I have put a new truck on hold until I do some more research.

Ray. I have been in a new Dodge and Ford and I would still take my truck over the two. I have owned a lot of trucks over the years and this is the most comfortable and quiet truck I have been in. If or when you decide, just take it for a good test drive on the highway. They all don't have this issue.

I just looked at a 2014 GMC from a older couple with 8k on the odometer. They have not had any problems and it drove out fine. Has everything on it and had a hard cover over the bed. Thinking about it. I can save about 12k on the price of a new one.

Sounds like a good deal. I just spent $900 for a folding hard cover, it's sitting on the garage floor with running boards, bed rug and a leveling kit. Now all I need is my truck back.

Same here, I almost plunked down $10K on a leftover 2012 Ram after I sold the Monte Carlo. Glad I didn't, life happens and I would be having a tough time paying a truck payment right now.

Looked at a Tundra yesterday. Mine has been a really good truck for 10 years. Have had no problems with it. Only thing I guess Toyoto doesn't care about gas mileage. List the truck at 13 to 18 mpg. Thought the standard was to bring them up. My 2005 does better then that, but does have a smaller v8 in it. It still has plenty of power for what I need it for.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are alright. Drove a Ford F150 today with the V6 motor. Had plenty of power for what I need it for. Seem to be a nice truck.
