@car enthusiast I don't know? My grandpa was a Chevy guy and his best friend who owned the farm next to my grandpas was a Ford guy. They got along great. One time his buddys Ford layed down on him with a stock trailer full of cows and we went up there and pulled the trailer and the ford all the way home. I told grandpa that he could really raz him over this one but, my grandpa said nah, it can happen to any truck no matter what brand it is. They are all designed, engineered and built by humans so, none of them are perfect. I guess thats why I am a gm guy but, I don't put down other makes.

Safety regulations, to be frank. Some super economy cars in the 90s were hitting up to 40s and 50s, but they were deemed not safe enough by the government and lobbyists and so on. They make them safer, but more expensive and heavier, and it kills fuel economy unless you buy a hybrid or something else mega complicated

I love how in the 70's and 80's Chevy constantly had to split hairs when comparing their vehicles to Fords, they literally tell you something the Ford does better than them (i.e. the optional transmission on the Bronco) just to say stuff like: "but Ford recommends you to not tow stuff with it!". There's one of these training videos here on KZread where Chevy compares a Bronco II with their S10 Blazer and they point out that the Bronco II has drip rails that aren't designed into the body (yes they're that desperate!), what's ironic about that is that their fullsize C/K trucks had the same old style of drip rail as the Bronco II, funny how they didn't mention that. And then they try to tell you that the K5 Blazer is more aerodynamic than the 3rd Gen Bronco... i'm just gonna call bullshit on that.

I love my 79 bronco‼️

So, I spent 23 years working as a mechanic at a Ford dealer, some of that when the Bronco was still being sold. The 5.0 (302) was not a good engine for off roading. The big bore and short stroke made the 5.0 better suited for street cars such as the Mustang where high revving horsepower works best. The 4.9L six cylinder was a much better engine for the Bronco because of its wide torque band. The Blazer was a fair contender, but I dont know enough about its reliability. Most Chevy drivers are loyal to the "bowtie" and seemed perfectly happy with the SUV.

@@AlejandroP1980s I was in the Navy when we still had CUCV chevys from the 80's. I also bought an 85 CUCV blazer after I got out. The 6.2 is underpowered no matter what. I've never driven a civilian version with a 700r4, military only got th400 3 speeds. Out of the 3 you mentioned any could be built to wheel. Nice thing about blazers is parts are cheap and easy to swap and the removable top. The mid 80's broncos aren't very popular that I've ever seen. Dodge parts are expensive. If it's a manual w350 I'd build it. I've always wanted an early ramcharger personally but never find one at the right time. A fuel injected 360, np435, ORD magnum box with dana 60's with 4.88s and 38's would be my ideal combo.

64 to 66....Ford. 67 to 72...ford tougher Chevy better looking. 73 to 87...about equal. 88 to 2010...chevy all the way. 2011 to now....Ford As you can see I love both. Certain years some are better and some worse. But it always seemed to me in the old days that Ford's were built heavier. Especially 67 to 73. They were a lot heavier built than the 67 to 72 Chevy but the Chevy were better looking. Ford just always seemed to have heavier metal bodies on them.
