What are the odds?!

So I've had my Nissan pathfinder for the last 8 years with little to no issues. Its been amazingly reliable. For the last 4 years I've been researching new trucks non-stop from before the new F150's came out to now the super dutys. I finally made my decision to go down to my friends dealership today while my kids were at school and place an order for a new F350 Lariat Diesel and what do you know on the way home my pathfinder breaks down and now I'm stuck waiting for a tow! What are the fricken odds of that?! My pathfinder must have overheard the news!

I don't think you'll be disappointed, neighbor! Sorry to hear about the Nissan, my wife's Raptor started throwing codes when my F450 arrived.

I'm having a similar problem with my Titan. Leaf spring bracket and UCA ball joint so far. An amazingly reliable vehicle over the past 10 years.

5th wheel prep
Adaptive steering
Value package
Ultimate trailer tow
Garage link
Wheel liners
Tailgate step (made the cut last minute)

Skipped the bedliner hoping to avoid the delays!

Neither of those are things I wanted. Led lights would be ok without the $4200 ultimate package and the blis required to spend $1100 more on the lights. That's ridiculous if you ask me.

But you'll literally never have to maintain the LED's, or shouldn't anyway. They're supposed to be lifetime bulbs. I also feel that BLIS is a must, especially when hauling trailers because its supposed to cover a 17' trailer or something also... but don't quote me on that length... but Mr. Truck stated that in his Ike video of the SD... I have to agree... a small car or motorcycle gets in your blind spot, it will not end pretty for that guy and everyone's day just got real crappy...

If you didn't find any other options in the package you found worthwhile I tend to agree. I have a cabin in the woods N of Leavenworth off Hwy 2 and I always need more light. The area around my new house in the Snohomish area is as dark as a cave. These LED lights are the second best I've ever seen, period. The best were on a $250,000+ Bentley Bentayga SUV and were also all LED. The Bentley lights were lethal, not just bright like on a SD.
