I keep seeing comments like this come up whenever I post any recall story. It is almost getting to the point where I can literally count on it in the first 5 comments. Personally, I think he is wrong and, just to be clear, I don't take money.
IMO - the problem isn't that new trucks and SUVs are junk. It is more you hear about recalls and problems a LOT more often these days thanks to the internet. Also, NHTSA requires more recalls than they did in the past due to safety issues.
I also have owned several old trucks and I just don't see them as being more reliable, having better build quality and being superior to new trucks.
What do you think? How do you see it?
