Ok gave up on ford ranger, they are going out of production, and decided to small a vehical.
Started researching Chev. Colorado, truck, found front end , and tire problems, and few more problems. Gave up on that.
Ok, so started shopping for a Silverado!! Great, truck, and really good deals, but then I found out about all the brakeing problems, from about 2001 to 2006 or so, and maby 07 and 08. Rust on rotors, and calipers, and lots of problems with the actuation system. And the kicker, GM was stonewalling untill the Feds stepped in.
I know, this is old news, but I guess I missed it.
OK, a salesman at dealer e-mailed me that all these problems have been fixed, on the 2009 Model, Silverado's !!!
Can I trust him, ??? Does anybody here have knowlege of Brake problems with 2009 to about 2008 GM pickup truck ????
GM was blameing it on Road Salt. Funny their trucks are the only vehicals that were effected by the salt on the roads. Hmmmm ??
I can't find any confirmation, that the 09 models have had the Brakeing systems fixed.
Or maby all those postings on " edmonds.com " are bull ??
