Passin Thru,
To the contrary, we have a 2004.5 Chevy D/A CC LB 4X4 that now has just over 140,000 miles on it and not even ONE of the things you conplained about has ever happened to the truck. Ordered it new in 2004 and it's only been used for carrying our 11'4" Lance TC or our 29' Carriage CarriLite 5th wheel which actually truck scale weighed 12,840 lbs when loaded to travel and a few times pulling our 26' Sunline Solaris TT. In fact, the truck's never had any repairs or needed any repairs yet other than replacing the front brake pads at way over 100K and replacing 2 burned out light bulbs. Less than $143.00 total cost in over 9 years and all those miles of heavy hauling!
Are you sure you're not spreading your story beyond thick!
BTW, Michigan salts it's roads in winter and the truck still has no rust showing anywhere or even on the frame and it's over 9 years old now traveling on these salted roads. The original Bridgestone 245 tires were replaced when worn out quickly with Michelin 265's and we just replaced them with the same this past summer. Very easy on tires and gets excellent fuel mileage towing or hauling and so cheap to maintain!
