The worst of the used trucks
Thought this was sort of interesting. I sure don't agree with some of the conclusions they made in this article. Some I do. Some I don't. Thought they missed a quite a few in the diesel world. ...

And there will be more and more making the list as their complexity goes up...
more stuff to go wrong...
More so with poor maintenance (timing schedule vs usage, quality of the mechanic,
quality of materials, etc)
Leasing (long term renting) has so many neglect everything...as it is a rental
so why bother...
Why seriously noodling my next TV after the Sub dies...something pre-tech
and pre-smog or lesser smog controls so can do whatever want to do
Keep the body & VIN for smog...then newer junk yard +9K GVWR frame & axles, but
now can stuff in a 'built' carb'd gasser with little to no smog requirements
Maybe a newer port injected big block, but not worry about smog...
Sure, the new vehicles are way more comfortable, but that metric is only on
my "nice to have" list...
Many past careers in design and taught both in college and mentors: KISS your
designs Ben...and live by that most times...and know empirically how stuff
breaks down when overly complex...plus the level of tech to fix'm goes way up...
