Worst truck I ever owned is my 1969 Dodge W200 Power Wagon (still have it as a farm truck). Doors fell off it when it was only 8 years old. I've replaced the transfer case twice, fixed the front axle many times and even replaced half the frame twice. Literally cut the truck in half and welded in a new rear frame. Also had to make countless new driveshafts for it. It has the separate transmission and transfercase with a dinky little driveshaft inbetween that has always been a problem. This has to be the worst engineered truck I've ever owned. Also has a top speed of around 60 MPH with the 4.88 axles.
2nd worse was the International Scout II I drove as a John Deere sevice truck. Built like a tractor but also handled like a tractor. And, the sheet metal was the absolute worse I've ever seen on a road vehicle.
Longest lived truck I ever owned is my 87 3/4 ton, 4WD diesel Suburban. Made it to 520,000 miles before the engine blew to pieces. My son now owns it (with a second engine) and drives it in Colorado.
Never had a bad tractor (as far as design goes). But I've had a few Deere 1010s that looked like they were made from left-over parts - and maybe they were. I think the early 2010 Deere ag. tractors were absolute blunders, but I've never been fool enough to buy one.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
