'88 Ford p/u 5 L gas, loaded, next to the top (top being leather seating): Emission controls, electric window crank, 2nd fuel tank sender, paint. Ford fixed all at no charge to me out of warranty other than the window crank, I fixed.
'98 Dodge p/u 5.9 L gas, loaded, next to the top. One gasket on A/C.
'05 Dodge p/u 4.7 L gas (wife's), loaded, next to top. Nothing
'07 Dodge p/u Hemi, loaded, next to top. Topped off AC as it was low from the factory. Only did it once under warranty.
'11 Chevy. Wife died, had 3 vehicles, only needed one, nearest dealer was Chevy: 4.9 L gas, loaded, next to the top, Onstar satellite monitor for emergency support, directions, or problem diagnostics....costs $200 per year. Only time I see the dealer is when I pass the dealership on the way to the grocery store.
Change oil once a year whether they need it or not; Mobil 1 used in all. Lube chassis if it has zerks. Last 2 Dodges had none. Chevy has one each side on steering arms.
I get great fuel economy, great starts in the mornings, especially cold ones....no more coughing and belching raw gas till the Quadrajet warmed up, no stinking exhaust from the car in front of you, no sparkplugs to fool with every 10k miles and points and plugs, delay wipers rather than vacuum operated, windshield squirters, quality AC systems that clean your windshield in the winter and keep you cool in heavy traffic, disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, auto door and window controls from the driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, and on and on and on.
On the little 4.7's and 4.9's out there: Try one before you comment. You will have to eat your hat if you underestimate them when performing as intended.....not hauling around a 10,000 # trailer; 3,000 ok.....they have a "tow-haul" electric control on the electronically controlled tranny for that along with their fully synthetic oil with 100,000 mile changes in normal service....towing trailers infrequently. I am duly impressed with these little guys.
I am happy with technology and as a result I don't have a "57 fuel injected Fo on the Flo" to play with.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
