Re: new truck opinions needed thanks
thats the plan leave 72 as cruiser instead of one of 2 current daily drivers, stupid dakota being 2nd dd and coincidentally the one being replaced.
between the locker and HD snow tires i use winters not bad, boss lets me use plow truck after storms, so no plow needed. and most my towing would be done between storms when roads are good, so...i feel im good
i just wanted some real world opinions as they are trying to sell trucks, and try their best to hype them up. many times ive seen buddies get cars/trucks that don't meet the expected expectations, or just give them problems that are actually common place that they never tell you about.
case in point apparently 00-05 f150 with plows are common for front lug nuts snapping off, dealer never told my buddy, mechanic told him when they towed it in, cost him 6k when the trucks tires flew off and smashed the whole front end into the ground. they claimed owner neglect and warranty didn't cover it. he had bought it new.
