Coolest truck on the planet? Nope.
Piss poor craftsmanship on the rear suspension? Yep
Wether it is was worth 28k, plus shipping? Depends,
I'm sure you thought it was a good deal or you wouldnt have bought it in the first place, correct?
Always remember the definetion of a good deal is that when both parties think the other guy got screwed, so perhaps you didn't get such a "good deal" this time but instead, you got what you paid for. You win some you lose some. If your not happy with the truck then you have options. Personally I'd quit whinning about it and move on, your not gonna get much sympathy here, just honest opinions especially since you didnt even take the time to go look at the truck in person. Buying a vehicle sight unseen is never a good idea.
You can sell it and try to recoup your funds or you can fix the things that you dont like about it. JMO
goodluck, Cp
