I speak from personal experience, that Ford > Dodge > Chevy. I've had cars from each. Only one Chevy though, a 2004 Venture LS Ext. V6 4-speed, leased. It was horrid. Too small inside (this was supposedly because it was based on a European Opel Sintra), it handled and felt worse then a Freightliner FLD and it was made purely from plastic.

The Ford's I have had in my life-time are a 1999 F-150 and another 1995/1994 F-150. Both hit 200,000 miles, with no problems. The 1994 is gone, but I still drive the 1999 (XLT, five speed manual, 4.6L Triton V8, SuperCab 4x4), which is turning over at slightly over 203,700 miles. Reliable, durable, good looking, well equipped, excellent engine sound. Clutch is going though, but its the original clutch. Nothing on it has been replaced other then a battery, brake pads, etc.

I used to lease minivans, until present. Went through three Dodge Caravan's. 1995, 1998 SE and 2001 SE. All were reliable, fuel efficient, reasonably comfortable and caused us no pain or extra money.

The Chevy only lasted two months before the problems started. Although, due to Chevrolet's popularity, ours was probably just a lemon. Or, the Venture (based on the ancient U-Body with that old 3.4L V6) was just crap.
