Brand loyal or just like a good vehicle?
We've had 3 mercury grand marquis. As we both like a comfortable car and GM and Chrysler didn't offer any. Our latest family ride is a 2018 ford Taurus. My ride is a 2019 Colorado z71, I've had 3 dodge trucks, 1971, 1989, 1998. The '89 always had trouble with the front coil springs going bad and I never hauled anything with it. Catalytic converter went bad at around 40,000 miles and I kept it tuned up. The '98 started to rust at just a couple of years old, but the biggest complaint is that they all were gas hogs and all had the 318. My 2003 ranger was a good truck until around 60,000 miles, I traded it in on a 2010 Colorado now there's a good truck, 4 wheel drive extended cab with a 5 cylinder engine and it got 27 on the highway, then I did something dumb and traded it for my 2019 Colorado. I've had trucks from the big 3 and both the Colorado's rode and handled better than the Dodge trucks. The dodge trucks never got better than 14 -15 on the highway. I'll probably never have another dodge truck and I can't afford a challenger so I'll have to stick with the older mopars.
