To much. I purchased one just a few years ago to replace my 454, CC, dually Silverado. A buddy drives that dually almost every day...he is in love with it. I liked it also... 2" drop spindles in the front, aluminum Alcoa wheels all the way around and black with maroon leather seating...real easy to get in and out of. I put over 200,000 miles on it with VERY regular maintenance. Never a burp or a fart.

I almost need a ladder to get in and out of my F350 4x4. But...it goes through the shit pretty well and will tug the nuts off a bull rino. I like the 6 speed trans.

Bought an '18 Silverado. After 14,000 miles traded back to Ford. Ford being the much better truck. I should have kept the big black fat butt.

was it the dropping injectors,the magic vibrating transmission or just the general cheap feeling of a truck made for old men and girls (sorry old guys)?

We used to sell a lot of trucks but this last redesign has been a real slow seller and hopefully they redesign it again......soon

It was as you described. It was starting to get little rattles here and there, on our dirt road. Stealership couldn't find them, so I traded it in on a new Ford F250 that I am a lot happier with. The F250 is a lot better off road, as I to have to drive the back roads around here, sometimes and I don't have to worry about it like I did the Silverado.

My old 2002 F350 V10 4x4 is still ticking. I bought it new. It's been a good truck.

The Princess's '05 F150 still runs, at almost 300,000 miles, and has very few rattles. It's been relegated to farm duty, though.
