    Now of course I don't get a new truck, but from what our mechanic told me, they aren't that great.

    Brand new trucks, rolled off the assembly line, we put our company decals on them, and within a few weeks they're in the shop getting repaired. Nothing super major, but they all seem to leak. Not the engine, the cabs. Unbelievable, you pay 140 grand for a truck and our mechanics have to go through them and reseal around the windshield, lights, etc.

    I heard that was a problem with the 2017,s also, so they did not fix that? It just takes resealing all the lights , windshield and any other object on the outside of the truck. Are those made in the USA?

    This is a warranty issue I think.

    It's bad sign when instead of fixing the water leaks they put a plastic water shield over the fuse panel that is buried behind the glove box.
