    New cars are a joke

    Picked up the 19 Colorado last week.
    Cooling system = fail. Heater core gurgles until up to temperature. Car play has glitched out multiple times. Found rust on rims behind wheel cover.
    Frame is paper thin and I seriously am concerned about how quickly it could rust through in my climate.

    What ever happened to a simple pickup truck with a bench seat, manual transmission, beefy suspension and frame?? Shit I don’t even need AC.

    Look for a nice used Toyota Tacoma and be done with it. New cars might be garbage, but they are also a complete rip off.

    Didn’t we just tell you in your other thread to buy a Toyota instead?

    You failed to heed that good advice.

    I'm a big fan of the used Tundra I got recently.

    I am with you there, except with a/c and 4 wheel drive for less than $20k. I don’t need all the whiz-bang gadgetry that makes modern trucks cost $40k+.

    Chevy’s are a joke.

    Everyone I know with Ford and Toyota Trucks have had good luck.
    Dodge and chevy, had issues.
