I just got a new P500 on my extended country route. It is a great truck, runs awesome, handles great, is very comfortable, the controls are very handy, overall it is a very nice truck. I am very greatful to have this truck. I am sure UPS paid big $ for this and all the new trucks they buy. Here is my concern, and I'm not complaining, just confused. This truck has only 1000 miles on it. It had 200 when I started driving it. From the first day I drove it , the brakes have ratttled and squealed every time I hit a bump, or apply the brakes. There is also a loud rattling noise from the front end, that isn't the brakes. The interior doors rattle and pop all day long also. It is a Workhorse brand truck. Is this just to be expected from all the trucks? I have driven a couple of the other new trucks in our fleet, and they have the same issues. If I paid big bucks for a new truck, and it rattled this bad, I would have already taken it back to the dealership. Again, I am greatful to have this truck, but wow, really the best ups can do? I can't wait for the tires to wear out, so they can be replaced by the junk recaps they put on the trucks, that give us the death wobble, and make our trucks veer all over the road!!
