Why not? They haven't been in the bread line like their cross town neighbor's yet they are still holding on and standing behind their products better than ever. The F-Series isn't the best selling truck for no reason, and the Fusion doesn't get better reliability and quality than the Camry and Accord for no reason either.
Oh, and to cettoman, here's an article I found about car parts. Even though it's a couple years old, it still gives you a good idea that parts are NOT only made overseas: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-03-21-car-content-chart_N.htm?csp=34

Ford has and always will be the number one company to buy a vehicle from.Ford has been right behind if not two steps ahead of every other company that has been making cars since Ford has been. If Ford didn't make it then nobody made it because Ford was always the first one to come up with the main designs. Why do you think you see so many Fords on the roads today because it is the number one company and brand of vehicle preferred by most people in the United States? It is just the way the United States is Ford has been here for a long time and it is going to still be here for longer.
Ford didn't just keep producing cars one after another they kept up with everyone else and produced some of the world's best cars. Ford is used everywhere and it is the number one truck that will keep running. I just think Fords motors run a long time and there is something that they do to keep them that way that I wish I only knew.
Their good reputation has put them at peace with the public and you now see everyone driving either a Ford turbo diesel or you see them driving the Ford SUVs. You are always going to see someone driving a Ford.
There were a few other models that were made back in the 50s and 60s but none of them really hit it hard like the other models did. The other models that I am speaking of are just a few but I can only think of one right now and it's the Ford Thunderbird. These were old and you will still see people driving them around today.

I had an 85 F-150 with the 300 -6 The straight 6 will pull that V-10 wherever it wants too. The 300 is a torque monster.... low revving and all power. I towed a trailer loaded with 10,000 pounds and it felt like I had no trailer at all.

jupudi sounds like a Ford salesman trying to drum up business for his empty showroom. LOL
Look - Ford is no better or worse than any other American car manufacturer. They ALL use parts made outside of the U.S., they all have recalls, they all take specially trained technicians to work on them and they are all designed to wear out when the payments are almost done. They are engineered that way and I don't see that changing anytime soon at ANY of Detroit's car makers. I'm not taking sides with ANY of them - just being a realist.
