LOL, love that drinking problem. Well I know the Z71s were/are great trucks when they first came out. Good for 400k anyway. I have no idea about the current ones.
I used to describe my 460 like a woolly mammoth. The tusk come out the grill depending on how much gas you want to give it. And then the other thing, it'll pass everything but a gas station.......I have to say it's certainly outlasted a lot of vehicles. When I see people I've known in my past and they see I'm still driving that truck. They ask if it still has the original motor in it. Yes it does

The 460 is legendary. Friend of mine's folks owned a Texaco in South Macon in the 80s. They also had a 64ish suicide door hardtop "Kennedy" Lincoln for YEARS. They pulled the ski boat and countless UHaul trailers ( they were UHaul dealers too) with that Lincoln. And that engine bay was FULL.
As late as 2013 I worked for the City of Warner Robins at the public works garage. They're hook truck style wrecker was a 93 F350 with the 460. Hard to beat that gas big block.

My grandfather bought an 83 XL long bed regular cab new and drove it until he died in 88. He only bought long bed trucks. When I asked why he told me "If you can't get a sheet of plywood in it and close the tailgate it ain't a real truck." On Sundays he would take it to the car wash open both doors and spray soap and then clean water over the rubber coated floorboard. Over the last few years I find myself looking at first gen Tundras with long beds and reg cabs. Same for F150s. One of my bosses asked why I wanted something like that. I told him "When I need a truck I need it for doing truck ****. I don't need and never wanted a show truck."

I learned early on, every household needs a truck. Even if you live in an apartment. Sooner or later you are goin to want to haul somethin

Yep, except the gas station. When I ordered that truck, no one knew anything about that engine. I know Lincoln first introduced it in 68. That truck has been the perfect love hate relationship

They did that back in the 80s. Tried to get better EPA estimates, but have more power for the customer. What they produced was problematic

I have a 22 Honda Passport with the V6 engine - it's a hoss for its size.

I wish Kia could import The Tasman. I would probably buy one and I know I would sell a **** ton of them.

2023 Chevy 1500 with every ****ing option on it 30diesel 4 x 4!
Yes, we are fools. We have four of these in our family or did have.
This is my son‘s truck less than 30,000 miles check engine light came on last month stayed the dealership 35 days!
Picked it up on Wednesday let him down on Thursday. Left him stranded at a business function with both of his young children with him.!
Made in America sucks, Chevy sucks big dicks!
No one cares. No one will respond to any accusations about the vehicles. We have no recourse.!
Truck would not start no matter how much boost you put onto it battery charger wouldn’t help no lights would come on horn would not blow nothing!
Dealership responded yesterday they have been able to get the truck to start, but it’s throwing all kind of code with a check engine light going on and off. They’re out of loss but told him to come pick the truck up. **** them.

Don’t pick it up if it ain’t fixed


Leave it there and start the lemon law paperwork


I have a 2004 expedition and I have no intention of getting anything newer than that

My next vehicle is gonna be the nicest 86-91 squarebody suburban I can find .

And every vehicle no matter what brand that was made after Covid is total garbage

I drive a 2016 Silverado 2500 HD El- Strippo work truck with the rubber floor and vinyl seats

And it’s been a good truck, 230k miles with zero issues,
But the 2500s didn’t have the V-8-6-4 DoD AFM cylinder deactivation garbage on them .

And they didn’t have the tail lights that are $1900 each . Etc


The day has arrived that the old cars are officially more reliable than the new ones

I think the sweet spot is 1991 ish to about 2005ish

Anything newer just is too complicated and has too much computer crap on it .

I had a 2015 Senta and the CVT went out 2k miles after the warranty expired. Traded it to another dealer (same parent company) and would never own another one.
I did hear that Honda & Toyota had their CVT transmission perfected.
