[QUOTE="JuanGrande62221, post: 3730651, member: 42748"] I buy a new truck every year or two. Out of the 17 I’ve had since 2000, 4 have been chevys and the rest Fords. There’s good and bad in all of them, I had a 2001 Chevy that the dealer couldn’t fix so I drove it down the street to the ford dealer and fixed it myself. I had a 2018 f150 that ford ended up taking back and giving me a new 2019. Due to being able to get a 2021 Silverado high country a lot cheaper than a 2021 platinum, I decided to try one again. Never had any issue out of the 6.2 v8, but constant electrical issues and they never were able to fix the radio/navigation/warning lights on the dash. In September I was in arbitration with GM. I started checking around and got a chance with the messed up current market to make a few thousand on it and trade for a 2022 f250. With 5k miles. About the same time I bought my last Chevy, I traded for my mother a 2021 GMC Yukon. Had issues with a seat belt, the rear hatch not latching and opening on its own, and the radio refusing to turn off (could walk by hours later and it was still playing, with the car off and doors locked). Took them three days to figure that out. I traded it before the first oil change for a navigator. My sister bought a 2021 1500 chevy LTZ last year. They had to send a wrecker to get it out of her garage, wouldn’t start when it was three weeks old. It sat at the dealership a few days, wouldn’t start for them and they never did figure out what was causing it. One morning they tried and it fired up, no problems since. The service manager said it he same thing happened to his wife’s 2020. Generally for decades fords and chevys have been mostly solid trucks, but from personal experience, I’d avoid 2020-2021s like the plague. Not sure if they have supplier issues or what the issue is.
