        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

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                  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.

                        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.

                                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.

                                          The new F150 with the 10 speed is one slick ride. I prefer NA engines, but the Ecoboost (3.5) is a torque monster and super spirited to drive. The 10 speed is actually a huge improvement IMHO based on driving them both.

                                          For snow you will without a doubt want a 4x4 model- fords aluminum bed means less weight over rear axel without load.

                                          If snow isn't an issue, a RWD truck can be seriously fun [emoji12]

                                          I'm not an American motors guy, but Ford is killing it lately with their models the last couple years. Now if they would just offer the fusion wagon with AWD and three pedals in the US, I'd have a blue badge in the garage.

                                          Sorry for the detail, back to rants 🙂

                                            Had a RWD F150 that was a pig in snow but ran forever It was an '86 that had 250k+ when I sold it. It's the only thing I've driven where I didn't feel like I was wedged into a box.
                                            Toyota makes a good small truck, the 4 with turbo. I bought trucks because they were the least expensive drive on the market the  small Toyota with all bells and whistles is over 36k 😢  😠 that qualifies as a rant. Chevy and Ford 8's north of 40k with goodies. for a fuckin truck.

                                            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                            Well, I have others.
