04 1500 silverado Z71 419.000 miles original engine only replaced water pump at 365.000. Original transmission serviced every 50 - 60 thousand miles. I do all maintenance. Construction work truck , runs great. Not worth much on blue book, but like gold to me. No payments since 08.
My 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab 5.9 L had 366,000 miles on it when I sold it 4 years ago! Still purred like a kitten. My current '07 Ram 2500 has 199K on it and runs smooth. Proper maintenance will keep most vehicles running well over 500K.
*hillbilly voice* "yeaaah I got me one of dem Ford titan 4x4 6.7L v8 with 777 hp 5lb ft of torque , I always had the 4 hi & low when I go off roading at the Costco parking lot." *Spits tobacco into empty can*
My 2001 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 with a 4.0L engine has just gone over 377,000 miles and still hanging in there. No problems with the engine using synthetic Quaker State oil. It's been 20 years this year I had it, but time is running out for both of us. Hope to ride off into the sunset together:-).
@@666dynomax Yes, Quaker State! I've taken a lot of ribbing from ppl thru the years. Mostly from Valvoline fans. You put a smile on my face with that great comment! Thanks. Hope all is well with you and yours...
Exactly. This study is bogus. The fact a truck is sold with 200K is not an indication of longevity, reliability, or anything else. For instance, Chey has a top end issue for most of their V-8's, of the 90's vintage. It was so bad, at 100-150K, out company dumped it's entire fleet. We switched to Ford and still have two 99's in our fleet today. We have 590K on a F150 and 750K on a 7.3 diesel. It's all about maintaining a good engine. Having said that, our 5.4 1/2 tons build after 2003 and 6.0 diesel were total junk. We currently have Dodge 3/4 tons diesels and Ford 1/2 tons with the 5.0. Trucks are a crap shoot these days. BTW, we are union so we try to buy trucks made in the States..... GM and Dodge build the majority of their trucks in Mexico. So, we have issue with that.
@@chuckhaugan4970 That's funny cause my company used Ford trucks( rentals ) for our fleet and they would all start breaking down almost like clockwork depending on the year/miles. Starters/alternators/ac/heater core issues/trim pieces breaking off like door handles/ electronic issues. I would swear there is a separate assembly line for Ford rental trucks that only hired the lazy, mentally unstable/drug addled worker. I could write a book about Ford truck problems going back to 1998 models to 2015 when I retired.
Just had my 2006 Ridgeline in for routine maintenance . Second time for timing and water pump. Closing in on 200k. I’m retired so I don’t need anything fancy. Bought it used from neighbor. Did some horse trading and he got my 2008 Acura. I got the Ridgeline for 3k and only 188k on it. Perfect For me. My kids make fun of me and my new truck. No payments and runs like a dream.
@@TheCaptainmojo1973 I agree lol. Mine is a '02 Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab 2.7 liter with over 416K miles on her and she runs like a champ after a rebuild of the engine. A free truck with a little bit of work and TLC can go a long way and run on forever.
I recently purchased a 2013 Ridgeline with 238K, I will be the first to admit it’s not really a traditional truck, but for someone who owns a home and just needs a truck occasionally they are just what is needed. It still rides like an SUV and feels like it has 50K on it.
I bought a 2013 Ridgeline RT, new off the lot, kept it 13 months, nice engineering, but, it had an easy way for the mice to get into the passenger compartment, traded it in for a new 2014 F150 STX, kind of "primitive", but, no mice can enter the passenger compartment, had 8+ years, no problems.
My grandfather made me a Ram lover. He owned a tire and repair shop. He would put over 500,000 miles before changing out vehicles. Never a major repair. Big believer in routine maintenance.
Pretty good If truck is kept up , it will last. I'm glad to see that the RAM, didn't make it on this list, it would have made me doubt the integrity of this video.
Dads 1988 Ford F250 w 7.9 International. 1,500,000 miles. Donated to church charity needing a new steering wheel. Fixed and given to poor family. Still going. My father is a fantastic mechanic. He kept that truck going. The lower end was never overhauled.
My '89 4-Runner lasted 18 yrs/200K miles and still ran perfectly--she was totaled by a 90 yr old dementia driver who pulled out in front of me in 2007....Bought '07 Taco that I drove until 6 months ago (109K miles, no repairs....changed oil myself every 8K mi. with full syn -10K-15K oil and Bosch filter)...Still running perfectly when I traded in for used 2019 Tundra Platinum/FX (38K mi., musta been freeway miles at 19K mi./yr)....This will last me until somebody takes my license away in 15-20 yrs (am 76).... ;o)
YOU Sir !!! Are a recreational driver !!!!! 5-6 years on my Chevys !!! 3 years have that many miles !!!!!!! N carrying ALL my Carpentry tools 1000 lbs every day !! Pulling trailers LOADED !! 🖖🏼🖖🏼
My 2003 F150 5.4 2 valve has 409,000 miles and runs perfectly. I use 0w30 oil. It's all original powertrain . The Modular engines like thin oil at startup.
Yeah my 94 K1500 had to have the exhaust intake gasket replaced rear brake line replaced oil and filter where it was a slow leak of oil at the filter and needed tightened after changing for a nice price of almost $800 dollars but it runs and sounds like a new one now with only just over 116,000 original miles on it and is a daily driver putting at least 13,000 miles each year on it to work and back !!!
