My 97 had the ball joint failure, but the good girl did it in front of my mechanic's shop door...! Loved that little truck, for 360K miles.
Can't stand my 09. Dang thing doesn't even have the decency to break down and give me a real reason to hate it. Then again, it's a truck, it's used as a truck, and it's stupid cheap to operate.
The new ones seem to be getting bigger, less reliable and still suck at fuel economy. Getting harder and harder to be a fan.
But then I have to take the Ford and the GMC into the shop, again, for stupid crap like ignition switches or whatever the bean counters figured they could make a little cheaper.....
