    I read the first 2 sentences. The problem is as you say new trucks, no matter what make. Quality is a shame.

    Don't buy a new truck it has problems. Don't buy a used emissions truck it for sure has problems. Don't buy an old pre emissions truck or it will nickel and dime you to death, also the DOT's will have a hay day with it. Don't buy a glider I have a friend who was having trouble with his by 30,000 miles. Idk why anyone buys a truck. Company drivers dream of becoming an owner operator, owner operators dream of being able to sleep nights.

    Ha ha ha. Don't take any risks ever! You forget do not even go outdoors. There may be a storm, or a lion outside. Lock your doors and get in bed, cover your head. Lol.