Good solid truck. Our 2017 F350 crew srw is now just past 101,000 miles with just basic maintenance in my home garage or at the desert while camping🙂. Hoping to get it to 1 million miles in a couple of years as we travel a lot. Good ridin' to you and your super duty.
Have a '94 Dodge Ram 1500, for the most part seriously neglected, including periods of it not being moved or started for years at a time... recently just put on newer tires and engine still going strong as ever! The things a beast! The dash may not exist and headlight cover hangs by a thread...but who cares? It's been paid off for a few decades and the 4x4 is still reliable.
I made 780,000 klms out of my diesel Toyota Landcruiser auto 80 series 4wd here in Australia before replacing the head! 100klm = 62 miles. Great build quality, great design and good maintenance = high longetivity!
Several months ago, at Chicago auto show, Nissan frontier with 1,000,000, yes 1 million miles was introduced. A man used his truck for delivery service and Nissan found out about the truck, purchased the truck from the man and showed at the autoshow. Nissan also handed the man with a key to brand new Nissan frontier. You can look up 1 million mile Nissan frontier. Toyota, chevy, ford, ram, yes they are good trucks. Nissan frontier is a also a good truck and under valued.
2011 Silverado 2500HD with a Duramax with 514500 miles on it and totally stock. It's been my daily commuter from Carlisle, Pa area to Baltimore, Md since new. 17.5 mpg calculated. Original turbo, exhaust, fuel injectors, transmission, shocks, replaced the DPF once and the normal DEF issues involving the 9th injector.
2007 ram Megacab with a 5.7 hemi 253k miles at the moment with the same oil pressure it had when I bought it at 100k miles. Normal maintenance is the key and driving it with some respect. I dont know that it won't blow up tommrow but it's been solid so far.
I don't know, but I might be old school still, but I believe Chevy's 283 was the best one that they ever built period but I have always said from the great 348 to the fine 409 which were in some cars but I believe that they were actually truck engines, and Dodge's 225 slant six, and their 318 and I throw in the 383 was one HELL of a motor, and of Ford's all I ever had is their six in a 60 model, 292 in a 54 model I believe and I want to say a 360 or so in a 61 model and those were all pretty good motors, no fancy electronic crap but a simple points and condenser set up for a simple grease monkey, I would still take one of them today over all of this crap we have now, plus they were all built in the USA and they were made HEAVY ALL METAL AND NO PLASTIC
@@loveydovey4u I drive it as if it's the last truck I will ever own ... I change the oil every 3 to 4 k. I dint expect it will last forever but will take every mile I can get lol. Not like I can afford a new one at the crazy prices they want for them.
I loved my Tundra! It was my favorite vehicle I’ve owned. (I’ve had Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, Dodge(husband’s truck)& Toyota) I will forever be a Toyota customer because of the reliability.
It all boils down to proper care and maintenance. If you are a turn key and drive kind of person you won’t make any vehicle last. Take care of it and it’ll last. I don’t doubt there are lemons in every brand but usually if you care for it it’ll be reliable.
YOU'RE 100% RIGHT. I OWN A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT I PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS 284, 598 MILES AND STILL GOING STONG. IT'S NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, TUNE UP, RADIATOR FLUSH AND CHANGE THE SERPENTINE BELT EVERY YEAR. OTHER THAN BRAKES PADS, ROTORS, BATTERY AND AN ALTERNATOR, HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN YET.
@@timothybutler9859 My 2001 has over 340000 and still runs good. The law of averages are working against it but I'll be faithful to the end with maintenance.
Except a 2021 Ford f 150, plastic oil pan, plasici take, late model 3 valve cam phasers, spark plugs with just 4 threads, flying through the hood, new transmissions failing after leaving the dealership.need I say more, to bring back quality Farley needs to be terminated with 2 week pay min, no more.
I have sold cars at 5 major dealerships. Ford is the #1 seller because Ford Motor Company only sells Ford trucks, where GM sells Chevy and GMC trucks. If you combine Chevy and GMC sales they would greatly surpass Ford sales. My last 2 trucks were Dodge Dakotas, which I loved, and my son had a 2002 Ram truck with well over 200K miles when he traded it for a newer one. It still ran and performed great. My next truck will be another Dodge.
If you want to see super high mileage come to Africa, where people import vehicles used in other countries after 7 or more years. And still they use it daily for like over 30 years still doing daily work. U will get mileage of 1M miles.
I'm going for an 2008 Tundra 5.7 4x4. Found some for $8000 to $10,000 with around 120,000 to 160,000 MLS in great shape. Some of them have been well taken care of.
I have a 2004 2wd single cab silverado 1500 wit a 4.8 vortec 2nd owner bought it wit 65,000 miles on it nice clean truck all stock & all original except cold air intake from K&N I've been doing reg maintenance on it and now 253,680 miles strong changed alt kept original one changed battery changed knock sensors changed brake pads changed tires. The oil stick never seen dirty oil on it. I Love My Truck & I believe my Truck loves me too.my wife keep telling me to get a newer truck wit less miles on it I keep saying ok and today as my only truck a daily driver which is my only vehicle I own is still going strong.my wife keep saying you love your truck more than me lol I told my wife no your wrong because I still have you too. I wouldn't trade or give up my wife and my GM 1500/4.8 truck. 😁
@@marcelo403polo2 Uhm, actually they did. Here's how, "Silverado" used to be a trim package before became the actual name of the truck. So, a 4×4 Chevy truck with upper options would be like this: Chevy K1500 Silverado. Nowadays it's: Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ.
