My truck was purchased second hand four years ago. I drive it fairly gently, and I change oil every 5000 km and have it in the garage every six months for basic check ups and maintenance. I have never overloaded it or taken it off roading. It is basically a car except when I pull my camper. Since I have started having problems, I have replaced the rear end once , had the famous 5.4 spark plugs changed of which almost all broke, passenger side exhaust manifold cracked, transmission replaced last fall at 95000 km, and rebuilt the tranny again this past Monday. I try to take care of the truck k as best I can, and I feel I have been diligent I'm making sure I set up my weight distribution properly and don't overload my truck. I may have a lemon, or the previous owner beat the hell out of her, but we are done with wondering if she is gonna break every time we head out on a road trip. Never had an engine problem, but I only have 125000 km on the truck (65000 are mine) and I feel like the number of problems are disproportionate to the amount I use the truck.
