My NEXT truck WILL NOT be FORD!

What happens here

The speaker contrasts his F-250 experience with a friend's Ram truck, which has endured numerous problems despite less demanding use. He then recalls a particularly problematic GMC dually diesel he owned decades ago, which was underpowered and plagued with electrical issues, leading him to swear off GMCs. Despite this past experience, he is now considering a modern GMC Denali, hoping for improved quality and performance in current diesel models. He advises listeners that vehicles often start having significant 'nit-pick' problems around 80,000 miles, suggesting it's a good time to sell a truck before these issues become too frustrating and costly. He seeks advice from viewers on what truck they would recommend for dependable work, luxury, and enjoyment.

Goal: Evaluate truck longevity and seek recommendations for a new, reliable, and enjoyable work truck.

have to lock her in four low in order to get this thing to actually move I'm never had to lock my ram in four low for plowing ever and I'm not saying I wouldn't buy another Ram no I'm not going to buy Ram just because the ram has a lot of small electrical issues but it's the Ram pickup truck with it's an older truck with more miles has had less problems than this truck has had right out of the gate with miles but Timmy's had everything under the sun wrong with his truck yes so we bought two identical Ram trucks Timmy's looks like this one yep and then yours was just a single C yes so Timmy's Ram has had it it transmission problems diff lock problems electrical problems and all he does is drive it he and he plows with plows snow and he does some Towing and Hauling like with us we're doing a lot more work with yeah Towing and Hauling and whatnot and putting loads on it yeah yeah so this truck hauls hauls loads every single week so it gets a lot of work so we've had a lot of experience putting it to work but I'm going to tell you right now I'm thinking about switching to a to a Denali for my next truck I wouldn't mind I've never driven a Denali I'd like to get a diesel I'd like to I I've heard good things about Alex is freaking trying to break down the damn everyone's door saying get diesel get diesel get diesel I kind of wanted diesel so I wouldn't mind I like all every every Rancher and person I know that does like horses and all the agricultural diesel all the way yeah cuz they're hauling even bigger loads than what we are will we switch to Gasser because we've I I firmly believe that but you also got in when they were doing all those switching over and all the efficiency and all that other junk when they were just prototyping all the diesel engines agreed uh and also my experience has been that the rest of the truck will fall apart when you use it for work like for a pure work truck the truck is going to fall apart around the engine your diff locks are going to go your are going to go uh you're going to have front end problems you're going to have all of these nitpicky things and you should be getting rid of your truck long before it starts to get to that nitpick stage because that's where it starts to drive you crazy you the truck may be paid for and you may be justifying that you own it but my opinion is about that stage the the fact that it's it's out of commission the fact that you're not working you're frustrated isn't worth it just get rid of the…