I own a 2016 Ram 1500 Lonestar. Run it like hell 200,000 miles. Only thing I've had to replace is water pump, fuel sending unit, and battery. Still feel that HEMI power when I floor it. I think it can easily make 500k. We'll see......
@@benkenny3220 I’ve seen too many fords with engine issues before 40000 miles and electrical issues on the chevys. I’ll never go back to those. Never any issues with my rams.
Got a 06’ v8 4.8L Chevy Silverado with 213k miles running strong. Had a light tick come on around 200K but since then have been mixing oil additive from Lucas amd has cleared up that slight nuisance. Hoping to do a $1k maintenance on it, replace spark plugs/wires, change out fluids and filters. The whole 9 to hopefully get another 100k miles out of it 👍🏼
Change your oil every 5000 to 8000 miles. If not more frequently. Do not, DO NOT, use 20 weight oil. Use only 30 weight or if you live in a hot climate, 40 weight. Constantly check your dipstick, never let you engine run low on oil. Never let your cooling system run low on fluid. USE ANTIFREEZE!
I sold my 2000 S-10 Blazer ZR2 in March of 2021. I drove it for almost 19 years. It had 163k on the speedometer when I sold it to a young mechanic friend of mine. The only problems I had were replacing the intake manifold gasket and the ABS. I repaired the ABS myself. I never had a single problem with 4.3 engine period. I maintained it with oil changes and so forth. The 4x4 mechanism always performed the way it was designed. I know that there are vehicles out there with the same story, but unfortunately sometimes people purchase a lemon
How do you like them gus prices ? Is over $4.6 here in washington state. I've seen $5.0 in one town. California is getting up to $6.0. I think that cheap gas prices in America are over. 26 gallon fuel tank at $5.0 a gallon 4x a month will set you at $500. If it stays at $5. The talk is more $8.0 plus. Thats why im holding out on getting a full size p/u truck. And they are way overpriced.
There are 2 secrets 1st Cummins, 2nd 2003 use it rebuild it and go again 2003 was before EPA got in the act & did everything they could to ruin the USA
@Jean Toronto Raptors I dont have a V8 full size p/u truck. I drive a 5.7 grand cherokee 11 to 12 mpg. And i mean i drive it. It doesn't just sits there I use it all the time. 21 gallons at 4.20 ( thats the lowest price here ). $ 300 to $ 340 a month. And thats just at the current price. But like i said its only a matter of time where it will hit $5.0 and it will only keep on rising. My jeep is smaller and way lighter then any full size p/u truck & stiil only 11 tp 12 mpg. That was fine when the gus was under $ 3.5. But those days are gone. And I'm afraid so is the old America and actually the whole world for that matter. They sold the public nothing but hysteria fear and lies over the last two years. They call it a Worldwide Reset now, but we know its the Nazi fascists luciferian NWO. And if dont comply ( no shot ) guess what. Look at World War II concentration and prison camps. Countries, Nations and their leaders got paid to keep the lockdowns & the LIE going. Now what was once a white Christian Democratic Republic ( Australia ) has become a fascist state. And their own people are now prisoners of their own so called Democratic Kingdom and their so-called elected Kings / officials. And it's only the beginning. It will soon come here to America. So yeah the world as we know it is is over. It ended in December 2019. That's my rant for today.
My buddies 2000 chevy 6.0 has 330,000 miles and has had an engine tick for the last 30,000 miles. The transmission just failed now. He said it is usually 280,000 the transmissions fail on those.
My '94 2500 Silverado has, as of 10/2022, 415K miles. It has never been worked on by a garage - just me. The only work I did was an engine (4 bolt 350ci) and tranny (4L60E) overhaul which included new radiator & water pump. My girl has her original rearend, drive line, u-joints, brake drums/rotors, etc. A lot of the clearcoat has flaked off and a leaking brake line on a semi I followed left it's marks on the hood and roof. I attribute her longevity to her good family roots (Bowtie) and regular oil/filter changes. I got her from a friend's credit union (divorce sale) with 24K miles in '95 and have personally put all the miles on her. I am almost 80yo and when I am gone I am sure one of my grandsons with give her a new paint job and keep on truckin'.
@Cuthbert Bracegirdle that’s a funny comment. 2003 was a good year for the Silverado. Many are still on the road with mileage comparable to my truck or more. As for Toyota, I want a truck not a lifted Camry.
My buddy has a 2003 Chevy Duramax with 450,000 miles and he doesn't let it warm up or cool down and it's still the original engine and allison transmission. He said about every 150,000 he puts new injectors in it, because it cranks hard, when they get weak.
@@sheldo8083 $2800 for the first set from the chevy dealer. $1800 for the second set from one of the diesel shops. Now he wants to buy an after market set from the internet for $800, but he is worried about the quality of those...
@@MyLifeThai371 thanks... I thought they were quite expensive but I guess it depends who you get them from and of course the quality. One of the reasons I stayed with gas vehicles. I also don't need that kind of towing power.
No worries gentlemen!!! Ford has a bunch of 7.3 now.....its back! You can now get a 7.3 on a brand new truck and that is pretty darn cool. And of course, its a gas not diesel but its a 7.3L 😉.
