I agree with you 100%. I bought a GM because when I was researching they seemed to have the least “I love my truck, even with all the issues” fans. It seems like when I would read the Ram forums, every topic had ‘even with these issues, I love my truck’, which made me think, ‘why would u buy a truck knowing it has issues?’
I can go back 30 years and list the issues I have had with my cars on one hand.
- ‘92 s-10 - starter failed with 5000 miles. Traded in at 100,000 miles
- ‘96 VW Golf - one recall (maybe 2). Traded in at 115,000 miles.
- ‘98 Subaru Legacy GT (bought used in 2000). Synchros replaced under warranty at 34,000 miles. Head gasket went and traded in at 115,000.
- ‘04 WRX, mildly modded. Had it for 8 years, 90,000 miles. Zero issues.
- ‘09 Tacoma (bought in ‘08). Kept for 11 years, 160,000 miles. Wheel bearing and drive shaft replaced after 100,000 miles with a lift and bigger rims/tires.
I drove all the cars like Rally cars and the taco off road, towing 4000+ lb trailers.
I feel like I am walking on egg shells with this truck.
