I keep thinking to my self maybe it's time to look at trading my 13' in on a new truck. I love it but its starting to show its age at 80k miles and the new 2021's are looking really good. Plus used truck prices are through the roof.
Anyone else considering the same move?
If I did buy a new one I would have to have it built. I've become picky over the years. :p
Decisions decisions.

My 2013 is approaching 160 k and I plan to keep it, but also buy a 2021 or 2022. Im not buying a new truck now though. They are having build quality issues at the plants and thats part of the reason for the delay in launching the new model. I will wait until all the bugs are worked out and drive my reliable 2013 with no stop/start or cylinder deactivation horse5hit.

It’s a bit of an urban myth at this point with several car enthusiast websites and YouTubers proclaiming that cars built during COVID-19 are inferior due to parts supply issues and inconsistency around plant closures and worker availability.
While there’s no qualitative evidence to support any claims at this point - If someone gave me a binary question (better or worse) if the quality of build got better or worse during a pandemic, I’d answer worse.
