Well, unfortunately, after I did some research, I discovered that Chevy and GMC trucks are indeed the most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road.
The average Chevy truck is driven for 16.2 years before it is scrapped, to a Ford's average of 15.9 years. In addition, Chevy trucks have an average of 2.9 repairs done per year during that time, for an average annual repair bill of $852. Ford trucks have an average of 3.1 repairs done per year for an average annual repair bill of $897.

I have included the most indicative examples of each below.
Most Fords were doing things like this:
While most Chevys were doing things like this:
I didn't realize how important that "on the road" part was.
