Are Fords actually problematic at all particularly, or is what I’ve heard mostly just other truck guys talking s***?

I’ll often see comments disparaging Ford vehicles, “found on road dead,” memes about them not starting, being unreliable, etc.; I find this mostly in the context of trucks. Is this based in any truth? Or is it just dodge and Chevy guys talking smack mainly?

In my experience, my family having owned a Ford Econoline van, F150, and Focus, Ford seems super reliable and long-lasting, especially the motors (my focus and econoline still purr after 10 years and 200k+ miles on each). Is this just anecdotal tho? I’m not biased either, we’re hardly a “ford family” by any means; we own more Japanese cars than American. We’re also not really “car people” in general, more just consumers/commuters.
