I have been a professional mechanic since 1982. I keep my vehicles well maintained. This one, I cannot keep up with.
A huge disappointment. It's a beautiful truck to look at. Rides and handles like a dream. Too bad I can't trust it.
My '88 Bronco was in better mechanical condition at 100,000 miles. than this truck was at 45,000.
I WILL be trading this truck next week when the most current problems are corrected. Back to Fords for me, never to stray again!
I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 club cab with 56,000 miles on it. I agree with your comment that it is a very good looking truck and rides like a dream. I also agree with your comment on the dash pad. Mine began to crack at 55,500 for no reason and now looks like a spider web. It's obviously a defect in material, but I guess we live with what we have.
