      @Poulton Real The Nissan Jukes are nowhere near as popular as anything else in the segment. I see lots of Hyundai Konas and Mazda CX-3s/CX-30s, they'll probably last like 5 times longer than the ugly Nissan Juke, I dont know about Hyundais, but Mazdas will definitely last a long time. The only thing they used to have going for them is that they were cheap, sometimes by up to $5k compared to others. But nowadays the price difference is so slim, there's no reason to pick the Juke over anything else in the segment at this point. I have no idea what a Qashqai or whatever is though.

Friends would give me a hard time saying my purchase was overkill. Kept on explaining exactly what Scotty said, extra beefy parts all over and a proven pushrod 6.0 V8. Anyways the old gal was sold in 2018 and purchased another new one. Same engine and a 6 speed now versus a 5. Expecting another 16 years of relative problem free years..

There's cons. Gas variants make horrible mileage an are doggy pulling loads. Just don't get a HD truck if you have it in your head that its tough as nails an the ultimate truck. Pros an cons with everything.

Surprizingly no real rust or rot issues either, idk if they treat the frame different at factory, if it was a 1500 it would be a rust bucket just from driving on salted roads never mind plowing.

    I’ve got a 97 GMC Sierra 2500 with 667,000 miles. Still hauls heavy loads of nursery trees from Portland to Seattle every week. I’ve owned 3 fords and every single one of them have failed me dearly. Especially electrical and brake system. This GMC has only had an issue with the distributor and headlights. Easy simple fixes. If you want a truck that will WORK for the “long haul”, get a GMC. My own two cents.

      Stay away from the LB7 Duramax(2001-2004). The rest are reliable motors
      As far as Ford's go, stay away from the 6.0 and 6.4 power strokes. 6.0s can be reliable if you're willing to put some money into it. The 6.4 is a throwaway motor and the cores are running out. It'll be a dead platform here before too long. The 6.7 power strokes are reliable except for the very early variants. They had turbo issues but for the most part, they're reliable
