re: Why do Southern males love Chevy so much?

I been riding in F150s since 98. Last Thur was the first time the ole F150 failed me and I had to hit the Reebok Road in Fruitdale, AL. 150,000 miles and the alternator shite the bed 30 miles from the nearest parts store.
Luckily a good ole boy was going into town and gave me a ride round trip. He was a talker. Yada Yada Yada for an hour round trip. I just said an occasional Yep, No shite, and Unh Hu.
Total delay was about 4 hours with 20-30 minutes to swap out the alternator.

My first Ford truck was a '91 F-150. Traded it to my next door neighbor for some roof repairs. It had 534,000 miles on it then. Neighbor has since died and his family sold it for 500$ to an old guy in town. I still see it occasionally when he's puttering around town. Been driving Ford trucks ever since.

It is usually a Ram flatbed. I see more of those than anything else

Tribalism, defined by truck brands. It's weird.

I try a new brand seemingly every time I get a new truck. They're all decent. Really happy with the Tundra right now though.

I love me some Chevy, but then I'm a Southern Male and was taught the value of the dollar so I buy Dodge.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I find them all to be cheaply built shite boxes

Must be user error, I have had 3, all great vehicles

It's just amazing to me how many POS Chevys I see around. Tailgate handles missing, buttons/dash peeling, blown transmissions, etc. No other truck on the road seems as poorly built as Chevy/gmc IMO, and I used to have one.
this...I had one, will never own another, I have a f150 and would drive it or a tundra all day over a chevy /gmc again

Drove GM trucks all my life until I bought 2014 F-350. Will not go back to GM product(Obama motors).
My previous truck was 2012 GMC 2500, the Ford rides smoother & quieter, better fuel mileage, more power, uses half as much DEF, and is better quality in general.

By far, the #1 truck you see on a flatbed or the side of the road is the F250/350

Ford kills this demographic. Not even close. N

BTW my Fords have been flawless
my GM products have been flawless. My Ford F250 on the other hand, was total shite. 3 transmissions before 120,000 miles. I give GM the edge on amenities and the Duramax/Allison combo. I know its all personal choice, but no truck can match the Duramax IMO- at least so far.

A lot of the sales numbers are fleet vehicles
Posted on 1/11/16 at 8:52 am to patriotgrunt
I'm sure the Fords are great but I think the new ones are ugly.

Seems like that southern males love Chevy, I'm going by number if used vehicles for sale and personal experience.
I bought a chevy because I was gifted an employee golden ticket of sorts. The money saved over the similarly equipped Ford was just too much to ignore. I pull a 5er that is probably on the edge for overloading a 1/2 ton. I am not going to chance that on a Japanese truck.

Every new chevy I see has a Swamp Assassin sticker, light bar, and mud tires
