Funny you say that Randy - a coworker/friend of mine tried to sell me his 2010 F-150. It has 1/3 the mileage of the RAM 1500 I bought, but way more issues. He brags about having deferred every major maintenance, plus 1 door doesn't open and 2 doors won't unlock with the power locks. He put off getting the spark plugs replaced for 20k miles.
When he said "You should have bought my Ford!" my response was "So I could be locked out of it while it's broken down?"
I think if any of us bought a used
and well-maintained truck it would have far fewer issues than what I am dealing with. Just having this conversation with my cousin: Vehicles manufactured in the last 10-15 years are more reliable than ever - when they are regularly maintained and inspected. Most people skip on even the regular simple maintenance and it is cumulative over time.
