 I only wish i could write a rave review like most of the other folks. I have always been told Ford makes the best trucks.  This is my first Ford truck. Granted, its a 2002 and I bought it in 2012, but its been a money pit. I was unaware of the "blowing plugs" issue with certain years.  Well, i have that year, I guess, and twice plugs have popped.   according to complaints, Ford refuses to acknowledge and fix the problem.  Now, I have to spend $250. and get new plugs every 30,000. miles.  This truck has hurt me, financially.  The plugs,  heater core, motor for power windows, the shifter has a lot of play and is difficult to get in gear sometimes.  I was told i could no longer be tightened and needed a new mechanism in the steering column, $500.  The motor for the 4x4 just went, 1/2 of the interior dash lights have burnt out, and the heater blower motor is really noisy and ready to be replaced.  add this to the regular stuff, and i'm tapped.  many things i expect, but worrying about spark plugs malfunctioning, and getting hit with not-so-common problems is put a sour taste in my mouth about Ford's.  Not sure i'd buy another Ford truck
