Your truck will occasionally need new parts, and when it does, you should always aim to get components made by the original manufacturer. You can easily get OEM parts for your truck or van through Mission Valley Ford Trucks and our service department will be more than happy to fit them into your vehicle and make sure that your vehicle remains running smoothly! Below are a few reasons you should shop OEM parts:
1. They Fit Perfectly
OEM components fit into your vehicle perfectly. These components are made for Ford models, and are always an exact match for the part they’re replacing. Generic parts aren’t made to fit specific models, as the goal of generic parts is to fit into as many vehicles as possible. As a result, they might need to be adjusted before they can be used in your truck, and they won’t fit as perfectly as an OEM component even after being altered.
2. They’re of Higher Quality
You can never be 100% sure of the quality of generic parts. OEM components, though, must meet high quality standards set out by Motorcraft, the company that manufactures parts for Ford vehicles. These parts also undergo rigorous quality testing to make sure they work perfectly. As a result, these parts tend to last a long time, so they won’t need to be replaced as often as generic components.
3. They Deliver the Best Performance
Because OEM components are made to fit into your vehicle and work with the other parts in it, they’ll always provide a better performance than generic parts. Ill-fitting, low-quality generic parts may even make the other parts in your truck perform worse. If you use your truck for intense activities, such as towing large loads, then you definitely won’t want to take a chance on generic parts that could impact the truck’s performance.
4. They Cost Less Over Time
We’ve already mentioned how OEM components don’t need to be replaced as frequently as generic ones. That saves you money in the long run, and there’s even more money to be saved on top of that. OEM components typically need fewer repairs and tune-ups than generic parts, too, so you’ll save even more every time you visit the dealer for maintenance.
5. They’re Easy to Get
It can be difficult to track down the right part for your truck if you’re searching for aftermarket components. OEM components are much easier to get, as you can get them right through your dealer. Dealers often have commonly replaced parts on hand already, but if they don’t have the part you need, then your dealer can order it from the manufacturer with no trouble.
