I'm certainly one of those that hopes you'll give Ford another chance. My 2002 F-150 just went over 101K and I really haven't had anything major go wrong with it. My girlfriend recently bought a used Mustang GT (2003 with 14K miles) and is in complete love with it. If all goes well, we'll be keeping these vehicles (including my America) for at least the next 10 years.
