you should head over to any mechanic forum where people are paid to work on cars and let them know toyota reliability is an old myth. 😂
every manufacturer has it’s pros and cons. Domestic cars can’t match the consistency of reliability of many Japanese cars (not just toyotas). Domestics try to make up for this with more modern features or better “bang for the buck”. It’s not that Domestic manufacturers can’t be reliable but if you went off of averages you would find that most Japanese imports last longer with less failures and there are always exceptions to this. we hace a 2012 focus we bought new and it’s on its 4th transmission and it’s had 2 sets of calipers replaced all by 90k. we also have a 2010 yaris with 100k and the blower motor is starting to make mild noise.
the ford is quiet and smooth but based on its rate of decay it won’t be great to own in a few years. if you value ride quality, value and features then your ford is a good choice. in my area after all the crown vic taxis died they all bought Toyotas and some Hondas. i was in a prius taxi on the way to the airport with 700k. it looked like crap but still served it’s purpose.
