IMHO innovation and styling. While they are ALL great vehicles and the

best that Detroit has to off, I think Ford has a history of innovation that keeps them just a step ahead. Of the top of my head, things that come to mind: crew cab, aluminum body panels which dropped 750 pounds from the vehicle weight, integrated tailgate step, adaptive speed control (first time in a truck,) better fuel efficiency, more powerful and efficient 4 & 6 cylinder engines, and they are on the thirteenth generation.

But again, just my opinion. .
