    Funny, my 2016 transmission has worked flawlessly from day one. It has this magic stick which protrudes out of the floor allowing me to control what gear the truck is in. It works every time.

    I've heard that about 2016 but my 09 has been bulletproof and still remains a fun one to drive all around the ranch.

    2017 forever. It’s 2020, so for those who weren’t here, we covered this already. The ‘17s set the benchmark.

    It’s the guys from Limp Bizkit doing car reviews. Not a lot of royalties these days.
