Will switch back to Ford
I have a 14 LT Z71 with the 5.3l V8 and 6 speed 6l80e Transmission that I purchased in 2018 trading in my 2014 F150 King Ranch. Problem #1 two weeks after driving it off the lot the torque converter failed and along with it went my pump and 1 through 4 clutch packs, and bell housing at 90k miles. It was a week long headache with GM for warranty repair but it was finally covered. #2 I did not notice it at first but after a couple of highway trips the truck shakes at 70-80mph and has for the 3 years I have owned it. #3 stabilitrak and anti theft would go crazy and not let the vehicle start, or throw codes. Dealership said they had no idea what caused it. I finally removed the dash and found that the ground wires for the stabilitrak and security system had been tightened into the anti static matting. I corrected my self and have had zero issues since in 3 years. #4 water would leak through the top and into the cab from the xm antenna. GM fixed it under warranty. Overall the truck is decent, I have done alot of repairs and made it mostly enjoyable but It will be my last GM product.

The Old Reliable truck
When I was a little kid, my grandparent has an old Silverado, we live a lot of adventures in that truck, until one day he died when I was 10 years old, he always said “That Truck is my life, and one day it will be yours”, but my parents decided to sell it, since that day I always dream to have one silverado, and my parents know it, so for my 16 birthday, they decided to buy me one, and that's the history of why i'm reviewing it, it's a nostalgic truck for me. The truck was created to work, hard work, that's why it has a destacable engine line up with more than 300 hp in a V8 form. What I like most about this truck is its power, which is what we all look for in a V8 engine, when you step on the pedal to accelerate, it responds quickly and with power, which is what a V8 is supposed to do, but also I have used this truck on my ranch to transport my horses, which must weigh between 500 kg, and the truck continues to work as if nothing happened, I have also used the truck to go out full with my friends, and it should be noted that I have quite a few friends a little overweight (John if you see this you know I love you bro) and the truck still has and felling with the same power. Another thing that I like and can highlight about the truck is obviously its height, it has a very good height if you want to use it for off road, which is not its main function, but it works well, in my experience it is quite good and I have never had a problem with some stone, pothole, or imperfection in my ranch. The last thing I would like to highlight about this truck is its 4x4, since unlike other trucks I have had, this one is not activated with a button, but with a lever that directly activates the mechanism, no button is better than a lever. Rest assured, obviously it works very well in both snow and mud, the traction is very good and I quite like it. Even though I like this truck a lot, I find a small one, which may seem very insignificant but it has bothered me a lot since I bought the truck, it does not have automatic controls for the mirrors, when I just bought the truck I was looking like crazy for the buttons, until I realized that it didn't have them, I mean if you want to change them, you have to get out of the truck and do it with your own hands, I know it's not a truck of the year, but bro, I have a 2002 F 150 and it already has automatic controls for this, bad there Chevrolet. To conclude, having said all of the above, and taking it into account, I give it a rating of -A, it is clearly not the best truck I have ever had, but it has sentimental value for me and that is worth more than anything else, leaving aside this, the truth is very good for work and even for the family, it is not the most luxurious nor the most expensive in the pick up segment, but it is very worth it.

2014 Double Cab LTZ 4x4
Been driving my 2014 Double Cab LTZ 4x4 now for about 3 months and 4000 miles. Purchased it from a local private seller who bought it new. You could tell this 71 year old man loved his truck, called it his baby. He had a glove box full of service records (truck has 95k miles) and it was babied its whole life. Used truck prices are through the roof right now and I was so fortunate to find such a nice example for KBB Private Party. Dealerships are asking crazy money right now. Mine has every option except sunroof which I don't really use anyway. I love having ventilated seats. After getting into a hot cab they're great and I'm sure the heated steering wheel will be nice during our mild winters. Never had these options before. I love the way the truck drives. It's quieter and smoother than 95% of all the vehicles I've owned and that say's a lot especially since its a pickup truck. Steering is quick and power from the 5.3 V8 is adequate. I've read the transmissions are prone to fail in these. Luckily mine had the fluid changed by the previous owner and he never towed so maybe this one will be trouble free. Mine did have the infamous AC evaporator failure/replacement at 40k miles by the dealer and seems to be working fine since. My heated seats don't work and I've read this was an issue on the 2014 model. I never used heated seats in previous vehicles (we live in the south) but I sure do like the ventilated seats, such a nice addition on those warm days. I feel pretty good about this truck and like it so much it has become my daily, even with higher gas prices.
