Funny, I have had ZERO recalls on my truck(2005 Dodge Power Wagon). It has been in the woods almost every week since I bought it. Has pulled out other trucks people thought they would have to call in a wrecker for, Towed the bobcat 70 MPH down the interstate without even trying.
Now then, Being ex-chevy hardcore, and having been a chevy mechanic. I happen to know a few things about them. Last weekend at the hunt club, a guy with a chevy 1500(9 mos old) put his truck in 4wd and snapped one of those cheesy front shafts. on flat ground. He couldnt go anywhere. shaft was still in the hub. This is commoon too. Chevy does build a good motor, I have always thought that. But why buy a 4WD that sits 6 inches off the ground? For off-road use they suck, hands down.
If I break a shaft on my front end I can still drive home. My truck came with 33's stock. It has more cab room than a chevy, more power, and definately looks better. Chevy has some of the ugliest trucks on the road. The last good looking truck they made was the 99-01 silverado. Even their big trucks are ugly, like the new 4500.
The Japanese have no idea how to build a full size truck. Honda claims the Ridgeline to be a truck, It doesnt even have a frame. Their motors make all their power at mid to top end, not down low where a truck motor should.
We'll just have to settle it how we do down here. Bring your little pos chevy down here and we will put a chain between the two of em and see who pulls who.

My girlfriend drives a Dodge Stratus (only because it was given to her), needless to say last saturday was spent at the dealership having recalls done.
