I buy a new truck every six months, never had anything major happen, knock on wood. I am in the business and have driven every type of vehicle, brand, cars, trucks, sports cars, exotics, all of them, new and used, they are machines with a millon moving parts, climate and fuel quality, maintence, blah blah all play into the problems, and it can happen to anyone. the new fords have the filter problems and horrible milage, the duramax need the allison reprogramed so it dosen't cook it self, and the dodge, well, won't touch that.
just kidding. I would recommend not being a A$$ to your dealer when you buy the truck, because as a sales manager of a store, the nice people who are not rude and don't talk down to the people that worked there after they just financed their new truck for 10 years because that was the only way the could afford it or get approved, get the best service, and the sales people are actually willing to go talk to the service manager and try to get you in sooner and pull some strings.

sorry about the rant.
