There is always a chance of getting a rotten one in a barrel.
It ain't what you want to hear, but I got a buddy I play golf with time to time who is the service mgr. at a stealership and although he'd never admit to it, he told me that late '07s and '08s are A LOT more problematic than previous years. Theory is with the $ problems a lot of lower quality components were sourced for about everything, right down to wires used coming straight out of China. Although this has never been "officially" confirmed...

Lemon... It happens to the best of them. My uncle just used the lemon law on his 07 Honda Ridgeline, and Honda's are supposed to be the end-all be-all for reliability. That thing was in the shop more than his garage it seemed like.
Rearend and steering racks are mechanical, the 2nd steering rack would bother me though...
Climate control, speakers, window regulator, and speedometer have 1 common denominator and can all be attributed to a faulty electrical system within the truck. Have they checked to make sure your alternator isn't pushing too much voltage???
Before my wreck I averaged around 800 miles a week on my truck. My commute to work is 130 miles roundtrip. My truck has been solid other than the EGR valve, and I drive it like I stole it....