My 1994 Dodge caravan has 196k, and the darn thing won't quit (hope it never does). Mechanic says run it till it drops. Some kid wanted to buy it the other day. It actually looks pretty good. Its a great utility truck. V6
ANY truck can have 200,000 miles and still run perfect. Mine has over 250,000 and runs and drives just as good as it did brand new. It's ll about how you drive it and maintaining it
Not always true some just do not last due to engineering. Bad design cannot be over come by good maintenance. Plenty.of cars and trucks never see 200k due to bad designs and cheap plastic engine parts. Tons of cars and trucks fail cause they were not properly tested before selling them some flaws take a while to show up. But.many are just bad dedign bad quality control in assembly etc.
Never had good luck with Chevy trucks and vans. Down through the years I have worked at different companies that used them, there track record was really poor. The first company had 6 of them 4 V8’s, 1 V6, and 1 in-line 6. In the 4 years that I worked there, all of the V8’s blew head gaskets, some of them more than once, the V6 twisted the centre out of the flex plate on the back of the engine, and the straight 6 was less of a problem with only a clutch. These all had less than 60,000 miles, and all of them were thirsty. The next place had 2 of them, also high maintenance, the only vans that could go in for service 2 months in a row, and spend over $1,000 on them without being driven in between. The best GM product I ever had was one that I dragged home in a basket when I was 16, and assembled myself.
I have two trucks with close to 300,000 miles on them, a 2007 Chevy 1500 -298,000 miles, and a 2004 Chevy 2500HD Duramax Diesel with the Allison trans-294,000 miles. The trans was replaced on warranty @ 46,000miles on the 07, and I replaced the motor @ 253,000 on the 07 as well. I had water in the oil and as my mechanic put it:" at 253,000 I think you got your money's worth!" I agreed. Both trucks are going strong and haven't any plans to replace either one. I fully expect the 2500 to get to 1 million miles, as a couple guys at my former job did exactly that, one with a Dodge (Cummins) and the other a Chevy Duramax.
My 2003 tundra has 260,000 miles. Runs like new and very smooth ride. I change oil every 3000 miles. I convinced my niece who likes dodges , to purchase one also in 2003. She travels a lot and out 349,000 miles on it in about 4 years. She like me, likes the appearance of the dodge trucks, dodge puts their attention on appearance, not engineering. She traded the Toyota, not using oil, no smoking, and everything working for another dodge. It left her stranded twice in 8 months.. I believe that the Toyota in a V8 lasts longer than a smaller engine. When manufacturers get more horsepower out of a smaller engine by turbocharging it puts more stress on engine parts. Sadly, I’ve been told that Toyota is not going to offer the v8 any more.
I have a 2003 Tundra and the only issue I've had is the EVAP code coming on occasionally. Most times I just clear it and keep going but changed the gas cap and it's not come on for months now0---fingers crossed. But I've seen these models priced insane as used trucks even before insanity blew up the car market last year. I've saw a clean 2003 with 285k miles still asking over $10k.
2005 4x Tacoma 206k miles 6sp man. However 3rd gear will grind now and then, use caution or move 2 to 4th gear. No major work. Still have original discs with new brake pads. Engine does not seep oil bone dry unlike some other engines. Changed out all hoses thermostat water pump. Runs great!
Just sold my 1992 F250 diesel with half a million kilometres ( 320,000 miles). Runs like a Swiss watch, used 1 litre oil per change, had it for 15 years, always did maintenance , very little repair, only a junk yard CPU , 1 calliper and brake lines, one wheel bearing, u joints, a couple of glow plugs. That’s it, plus regular expendables. Wow, most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Got $5000 for it.
@@icosthop9998 2002 GMC Crew Cab 4X4 Duramax. 2" lift, CPU tuner, intake & exhaust etc. Good shape but Needed rocker panels and a bumper (as usual with them) Used the push on with body glues type rockers -easy. Then rocker guard and touch up paint. looks factory. New tires and I have a $17,000 truck for a lot less
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 5 lug w 2.7 liter 4 cylinder currently with 360,000 miles. No repairs what so ever, no rattles, no broken switches. Everything works perfectly. Just diligent maintenance. Only bad thing is I would like a new truck but can’t justify the expense. May buy the 2030 Tacoma.
For motors..ford 300 inline six is million mile motor. Not km. MILES. I have hit over 1 million several times with Ford's inline 300 6cyl. Very reliable. Good torque close to 400 ft/lb torque just not much hp at 250. HP. Ford
Lawsuit just filed over that 2013 Chevy Silverado for bad transmission on the 5.3 engine. My 2013 GMC Sierra 6.1 runs like a swiss watch, check out the lawsuit lol. Some lawyer needs more plaintiffs...
the new silverados are crap, anything prior to mid 2000's were solid. but ever since they got bailed out by the fed in 2008, they have significantly lowered their quality standards.
I have a couple F-150 Fords pickups 2001-2004 they've been running great never had to really put no money into none of my truck just normal stuff brakes normal stuff tune-up very good running trucks
If it's a diesel and I know it is, it's been fixed and repaired numerous times over those 420k miles. Hell anything will keep on running if you keep on repairing and replacing parts🤪☝️
@@drofdoctors7887 what vehicle doesn't need repairs? Point is the motor, trans, and body are original. Furthermore do you maintain your vehicle or throw it away when it needs an oil change?
