I'm in the market for a used 1/2 ton pickup. Something with 100k-150k miles, 2008-2012, single cab, cheap. Not quite ready to buy or even look for specifics, but really just doing my research.
My current vehicle (2004 Dodge Neon with 280k) is having a plethora of intermittent electrical problems, and is just not reliable enough any more. My current dodge is such a PITA that I'll never consider another Dodge again. Power steering pump & motor mounts must be removed to do anything over changing the sparkplugs. I do all of my own maintenance, and honestly the most important factor is how easy they are to work on.
What's the board's general opinion on Ford vs Chevy vs Toyota ease of maintenance?
