I wouldn't. My son's best friend has been working on the line
at the Ford plant in Oakville, Ont. for a long time. He said
that quality control has really gone to the pits. As an example,
if you're on a Ford lot, open the front door and take at look at
the weld at the bottom of the door where the skin folds over.
Chances are they'll be rusted. If not, look closely at the weld
and you should see that rust formation is in the not-too-far distant
future. He was at a Ford dealer and there were 7 new pickups on
the lot. He told the manager to check them. Sure enough, all
7 were rusted.

He bought a 02 4.7L Ram just before Christmas
