How can you be loyal to a brand that can't support itself and is now owned primarily by the government. How anyone would buy anything, but Ford is beyond me. I have and Ecoboost and it is and awesome truck right off of the lot. After adding a leveling kit 35" tires and a SCT programmer it is a total beast. It is scary how fast it is and the gas millage is incredible for a 4x4 truck with that size tire. 15 mpg in the city and 20 on the interstate going 75 to 80 pretty hard to beat. Besides that it is such a better looking truck than a gm or dodge why would you choose anything else!

Well while I agree with half your post, the other half is just wrong. I agree that it's sad that they had to take a buyout and enjoy my Ford more and more because they didn't. However, GM is not primarily owned by the gvt. The gvt now owns less than 1/4 of GM. While still a large portion, they are no longer the primary owner.
Aesthetics are 100% opinionated. I love the tundras just as much as the fords, on the outside. And I like the rear coils in the Rams because I do not tow a lot. There is a reason that there are other truck manufactures and they are all doing reasonably well given the economy.

I have always been a GM guy but bought a Tundra. I have had a few bad experiences with ford in my life and just can't get past those. Not saying anything is wrong now and that any of those weren't more than 10yrs ago. I just can't make myself buy a ford.
My Tundra is badass though.

People like you are more annoying than people like me.
ETA: And I'm sure the people whose 1994-2002 F150's spontaneously combusted, or whose 6.0s had to be completely rebuilt, or who had to drop $2000 for a spark-plug change in their 5.4s can find reason enough to chose other brands. FWIW, I'm not a Ford hater at all...just can't stand the xenophobia of some Ford people.
