords. I am biased but numbers are numbers.
Also IMO it is GM that makes and designs their vehicles that require the dealer more then any other brand. With all of their modules/computers and the reprogramming/relearning requirements it can be pretty damn annoying.
