The debate between the quality of domestic vehicles has been an age-old fight and one where various brand loyalists are valiant about their specific car brands and the quality that each brand represents. General Motors is one of the oldest vehicle manufacturers in the world, boasting an impressive product line that spans decades of different generations. Many of these product lines are very well known and have spawned numerous popular models during their time on the market. The Ford Motor Company has also been around the block a time or two as the company that created the original mass-produced and affordable consumer automobile. This has led the Ford Motor Company, with a stellar product line to match, to become one of the most iconic brand names in history.

The rivalry between the two companies has been an intense one for some time, and the Ford Motor Company has been the subject of GM taunting in recent years due to their innovative Ford F-Series truck, which adopted an aluminum design instead of the traditional steel body design that most pickup trucks have featured. The Ford pickup truck line has traditionally been one of the bestsellers for the Ford Motor Company, especially in recent years with advancements in the product line such as the predominant use of aluminum. Although GM has had its fair share of issues with quality over the last few decades, the brand has improved tremendously, and the rise in quality has allowed the brand to better compete with Ford and other automakers in terms of long-term quality and reliability.
