I think you make a good point and ask a good question. I'm trying not to fall into the trap of, on the one hand, watching videos, talking to others, reading forums, and making the most informed decision I can, especially given how much trucks cost, while, on the other hand, not overthinking by putting outsized weight on what I see, hear, and learn from others and scare myself out of buying something I'd prefer. For example, when I'm out driving around, the one truck that gets me looking twice at it over my shoulder as I drive by one is a Silverado High Country. Man, I just love the looks of those and I read and hear about how they would tick a lot of the boxes I'd want. BUT, I see a couple videos about lifter failures and I freak myself out, imagining laying down $65k on something that has a major problem. So, then I think about another brand, watch a lot of videos, kind of get fixated on it as my probable choice, but then see or hear something about that brand. Then, someone wise points out we can find complaints online about any make/model, but the stats are on our side that most modern trucks are really good and the odds of getting a bad one are small, so then I tell myself to get what I want. I almost with I was a fanatic of one brand of another to make my decision making simpler, but I'm actually not.