1988 toyota pickup...still running...no engine job no 4speed manual repair...just pressure plate change this year...needs a hood body job after all this time
Ford, Dodge, and Chevy 1997 through 2003 were all very solid and reliable trucks. Stay away from the Ford 3 valve 5.4 and the Chevy "active fuel management" trucks.
Maybe if you live in a dry climate like in Arizona. Here in Ontario Canada, most cars and trucks die of corrosion long before they have a chance to wear out....
F150 and other F series trucks are favorites for ambulances,wreckers police ,construction and forestry .They keep records on the cost of maintenance and in most cases FORD has been the choice more than 50% of the time.GM owners,i was one of them for many years.live in denial that their trucks are no longer what they used to be..the last good one ,id say was the 1972
Sold my ‘01 Tundra after 18 years of great service with 408K on it. I know I could have easily driven it another 150K if I had too. Superior vehicle. Bought it new.

@@gwats19577 unfortunately nobody is making quality vehicles anymore it costs too much, and I’m not overly impressed with Ford and GM either. Especially Ford they have made a great deal of garbage over the years, especially their engines.
Have a 2015 Ram Hemi and have not had a minute trouble.love this truck! I haven't spoke to Dodge owners who don't love thier truck. The Ridgeline isn't a truck, it's a car frame and a weak truck body. It's good for going to the grocery store. Don't try to tow with it!
That’s the point of the Ridgeline though. It’s a truck for people who admit they don’t really need a truck. The problem is the price. Once Ford figured out “Hey, let’s make an affordable version of that” the Maverick was born and people love that thing.
My 2002 nissan frontier turn 20 year last month (June).I am the third owner. It have 135 k miles runs great only the oil dip stick (cable) broke. Great work truck love it.
I don't drive it too much but my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 294cid has 270.000 km ( almost 170k miles) and it still awesome. Just an air intake gasket and a new fuel pump. Now it's time for the lazy O2 sensors and shock absorbers.
F350 7.3 L with 1,230,000 on it and still going without a overhaul or a new turbo! Wish toyota made a one ton truck Also have a 05 frontier with over 200k just replaced the alternator. One tuff lil truck!
@@mike19640 Exactly. I had that very problem with my 2004 Frontier, but my 2012 Frontier PRO 4 X did not give me any issues. Finally traded it in on a 2020 Titan because I needed to pull a larger trailer.

Good but not extreme in today’s computer controlled vehicles if not abused and with proper maintenance. Kudos none the less. I tow RVs commercially with 14 Ram Ecodiesel. 371k low coolant it pushed a head gasket. 423k on 2nd motor it cracked a head. Business partner had 452k on his ED when the fuel pump filled a cylinder with shrapnel. Towing RVs is hard on em.
Officer for sofa I bought a total of five Fords trucks. Doing those years I had put so much money and those five trucks. It seems like after two years they just start falling apart. Jump to Toyotas and it's like night and day as far as maintenance and the upkeep and keeping money in my pocket I would never go back to forward maybe Chevy but no Ford they are not reliable.
I agree..in my long driving life I have had Nashes (yes, I am that old), dodges, fords, chevys, pontiacs, 1 mustang, one olds cutlass, Datsun and Nissan, multiple Toyotas, VW beetle, izuzu truck and 2 mercury marquises…all were good because I changed oil & serviced them around 2-3 thousand miles, even dealers said it was too much..but I never had an engine or transmission fail…biggest item was air condition units.
Definitely should of replaced the Ridgeline with the Nissan Frontier. Frontiers are solid pound for pound Tacoma competition. I see way more older/newer frontiers than ridgelines on the road
I have a ,2003, F250 Super duty with a 4.7 engine with 256,000.Miles, I’m the original owner, I had changed the timing chain at 100,000. Miles, is running good, on synthetic oil, every 4000. Miles
It's obvious who isn't mechanics in the comments. Toyota is always more reliable for many reasons, but it boils down to, they're just engineered better than anything else.
Currently own a 2014 chevy silverado 4.3l v6 LT and I love this thing. Got it a year ago with 117000 miles and it Currently has 154700 miles and it hasn't given me any problems. My 2006 pilot was the best vehicle I ever owned it lasted 285000 miles all on the original transmission and I kinda want another one.
What about smaller trucks like Ford rangers? Have a 94 with 98000 miles on it and no rust. Has a 5 speed and the 2.3 4 cyl. motor. Keep it tuned up with frequent oil changes, they will run forever!
I had a 1988 Dodge Dakota my father bought new. He bought the most basic truck available. It was the V-6 ,five speed manual trans,no A/C,AM radio, no cigarette lighter, long wheel base truck. He drove it for a couple of hundred thousand miles. Then I got it. One time it blew a freeze plug and I kept driving . When I got home it wouldn't run but 5 miles per hour it was spark knocking so badly. Got home and popped the hood and the whole engine was glowing red. Next morning put freeze plugs in it cranked it up and drove it over a million miles before the crankshaft broke into . Which broke in away that both halves still turned and made it home. It had 1 trans and 1 rear end replaced in that million miles. Other then ordinary maintenance ,that was all. Part of the key to longevity is service ,and the other is don't do more then it was designed to do ,along with when it got old, it was driven like it was old .Not Grand pa'ing it but not drag racing either.
