you wont make it past Seattle LOL
I would get a Nissan NV but they are too expensive. I chose a ford because they are cheap, relatively easy to work on and convert to a 4x4, a lot of resources regarding experiences and track record etc, and they blend in public easily. Even if it does break down, ill be able to stay several days in it with all the modifications I plan on doing. Whatever happens, happens lol.ImStricken wrote:in a ford???
Seriously? My last Ford crapped out 18 months off the show room floor with a bad transaxel. Even if you gave me a Ford, I'd ditch it asap.followingnfront wrote: Lol theres a reason they use these as ambulances and for pd... theyre work horses, he will make it
Yes seriously. I don't know what Ford you had... And I'm not saying they are all reliable by any means, but Econolines and Crown Vics run forever. As I said, there is a reason they use them for duty.Rogue One wrote:Seriously? My last Ford crapped out 18 months off the show room floor with a bad transaxel.

your so naive lol. they use ford because it was the lower bidder. same thing with the military. i have been stuck in a crown vic, expedition, e350 prisoner van for years - and ALL were crap. every single dept/officer i ever came across all said their CVPI's are crap.followingnfront wrote:Lol theres a reason they use these as ambulances and for pd... theyre work horses, he will make it
Im not naive... There seems to be a real pro-Japan fan boy attitude on this site lol. Im realistic... And there are some American cars that are very reliable! Ive personally seen our gas econoline bus stay running constantly for a year straight (never turned off... ever) 24 hours a day for a year and never give problems. It is not pleasant to drive necessarily, but reliable. This truck has at least 60k on it also. Ive driven many econoline buses that were diesel that had well over 300k-500k on them and while they again, were not pleasant to drive, they still ran... My aunt has a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis and it has 130k. Since new its given her not one problem except the keypad on the door not working. Still reliable. I believe as a whole, Japanese vehicles are more reliable than American vehicles, but I still believe there are some bad Japanese vehicles and some good American ones.ImStricken wrote:your so naive lol. they use ford because it was the lower bidder. same thing with the military. i have been stuck in a crown vic, expedition, e350 prisoner van for years - and ALL were crap. every single dept/officer i ever came across all said their CVPI's are crap.followingnfront wrote:Lol theres a reason they use these as ambulances and for pd... theyre work horses, he will make it
my father owns a limo business. lincoln towncars, ford vans, and grand marquee's = GARBAGE. but he has to use them for their trunk space.
bud, there is a reason why cop cars are leased and returned at 60,000miles.

I wish I could sell my Rogue, but no one wants to buy a two times rear ended car with front bumper replaced and PDR'ed after a hail damage...Now I have to drive a cursed car for the next 5-6 years!
Note: Is there a pin stripe on the side of the car?
