    Hi all!

    Just wondering if any of you out there have any experience buying a used truck from Truck Nation in Houston? We are looking at a truck there and would like to know anyone's experiences whether good or bad.

    Specifically, if the truck was represented fairly - were there any problems that they tried to hide or were they honest about the conditions of the trucks?

    We have seen one bad report on the internet about them so we are proceeding cautiously...

    Thanks in advance!

    A very good friend of mine bought a 5 truck matched group from Truck Nation in Atlanta(same people,just different branch). These were all 3 or so year old trucks with between 450,000-550,000 miles on them. Within 12 months, 3 of the trucks were down for MAJOR repairs. two of them had to have the motors rebuilt and the third had to have the transmission rebuilt. Now , I know that trucks breakdown(#### happens)...but that seems a bit excessive to me. Take it for what it's worth.