No matter how reliable they are, it all depends on the owner. Good care
understatement of the year
Yep… if you take care of it… it should run forever. I’ve had my truck for over 25 years.
But no.matter the owner some just are not engineered or built well enough to get to 500k miles.
04 1500 silverado Z71 419.000 miles original engine only replaced water pump at 365.000. Original transmission serviced every 50 - 60 thousand miles. I do all maintenance. Construction work truck , runs great. Not worth much on blue book, but like gold to me.

Yes, oil change on par, #1.
I totally agree Paul
Exactly. This study is bogus. The fact a truck is sold with 200K is not an indication of longevity, reliability, or anything else. For instance, Chey has a top end issue for most of their V-8's, of the 90's vintage. It was so bad, at 100-150K, out company dumped it's entire fleet. We switched to Ford and still have two 99's in our fleet today. We have 590K on a F150 and 750K on a 7.3 diesel. It's all about maintaining a good engine. Having said that, our 5.4 1/2 tons build after 2003 and 6.0 diesel were total junk. We currently have Dodge 3/4 tons diesels and Ford 1/2 tons with the 5.0. Trucks are a crap shoot these days. BTW, we are union so we try to buy trucks made in the States..... GM and Dodge build the majority of their trucks in Mexico. So, we have issue with that.
*Laughs in Chrysler transmissions
@@chuckhaugan4970 That's funny cause my company used Ford trucks( rentals ) for our fleet and they would all start breaking down almost like clockwork depending on the year/miles.

My '94 2500 Silverado has, as of 10/2022, 415K miles. It has never been worked on by a garage - just me.

Not always true some just do not last due to engineering. Bad design cannot be over come by good maintenance. Plenty.of cars and trucks never see 200k due to bad designs and cheap plastic engine parts. Tons of cars and trucks fail cause they were not properly tested before selling them some flaws take a while to show up. But.many are just bad dedign bad quality control in assembly etc.
Never had good luck with Chevy trucks and vans. Down through the years I have worked at different companies that used them, there track record was really poor. The first company had 6 of them 4 V8’s, 1 V6, and 1 in-line 6. In the 4 years that I worked there, all of the V8’s blew head gaskets, some of them more than once, the V6 twisted the centre out of the flex plate on the back of the engine, and the straight 6 was less of a problem with only a clutch. These all had less than 60,000 miles, and all of them were thirsty. The next place had 2 of them, also high maintenance, the only vans that could go in for service 2 months in a row, and spend over $1,000 on them without being driven in between. The best GM product I ever had was one that I dragged home in a basket when I was 16, and assembled myself.
I have 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 (Cummings turbo) with almost 300K - lasts because I take care of it.
My 02 Dodge has 404k miles and runs better than new. Maintenance is cheaper than payments. My 1996 4 Runner has 197k miles and still runs great.
My 2005 suburban now has 667.000 miles. I change my oil when it's time, and change parts when needed. I also do a lot of praying 🙏.
Prayer you can't beat that! God bless building the relationship! Alot of people don't understand that.
God bless america
Geeeezzzz!!!
@@rickbaker9053 I do !!
I have two trucks with close to 300,000 miles on them, a 2007 Chevy 1500 -298,000 miles, and a 2004 Chevy 2500HD Duramax Diesel with the Allison trans-294,000 miles. The trans was replaced on warranty @ 46,000miles on the 07, and I replaced the motor @ 253,000 on the 07 as well. I had water in the oil and as my mechanic put it:" at 253,000 I think you got your money's worth!" I agreed. Both trucks are going strong and haven't any plans to replace either one. I fully expect the 2500 to get to 1 million miles, as a couple guys at my former job did exactly that, one with a Dodge (Cummins) and the other a Chevy Duramax.
I got a dodge ram I bought in 2018 and got 261000 on it and still going.
My 2003 tundra has 260,000 miles. Runs like new and very smooth ride. I change oil every 3000 miles. I convinced my niece who likes dodges , to purchase one also in 2003. She travels a lot and out 349,000 miles on it in about 4 years. She like me, likes the appearance of the dodge trucks, dodge puts their attention on appearance, not engineering. She traded the Toyota, not using oil, no smoking, and everything working for another dodge. It left her stranded twice in 8 months.. I believe that the Toyota in a V8 lasts longer than a smaller engine. When manufacturers get more horsepower out of a smaller engine by turbocharging it puts more stress on engine parts. Sadly, I’ve been told that Toyota is not going to offer the v8 any more.
I have a 2003 Tundra and the only issue I've had is the EVAP code coming on occasionally. Most times I just clear it and keep going but changed the gas cap and it's not come on for months now0---fingers crossed. But I've seen these models priced insane as used trucks even before insanity blew up the car market last year. I've saw a clean 2003 with 285k miles still asking over $10k.
JUNK DODGE
My 2010 Ram runs like new. 260,000 miles update me.
Because the 2003 Tundra have the 2UZ FE V8 engine, the most reliable engine ever built in Toyota Corp.
I think the 4.6l is a hidden million mile motor
2005 4x Tacoma 206k miles 6sp man. However 3rd gear will grind now and then, use caution or move 2 to 4th gear. No major work. Still have original discs with new brake pads. Engine does not seep oil bone dry unlike some other engines. Changed out all hoses thermostat water pump. Runs great!
You can remove the Stick Shift and replace the rubber bushing and perhaps it will fix it.
