My last job was as a Cut Truck. Its a 2001 F150.
I drove this truck for a year and a half and the blistering speed of 4.5 mph.
As much as I miss that truck and job, I assure you, I do NOT miss the company.
By the time I left the company, the odometer read just over 500,000 miles. When it worked.
I left 10 months ago, and stopped by to buy a carburetor and the old girl is still going.

And I'd driver 500 more, just to be the one who drives 1 million miles!
Da da da!
Sadly, it's a computerized vehicle and as a consequence is designed to fail. She'll keep going a while longer if taken care of regardless, but sadly when I saw her yesterday it looked like shed been in a demo-derby with how the last 4 drivers has treated her.
The 1998 to 2002 generation of fords is the last era that was made remotely well. After working in the salvage yard for as long as I did, I REFUSE to buy any ford after 2002, and dodge or chevy after 1989, and favor the older vehicles before they started putting computers in them.
My daily is a 66 F250 and will likely still be going in another 56 years simply because it has no computers.

Most are designed to be thrown out after about 6 years.
Ford is the worst in general, especially with their ECMs. They make new ECM designs about every 2.5-3 months ever since about 2005, and that vehicle can use ONLY an exact code matching ECM. So people bassicly have a $90,000 paper weight with a blue oval.
Although, the newer vehicles do have very appealing safty features. Like seat belts, and air bags. Something pretty much non of my rigs have
Really, stick to Toyota's or Subaru's.
Side facts. Every 1980s and 1990s Tacoma and T100 we had come in had ammo, and almost every ford explorer had Seattle Seahawk decals.
But the problem in the automotive industry is so horribly disgusting that I've started designing my own vehicles with the hope and intent to start producing them. If my life ever stops kicking me in the teeth.
