These machines will not justify the savings, as they will almost certainly require expensive repairs.

2018 Ford F-150 should be ignored, says expert / photo wikipedia.org2018 Ford F-150 should be ignored, says expert / photo wikipedia.orgA used car is often a better choice than a new one, because it is an opportunity to save a lot on the purchase of a car. But only if you know how to correctly assess the technical condition of a car that has already been in use.

However, even the good condition of the car does not guarantee that it will not break down after purchase. Thomas Marzukiewicz, an experienced auto mechanic and CEO of Truck1, which sells automotive and special equipment, told Motorbiscuit about three models of pickup trucks that you should not buy if they have already been used. According to him, he has seen too many problems with these machines.

2018 Ford F-150 You can be completely delighted with the exterior of this car, but the pickup has a failed transmission that constantly generates new problems. In particular, owners often complain about the difficulty of switching to a lower gear.

“They are not only expensive, but also affect the comfort and safety of the driver. In addition, there are numerous reports of early stalling and engine failure,” says the auto mechanic.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 This used pickup has a dynamic fuel management system, and it is this that generates most of the problems. Designers tried to make a system that would use fuel more efficiently, but drivers complain of problems with ignition. There are also reports of valve lifter malfunctions. The cost of replacing them starts at several thousand dollars, negating any potential savings from buying a used Silverado.

In addition, drivers have repeatedly complained about the low quality of the interior and other technical problems that quickly become annoying.

The automatic transmission can have problems with shifting gears, which makes the Nissan Titan not very pleasant to use.

In addition, it has a lower towing capacity and load capacity than its competitors. This is not a good option for those who need a powerful workhorse.