Try Amsoil lube for trans
I have a 2006 Dodge 2500 5.9. I have had very few issues. So far 240,000 mls.
2000 Dodge with the Cummins, 252K, just upgraded to a triple disc auto, should be the last truck I’ll ever need, my tow baby!
1973 GMC Stepside 4x4 350 4spd with granny ,, 487,000 plus miles same motor !!
On driver 2002 Ford f150 lariat with a 5.4 Triton motor has 180,000 miles and still taking never had the motor apart just keep the oil change
Just sold my 1992 F250 diesel with half a million kilometres ( 320,000 miles). Runs like a Swiss watch, used 1 litre oil per change, had it for 15 years, always did maintenance , very little repair, only a junk yard CPU , 1 calliper and brake lines, one wheel bearing, u joints, a couple of glow plugs. That’s it, plus regular expendables. Wow, most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Got $5000 for it.
Turbo or no? Turbo diesel killed 6.4 engine. 6.7 is good from what I've been told.

What vehicle do you now own that you replaced that one with ?
@@icosthop9998 2002 GMC Crew Cab 4X4 Duramax. 2" lift, CPU tuner, intake & exhaust etc. Good shape but Needed rocker panels and a bumper (as usual with them) Used the push on with body glues type rockers -easy. Then rocker guard and touch up paint. looks factory. New tires and I have a $17,000 truck for a lot less
I have 264,000 miles on my 1997 Ford Ranger 6 cyl. 4.0 liter XLT. Engine still growls when passing another vehicle. No problems. Runs Great!!!
I change Mobil full synthetic oil & Bosch oil filter every 6,000 miles. That really keeps the engine clean!
Love my Tundra 2010 with 235000 and still going strong 5.7 yd off-road 2x4
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 5 lug w 2.7 liter 4 cylinder currently with 360,000 miles. No repairs what so ever, no rattles, no broken switches. Everything works perfectly. Just diligent maintenance. Only bad thing is I would like a new truck but can’t justify the expense. May buy the 2030 Tacoma.
For motors..ford 300 inline six is million mile motor. Not km. MILES. I have hit over 1 million several times with Ford's inline 300 6cyl. Very reliable. Good torque close to 400 ft/lb torque just not much hp at 250. HP. Ford
Have a 2013 Silverado 5.3 that blew up at 98k miles. $6000 for new engine. Always maintained.

@@southside4000 get a used transmission from LKQ with a warranty. I put a Alison 1000 in my duramax for 3400$ The trans had about 140,000 on it.
Lawsuit just filed over that 2013 Chevy Silverado for bad transmission on the 5.3 engine. My 2013 GMC Sierra 6.1 runs like a swiss watch, check out the lawsuit lol. Some lawyer needs more plaintiffs...
the new silverados are crap, anything prior to mid 2000's were solid. but ever since they got bailed out by the fed in 2008, they have significantly lowered their quality standards.

Been driving my 96 T100 for 20 years daily. Other than some rust 300k miles and runs like new. Cooooold AC
I put 360k miles on a 2012 Ram 1500 king cab. The most major repair was a used transmission at 230k miles
How much does that cost u?
My 02 f250 with the 7.3 powerstoke is still running strong with 420k miles.
My 01 F250 7.3 has 462,000. I had a friend that had a 99 that had over 600,000 on his V10 F250!
My 2000 f250 has 480k and still going
Right? My 2001 7.3 excursion has 300,000. Still drives great 👍
If it's a diesel and I know it is, it's been fixed and repaired numerous times over those 420k miles. Hell anything will keep on running if you keep on repairing and replacing parts🤪☝️
@@drofdoctors7887 what vehicle doesn't need repairs? Point is the motor, trans, and body are original. Furthermore do you maintain your vehicle or throw it away when it needs an oil change?
1988 toyota pickup...still running...no engine job no 4speed manual repair...just pressure plate change this year...needs a hood body job after all this time
Ford, Dodge, and Chevy 1997 through 2003 were all very solid and reliable trucks. Stay away from the Ford 3 valve 5.4 and the Chevy "active fuel management" trucks.
Maybe if you live in a dry climate like in Arizona. Here in Ontario Canada, most cars and trucks die of corrosion long before they have a chance to wear out....
Yes I’m in the desert 🏜 no rust
My 2004 silverado, single owner, has 276,000 miles and counting
F150 and other F series trucks are favorites for ambulances,wreckers police ,construction and forestry .They keep records on the cost of maintenance and in most cases FORD has been the choice more than 50% of the time.GM owners,i was one of them for many years.live in denial that their trucks are no longer what they used to be..the last good one ,id say was the 1972
My 2005 GMC Sierra 1500, 3.8 liter engine, has 254,000 miles and still going strong. At age 63, I intend to keep it the rest of my days.

Lots of Older 95 to 05 Dodge 2500 with Cummins power will make 500,000 to 750,000 Kim’s easily, one damn tough truck.
The Ram pickuips of the 90s were a breed apart from the garbage Stellantis produces today.. those beast from the 90s were built before the Fiat merger...
@@gwats19577 unfortunately nobody is making quality vehicles anymore it costs too much, and I’m not overly impressed with Ford and GM either. Especially Ford they have made a great deal of garbage over the years, especially their engines.
