lol... I've driven fords my whole life with no issues, my 2 year old chevy express van on the other hand, both of the tail lights just fell out on there own at 50k miles... All the mounting tabs broke and they just fell out literally on there own.. Another guy I work with just got the same chevy van but a 2015 and the transmission went bad after 5k miles.. The rest of the fleet is 2011 ford vans and there all still going fine with no major issues..

Oh I agree about the newer American models, they are ALL disposable junk.
Believe it or not, I custom built my K5 with a high pinion Dana 60 front axle out of a 78-79 F-250 Snowfighter, so it's kind of a hybrid ;-)

Cool vehicle but looks a little top heavy. Wonder how it does across the side of a hill?
And with that short wheel base uphill could also be a problem.
