We can still DPD to the UK for future reference, sorry about this one.

Not your fault at all, I should have said DPD works best for where I live.

So, I finally broke down and purchased a new (to me) truck.  I've had it less than a month and have been hit twice in the last week.  That is all…

Bummer. I've always wanted a truck but the cost of gasoline kills it for me everytime.

Funny that my rant is also about UPS.

Christ. 110 US to send a package to Hawaii?! This was the cheapest option and would take 7-10 business days What the fuck? It’s gotten to the Point that UPS is only affordable for businesses to use. Companies get a corporate discount for their mass shipping. Meanwhile the cost is passed on to the consumer. Me in this case. The same package shipped priority by THE Great United States Postal Service was 25 US and would take 3 business days. What can Brown do for me? Brown can Kiss my ass.

I fee slightly better now

Sorry to hear that @Clint_D

at least no one was hurt, yeah I hate folks that talk that sh1t as well but somethings are just out of our control

[Clint_D]

It could have definitely been worse and fortunately nobody was injured in either case!  It's going to stay parked as long as possible, I've always heard that unfortunate events happen in 3's.

F@ck that noise & drive it, hunted it down & bought it, might as well enjoy it.

All I've owned are trucks for almost the past 20 years now.  Just not a car guy.  I feel weird in cars.

Which truck would you rate as the most reliable? Ford? Chevy? Dodge?

That is such an open ended question with so many variables.  Gas or diesel…..1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, or 1 ton....model year or year range...

To give a short answer...if you are buying new then you can't really go wrong with a Ford or Chevy gas engine IMO.  Overall I prefer Fords.  Right now I have a 2016 F150 Lariat with a 3.5L twin turbo Ecoboost and I love it.  I would highly recommend and F150 if you're looking new.

[manufc10]

With that being said though…I think ford went to a 10 speed transmission on their F150s for 17 or 18...mine has a 6 speed....so I'm not sure what if any issues there may be with that.

Thx. I know nothing about trucks other than they would prove useful during harsh winters and for moving stuff around.
