I joked that all of this made me feel a lot better about my 18yr old 222k mile truck, but honestly if I were in the market to buy a new truck today, I'm honestly not sure what I would buy....

They all seem to have a myriad of major issues...

GM - the issue above, common transmission issues, seems there are a lot of issues with their gas engines. known a lot of people that have experienced TONS of electrical gremlins

FORD - I wouldn't touch one of their 3/4 ton diesel with a 10ft pole anymore. Don't know much about their gas burners these days so maybe that would be an option.

DODGE - Frankly, never heard much of anything good about them in the last several years.

that leaves Nissan and Toyota. I've just never liked the Nissan trucks, no matter how much I try to make myself, and you have to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy a Toyota.

I mean, what the crap...
