Is Owning an HDT a PITA?

Honestly,

 

If you want a reliable low maintenance truck, look at 06 and down trucks.    You won't get the wiz bang auto but, you get a truck that has nearly all the features without the ongoing emission system worries.     Personally I would even suggest a standard transmission if your so inclined.     These choices remove about 70% of the areas of issue for any truck.    Yea they are going to be older and have more miles and wear.     The newer trucks from all makes seem to have a shorter lifespan and the used market confirms that.    

 

As far as USAA, I still have my car with them, even when they did write RV policies they just brokered Progressive.    That is not a line of their business, no harm no foul.     I highly recommend their banking services also.

Mine is an 06 and it rather reliable. I have had to do little to it. Turn signal, wiper switch, alternator (mine fault). Just ordered  an  ac compressor. Mine leaking. Mine is also a Detroit so parts not an arm and leg.Once I got it registered no problem with insurance.
