Sounds like you got one of the early 5th gens which had a lot of problems which are mostly worked out by now. Good luck with the Ford. In my experience Ford has just as many problems as Ram does and I hate to say it but the GM trucks probably have the least amount of issues among the domestic brands not that I would ever buy another one.
Normally I agree 100% with you brother, but the 15 Silverado I bought new was one of the most problematic turds I've ever owned.
Tons of recalls for stupid stuff, the rest they just deemed as "normal "
The worst shifting transmission I've ever owned
Made engine noise on cold starts in cold temps
Drivers side pdl squeaked if temps were below 50 degrees
Horrible laggy throttle response
Interior rattles (typical gm junk) after 2500 miles
Paint chipped off if you looked at it crooked
Waif thin body panels that would dent if I leaned against it and dropped a crooked fart. (Lol)
Thin aluminum hood visibly vibrated at highway speeds
I could go on and on and these were widespread problems. At least mine wasn't a vibrator, but many many had the vibration problem that was largely unresolved.
Gm junk still applies today unfortunately. In my opinion.
