(12,132 posts)The truck is a Ford Ranger so I'm not sure but I think it was assembled here.
I bought the pick-up used and the Chrysler new but I can tell you this: Never buying another Chrysler product as long as I live (and have a say). Until a few months ago at least I could say all the problems were cosmetic or electrical but now I have an oil leak somewhere too. Less than 70k miles on it so I don't think we beat it up. The headliner is falling down, half the electric locks don't work, the power side door works less than 1/4th of the time. It's been in the shop three time to have recall and/or warranty items replaced (including something to do with tie-rods or some such thing - important shit though that shouldn't be breaking at 40k miles). It's out of all warranties now though.
I've been very happy with the Mazda though. New tires, new brakes and regular oil changes and over 100k miles on it with no problems at all.
I've been eyeballing the new Camaros though. I think I would be happy with one of those even if it started having Chrysler like problems. My very first car ever was a 1968 Firebird I paid all of 500 bucks for in the late 70s and I want my midlife crisis car to hearken back to those glory days.
