Because people get on forums and shit all over these trucks. I remember researching these things and reading through this forum before I bought mine. These forums had me convinced not to get one.

I talked to a buddy of mine who runs a BMW indy, and he told me about his and actually talked me back into getting one. I believe the driving dynamics at quite hard to match in an SUV. After one full year, I do not regret my decision, the truck has excelled at what I require of it.

I also thought about vehicles like a Trailblazer SS, a similar performing vehicle, and the problems it has. Now in the used car market, these two trucks are in a similar price point, and if I had gone out and purchased one of those, I would probably have problems to.
