I have had fords, chevys, and dodges. I have bought at least one of each brand new from the dealership. I bought a 1997 Ram 2500 ext cab, long bed, 4x4, v10, manual transmission. Wobbled from the get go, lemon lawed that dude, got a 1998 same configuration but auto transmission. Sold it after about 30k miles because I was moved overseas. I bought a new ford 150, straight 6, 4x4, regular cab. First day I drove it to work, I found a puddle of antifreeze under it. Not even 100 miles on it. I bought a 2008 chevy silverado crewcab 4x4, auto with a 5.3 v8. It was doing fine until it got into the late 80k miles, then it started falling apart. I bought a 2014 ram 1500 quad cab, auto, 5.7, 4x4. Was an express model and I bought it when I had to, so I did not get all I wanted on it. Just reliable transportation and towing vehicle. When I got into a better financial situation, I bought my 2019 laramie, crew cab, 5.7, 6.4. So far so good. Glitchie USB interface, but otherwise a fantastic truck to drive. YOu buy a new vehicle and you can have a very good one, or a lemon. They all have the same problem. They are complex machines and as such can have problems. Good luck.
