The brakes failed - as in F A I L E D - causing me to avoid a massive
collision by jumping a curb and heading into the pucker brush.

Then, to add insult to injury, when I restarted the engine after it
stalled out, a horrendous noise and oil smoke started to pour out from
under the hood. *Brand new engine to boot.

In a nut shell, this truck is a piece of s##t. *This is the sixth
major failure in 20 thousand miles.

No, I'm not buying a Toyota so don't even suggest it.

I am looking at GMC though.

I load cars for a living on trucks, and we've had 1 Expedition almost
go off over the front due to brake failure.
Something is going wrong with the Ford brakes. I, personally have had
the brakes feel REAL spongy in the Fords, and almost lost one myself.
We have to make sure the dam things work before we can load em'
now.Fords DO have the best frames...IMO
GMCs have the flimsiest frames I've ever seen. Stronach makes em right
here in the town Im in, and they (Stronach) also own the Temp Service
that staffs the plant. Talk about the rich "double-dipping". I have
distorted the tie-down holes on several units just from cranking the
chain tight.
Wanna know whats good and bad...ask me. We dont haul them all (the
real high end stuff) but handle all the domestics.You should see the
****ty undercoating jobs on the YJ Jeeps. I'd never buy one.
