Hot take: Ford loyalists ignore how much their trucks cost to fix now

My buddy swears by his F-150 and won't touch a Ram, but he just dropped $1,200 on a new transmission sensor last Tuesday. I get sticking with a brand, but does loyalty mean you ignore the repair bills piling up over time?

Oh man, it's like that with everything now isn't it... people pick a brand and stick with it even when it starts bleeding them dry. I see it with phones and appliances too, loyalty just makes you miss the red flags waving right in front of you.

My uncle bought the same brand of truck his whole life, three of them, and every single one had the transmission go out before 80k miles. But he'd still tell you they're the best trucks on the road, what's that about? Do you think it's just the money already spent making people double down or something deeper?

Start fresh @veram99, trade it in before the warranty runs out.
