Wrong! At least in my experience.

I owned an '82 Camero. The car was great, the service was excellent
everywhere I went. I was completely happy.

I then bought an '85 Ford Bronco II from PB Ford ( may their souls rot )
and have had nothing but problems. In 15,000 miles the transfer case
cracked, the clutch went out, the water pump went, and now it looks
like the steering pump is going. The dealership has been more trouble
than they are worth, with the usual "what did you do to it" comments
and two month long repair times while they wait for parts from Ford.  

It will be around the time hell freezes over before I buy another Ford.
