Best make for a truck? Good gas mileage?

I'm looking to buy a truck, I used to drive a Ford and I loved it, but I need some suggestions on a make? I need good gas mileage, it doesn't have to be a huge truck, I just like having the extra room especially being able to put stuff in the back. My husband and I are planning a road trip in the next year or so across the country and that's another reason why I want a truck. Any suggestions a good make/model?

What could cause my car to not stay running?

I have a 99 ford contour. 4cylinder 2.0L. It cranks but will not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. No check engine light. New MAF and Camshaft sensors. Got the car in feb and had new plugs and oil change. Could it be a clogged cat?

Does the rental car have to be the same make?

My car is currently at the ford shop getting fixed, I wanted to get a rental car which they said they had to go through my insurance. I did and they said I could get a car and taht it will cover up to $30 per day, however when I went to the rental car companie they said the rental car had to of the same make as the car that is in the shop, ford. So they said all they had was really big truck, which was $30/per day and we had to cover for the tax. Because of the truck size I decided not to get the car. Has anyone ever been through a similar situation or know if this is true?

Why is my system drawing so much current and producing less power?

I have a 75 ford. It has a 250 amp alt. I have a 1200 watt pioneer d9601 and 2 of the 1000 watt rms dual 4 ohm subs. They are wired to 1 ohm. Eherything had worked great for about a year but now the volts drop to the low 11s with deep bass. The system seems weaker as well. I checked all connections. I replaced the alt with a new 250 amp alt I ran new 0 gauge power wide, re did the big 3, added a second 0 gauge ground wire to everything and no change. I think the issue has to either be the subs or the amp.

Should I be saving our more expensive car?

So my wife has a ford and I have a bmw. We mainly use my bmw as it is newer and nicer but despite it being newer it has 3k more miles on it. Should we use the ford more often to save the bmw or just enjoy the nicer car… You only live once?

Does Anyone Else Hate Foreign Cars?

I'm getting real sick of people driving them in America! I've even seen military people drive Honda's and Toyota's! Yeah, because that is showing your love for America! I'm also really sick of people thinking that all foreign cars have a "special gift" and are super reliable! Actually, lets think about this… How often does Toyota have a recall? No, lets rephrase that: When doesn't Toyota have a recall?! Nissan? Are you kidding me? Those are built by the cheapest materials possible and run like crap! If you are one of those foreign car lovers who support them don't give me the "But Toyota's, Mazda's, and Honda's are built in the US where a lot of domestics are built in Canada and Mexico" excuse. Don't you dare try to say that foreign brands are American, because they are not! GM, Ford and Chrysler were all founded in the US whereas Toyota, Nissan, Honda, VW, etc were founded in Japan or Europe. There's a difference! Do you detest foreign vehicles or do you like them? Please state your opinions why you like or dislike them…

I hate foreign cars because they are cheaply built, overrated, slow, unattractive (yeah, I know you will always have an ugly duckling whether it's domestic or foreign, but to have all of them ugly just isn't right) and just a way to like your country less. Please buy American! (GO GENERAL MOTORS)

P.S. NO I'm not racist! I have African American, Asian and Hispanic friends and don't care what descent you're from. I just hate the idea of foreign cars in an American market…