@Jean Toronto Raptors My Cummins powered Dodge has been Fantastic, couldn't wish for better. Completely original at 400,000 kms.
@Jean Toronto Raptors hardly anything oil changes, brakes regular maintenance.
why the Cummins limiter? Just verifies the missing Fiat/Dodges
Have a 2015 Ram Hemi and have not had a minute trouble.love this truck! I haven't spoke to Dodge owners who don't love thier truck. The Ridgeline isn't a truck, it's a car frame and a weak truck body. It's good for going to the grocery store. Don't try to tow with it!
That’s the point of the Ridgeline though. It’s a truck for people who admit they don’t really need a truck. The problem is the price. Once Ford figured out “Hey, let’s make an affordable version of that” the Maverick was born and people love that thing.
I love my 2002 silverado I boughtnew on 4 th of July. I have had it for almost 21 yrs with 215,010 miles on it.
Love all these post from us high mileage people.!
My 2002 nissan frontier turn 20 year last month (June).I am the third owner. It have 135 k miles runs great only the oil dip stick (cable) broke. Great work truck love it.
197,000 mile 95 F150. 4.9L straight 6. Ask again in 10 years as it’s still on the road. Getting a facelift right now. Minimal rust.
95 f150 4.9l 240,000 miles... Getting new seat and dash.Other than that still on the road and working. Nothing beats a grandpa Ford....nothing
Minimal rust after 10 years.You must not live in Northern USA.I"m dreading the first snowfall here in Wisconsin and all the salt.
Keep it Carla, the new ones are a piece of junk.
I don't drive it too much but my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 294cid has 270.000 km ( almost 170k miles) and it still awesome. Just an air intake gasket and a new fuel pump. Now it's time for the lazy O2 sensors and shock absorbers.
F350 7.3 L with 1,230,000 on it and still going without a overhaul or a new turbo! Wish toyota made a one ton truck Also have a 05 frontier with over 200k just replaced the alternator. One tuff lil truck!
Really a F350 7.3 L has 1.2 milion miles?
Yes they can do 1.2 million miles...a friend of mine who pulled campers from Indiana to states in the Northeast did so on his 2000 F350... 😊
Your analysis are correct ,Well researched and truthful.

Nissan Frontier is one Nissan endorsed by scotty kilmer for its excellent durability and value.
The newer frontiers have issues with transmissions due to radiator issue allowing antifreeze to get inside the transmission
@@angiemarshall1088 thank you. Good to have this issue inspected

I had a 2008 Ford E150 with 500k. Original engine and tranny. I traded in for a 2017 Ford Transit. 159k. So far so good
Good but not extreme in today’s computer controlled vehicles if not abused and with proper maintenance. Kudos none the less.
I tow RVs commercially with 14 Ram Ecodiesel. 371k low coolant it pushed a head gasket. 423k on 2nd motor it cracked a head. Business partner had 452k on his ED when the fuel pump filled a cylinder with shrapnel. Towing RVs is hard on em.
Officer for sofa I bought a total of five Fords trucks. Doing those years I had put so much money and those five trucks. It seems like after two years they just start falling apart. Jump to Toyotas and it's like night and day as far as maintenance and the upkeep and keeping money in my pocket I would never go back to forward maybe Chevy but no Ford they are not reliable.
My Astro van at 300,000 still going strong
A sawzaw will turn it into a pickup
My girlfriend's parents had astro. She called it the brick.
I agree..in my long driving life I have had Nashes (yes, I am that old), dodges, fords, chevys, pontiacs, 1 mustang, one olds cutlass, Datsun and Nissan, multiple Toyotas, VW beetle, izuzu truck and 2 mercury marquises…all were good because I changed oil & serviced them around 2-3 thousand miles, even dealers said it was too much..but I never had an engine or transmission fail…biggest item was air condition units.
P.S. I forgot my current Honda van and Lexus suv…still running well.
Definitely should of replaced the Ridgeline with the Nissan Frontier. Frontiers are solid pound for pound Tacoma competition. I see way more older/newer frontiers than ridgelines on the road
i was thinking of getting the ridgeline
@@WilliamHollinger2019 Get the Ridgeline. You won’t regret it
Frontiers are long lasting...I've had 2. Now I have a Tacoma which is really an inferior truck.

It's obvious who isn't mechanics in the comments. Toyota is always more reliable for many reasons, but it boils down to, they're just engineered better than anything else.

325k miles on a 2003 Ford ranger 3.0l
I had a 1988 Dodge Dakota my father bought new. He bought the most basic truck available. It was the V-6 ,five speed manual trans,no A/C,AM radio, no cigarette lighter, long wheel base truck. He drove it for a couple of hundred thousand miles. Then I got it. One time it blew a freeze plug and I kept driving . When I got home it wouldn't run but 5 miles per hour it was spark knocking so badly. Got home and popped the hood and the whole engine was glowing red. Next morning put freeze plugs in it cranked it up and drove it over a million miles before the crankshaft broke into . Which broke in away that both halves still turned and made it home. It had 1 trans and 1 rear end replaced in that million miles. Other then ordinary maintenance ,that was all. Part of the key to longevity is service ,and the other is don't do more then it was designed to do ,along with when it got old, it was driven like it was old .Not Grand pa'ing it but not drag racing either.
My 1995 Chevy z/71 4x4 has never had the valve covers off. Drive it daily. Just turned 220,000 miles.
