Ford loyalists?

Not wanting to hijack the tow vehicle thread, I've decided to ask why there are so many Ford faithful people here. I know of four different friend's Fords that were lemon law'd in the past four years. Two were owned by the same guy and he just bought another one!

One of the other guys I mentioned just bought another new one too. A 2014-and he just blew the motor while towing his fifth wheel a few weeks ago! They replaced the motor under warranty of course but now his whole cab squeaks since they had to remove it to remove the motor. Here's my question and reason for posting: What the heck is wrong with Fordies??? Does Ford offer some secret thing that no one else has that is worth the reliability factor? I sure hope they do because otherwise, y'all are fools... Please enlighten me. I'm just a simple guy that owned a 2003 Ram CTD for eleven years with 210K miles and only had to replace a water pump. THAT'S IT. I genuinely want to know what is so special about a Ford that makes it worth the hassle and risk. I understand they have a little more horsepower but it ain't near enough in my mind to mitigate the lack of reliability. Are people just ignorant of the service history of these trucks? Is that why they keep selling so strong? Is it a style issue? Btw, I'm talkin diesel only here. If we're talkin gas, I'm a Chevy man.
