It's a big problem. They get leased and put on extended interval services and that just screws the trucks over for the future. That's what really gives new trucks the reputation for being junk. You can't expect to do 50,000 mile oil changes and grease jobs and not expect the things to fall apart no matter how well they're built.

I put just over 100k on a 2018 that had 233k when I got it, and the only breakdown has been for a tire this past week. Got an airbag, too but the lease company got me in to fix that up.
I idle alot. -

I'm still waiting for someone to ask me about my truck emissions for years now. It's reg in Montana but I run out of Cali every week, in fact, I live in SoCal. Carb has no authority and the DOT says it's not their job during an inspection. EPA and CARB are not LEO and no authority stop and inspect anything period. Like Nancy Reagan said just say no you are not touching my truck.

I was running westbound over Donner Pass, passing the Gold Run rest area. Saw a couple of CHP officers in there rousting drivers up. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing it was to make them shut their trucks off if they had been idling more than 5 minutes.
