I have been working on my nephews Suzuki King Qaud 300 and I now want to find the people who engineered this thing and kick them right in the n#%$, it has awesome features but the engineers were drunk or stoned.
You literally have to take off multiple parts to get to the part you want to remove...
I would put my 1985 Chevy C10 reliability up against any new truck, I could get in it and drive it to New York, I think it would make there and back without much drama even my 2004 Chevy Silverado and my 2006 Nissan Frontier for that matter.
The body on the C10 is rock solid with just surface...
I would like to see a real world test of how many things can be disconnected in a new truck to see if it will still run and drive to simulate 20 years from now when much of the electronic stuff will be non functional because its broken or bricked because the manufacturer doesn't support the...
I would like to see what the actual problem is, for a brake line to only last a year or two in a new truck is bad engineering, I have had old trucks that have never had to have brake lines and they were always covered in logging/mining road dirt.

Don't, tell who ever needs to jumped to call AAA, I ain't taking a chance on screwing up my electrical system on my $70,000 truck incase something goes wrong.
Another Another thing. If I had my way there would be no tarrifs and all auto import laws would be removed, it would be informational only, so basically NHTSA and EPA would be a ratings service with no ability to outlaw or prevent importing any vehicle.
Ratings would be..
A
B
C
D

Another thing, 75% to 78% of people in the USA can't afford a new vehicle at current prices, adding 25% to the price they already can't afford isn't going to get a whole lot iof sympathy from the majority of Americans.
I am in the cry me a river camp, I have not been able to buy a new Toyota Hilux or Toyota Land Cruiser 79 series for decades because of the 25% tarrif on truck (chicken tax)
A few pics of Gold and Silver Falls Oregon the lower pic is where a car rolled off the upper road, just to the left of where the falls start to go over there is an old logging road along that ran along the cliff.
