Ford, Chevy and chrysler products all have good and bad things. Fords are pricey to rebuild and the transmissions may become the weak link quicker than Chrysler or Chevy trans's. Chrysler is expensive to rebuild and to maintain but well known for the inexpensive factory muscle cars, like the Cornet and Road runner, yet, the unibody cars like the Dusters and Demon's ( I think there A body mopars ), rot out very fast. Chevy is the best of the 3 because, there cheaper to build, 1 size fits all with the engines and transmissions, the downside is, everybody's got 1.
