The new truck will be a 350/3500 SRW and a diesel.
My question is what the current overall reliability of current GM offerings is?
The truck being replaced is a 11-year old (2009 MY) Chevy 2500 and has been a good truck until the past 18 months when it's crapping out in every conceivable way. Always had a slight preference for GM, but this has taken the shine off GM a bit.
Should I start evaluating 2 brands (blue oval and Ram) or 3 (throwing in the GM)? I'm hoping that this will be my last truck.....
The "reliability" of all the Big 3 offerings is about the same. They all have issues. No one brand stands out as having stellar reliability over the other so buy what you like. If you like Chevy/GM, buy that. They make a great truck. So does Ford. I like them all but went with the Ram CTD because they're about 10 Grand less (in my neck of the woods) then Ford and GM.
