I suppose the days of a 20 year car are coming to an end. The cheaper, smaller cars and imports have never achieved that longevity. Remember the Mavrick and the Vega? Disposable junk. Followed by Subarus, Kias, Yugos...
The standard bearer of longevity was the commercial offerings and high end full sized cars and trucks, mainly because that was what that market demanded: A 200,000 mile engine and a 20-year body for those who needed a tool and chose a car or truck by its return-on-investment rather than its cup holders or WiFi.
Increasing CAFE demands, economic constraints, and frankly less-educated and less thrifty consumers are opening the door to lower standards across the product line.
Plastic oil pans? On commercial offerings like trucks? Come on now.
A lot of guys will take one look at that and buy a Dodge.
