Anyone making a reliable new truck now?
I read nothing but problems out of new trucks now. The new Ford 7.3 gas engine that I had hopes for has spark plug wiring harness problems. Chevy gas engines are still using the deal where they drop...

Compared to years ago ALL the newer trucks are pretty darned reliable. I'm an old fart - been driving and working on vehicles since the late 50s and there is NO COMPARISON. I remember how much I had to work on all the vehicles I had from the 70s and early 80s. The new vehicles are MUCH more reliable.
My 2004 Dodge/Cummins dually - only repair in 17 years has been a water pump.
My 2007 Ford E350 4x4 conversion - only repair in 14 years was replacement of a brake switch that was giving me intermittent cruise control problems.
My 2016 F150 4x4 3.5 Ecoboost will be 5 years old/50,000 miles in a couple months. I've had to do absolutely NOTHING to this truck except change the oil and rotate the tires.
So I sure as heck can't complain about reliability!
