@Mike Rosen
I ride a bicycle.
I hope the F-150 gets rid of that mandatory auto start/stop that is a nuisance every time it's driven.
@Mike Rosen Scotty is just a hater who is all pro Toyota... Most REAL review companies (not Scottys opinions) rate Tundra and Titan under RAM Ford or GMC/Chevy. They go much more in depth with quality check. "I've been a mechanic for 50 years and I had a customer who had a bad Ram" doesn't make it a fact.

Dude i love how he didnt milk the intro and just went straight into the content.
I'd prefer an incredibly loud techno song with a "yooooo guys welcome back I'm Scotty don't forget to like and subscribe.."
That’s because Scotty is old school 😎
That's Scotty, some of the only good content on UA-cam these days
Because he was born before 1990
Exactly. If a younger guy made this video it would have 100 jump cuts in it because of ADHD, and shitty humor that we probably wouldn't laugh at. I'm glad Scotty is on UA-cam!!
Little Known Fact: If you give Scotty a baton while he's talking, then put the Philharmonic Orchestra in front of him, his arms would conduct The Star Spangled Banner.
either that or the sinister music from the movie Jaws.
Lol
Dude that's hilarious
Depends if he likes the brand or not
General Grievous LMFAO!!
Crazy to see how quality has shifted over the years. Had a 98 f150 with well over 300k miles. Was a beast! Had a 04 f150 and was in the shop every 3 months for engine issues.
Had a 98 and blew a headgasket and got rid of it. Have an 04 currently, and I've blown the heater core 3 times, among other issues. Lol
I sometimes have similar issues with my dad’s 2016 F350 that he has had for a few years. It’s had to go in for repair several times but only one was for anything engine related (emmisions sensor). The other times were for electrical issues (headlights had some bad wiring), AC issues (needed a recharge), or minor body work (fuel neck, tailgate trim, tires, etc). Otherwise it actually runs better than most of my dad’s trucks outside of his 2015 Tundra and his 87 Bronco (all of the other trucks are almost 30 years older than the 2016 F350 or the 2015 Tundra and all have issues even if they do run). Ironically almost all of my dad’s trucks are Fords. He has two other F350’s that are from 1990 and 1986 and an F450 from 1988 and all three have issues
04 was known as one of the worst f150s of all time. Had 16 recalls and that 5.4 triton was just a disaster
The 04 depends on the engine I’ve got the shitty little XLT V6 rwd, but it’s got about 200k miles and hasn’t had any serious issues.
@@garrylong2993The 5.4 wasn’t the problem, the fact it was a 3V is the issue
Can you imagine him holding an open beer?
worse sitting next to him lol
Panther Martin77 or a cocktail
That made me laugh.
Not really... Beer is for beginners.
I can smell the whisky on him.
“Dodge v8 gets horrible gas mileage” few moments later talking about the f150, “well you don’t buy a truck for good gas mileage”.
A think there’s just a little bias here.
Not all V8s get the same MPG, but I also understand your point
Zack Allard I drove a 5.0 with the 10 speed and it averaged 21 mpg
Ron Sachanowski Actually I would rather have a f150. But fan wise I feel Chevy, dodge, and ford make good rigs, just depends on the year and model.
As for Scotty, like a lot of his videos, but laugh sometimes at his bias.
Eternal Thread is so think the f150 is the best, just noticing Scotty’s bias. That’s all.
My coworker has a 2014 Ram1500 5.7V8 and he drives in in eco on highways. He can get under 10L/100km (over 21mpg). I've seen it go as low as 6L/100km on straight highway

He gets hard ons for fords
@Dawn Lemon Lol!!

But only the 94 model
Has to be a 93 lol
I got a 2005 2500 ram with cummins. I have only had the passenger AC blower motor go out on it. That’s it with 350,000 miles. It’s been great!
He specifically said the 1500. The 2500 is a diesel. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the 2500’s

Ram has 0% financing for 84 months, the challenge there isn’t making the payments, it’s having a working vehicle at the end of 7 years.
Not as hard as you think :D
I think this guy is biased af Dodge trucks have always been good so have Chevy trucks.
Not as hard as you think
If my family can get 18 years out of a 99 nissan altima driven across the country multiple times theres no reason you cant get 84 months out of ANY TRUCK. They are built to last.

Just putting it out there, my uncle's had a Dodge Dakota for 15 years now, it's got well over 450K on it, and while not all the bells and whistles work anymore that thing has been nothing but reliable. He uses it as a truck should be used. Hauling things, towing things, it's not been gently used.
Just my experience.
Scottys old and still relates to dodges issues back in the 90’s. I know of nobody who actually OWNS one that has deep problems. I however will never buy another ford product. Something tells me old Scotty is getting paid to back those POS.
@@vulcanman64 exactly, all the things he talks about is wayy in the past.
My friends dad had one that didn't do anything but blow transmissions. If my memory serves we did 5 of em on that stupid truck, 2 within a year. Trash
@@natemartinez4595 I have had 3 Dodge Ram 1500s in my family. From 2005-2012. All 3 of them broke down at 60-90k miles. Tranny just went out. Garbage truck. So not sure why this guy is talking about the 90s they are still relevant problems!!! I’d love a brand new ram truck they are beautiful. But I’m not making the same mistake that all 3 of my uncles made.

"Then they started to unimprove them."
I bought a 1996 Dodge brand new. I have bought a few more in the last 20+ years and had no issues at all with them. The last one I bought was a 3500 single cab but unfortunately due to my late wife having cancer she had difficulty getting in and out. I still have my 96 1500 though and it has over 300,000 miles on it. I did have to change out the O2 sensors and high pressure governor but thats it! I drive it every day!
Watched this video with the sound off, still understood everything based on Scotty's hands.

Dodge has made pickups since 1929. Just because they didn’t call them Rams until later doesn’t mean they didn’t make trucks.
And people forget about Dodge trucks during WWII - they pretty much dominated the war.
How many dodges do you see from the 50s 60s & 70s?
@@kenrobinson1099 that was jeep?
@Shenanigans
Unfortunately, people who were not alive before Jeep became a Chrysler product, don’t know that Dodge had nothing to do with manufacturing the Jeeps that were like little indestructible vehicles and believe me the GI’s did their best to destroy them when they first arrived in the war!!!
This phenomenon is no different than politicians who have Bever been in an actual civics class, never learned anything about world history prior to Vietnam, and think they know more about why the Constitution was written in the late 1700’s than the people who wrote the Constitution in the first place!!!!
No the old dodge trucks were military style work trucks, the ram was designed to compete with the ford f series and GM's c and k series.
GM quality in 5 words
It is evolving, but backwards
Amen, brother 🤣
Devolving?
@an internet boi ? So I bet your a ram guy ain’t you
So is Ford.
@@user-vacgod2739 that’s for all trucks, anything past the mid 1990’s with a slim group of exceptions past that time- they lost the longevity they were all known for. granted you can make newer trucks last long too but nowhere near as good as them old trucks
My 2005 Ram truck has 314k miles and runs fine. Both engine and trans have done just fine. My 03 Jeep Liberty has over 200k miles and fires right up. It is also doing fine. I’m happy with my purchases.
I’d love to have a Ram from that generation honestly
@@guardian7773 I’ve developed a couple of issues I need to look at. I’d say if you don’t beat the snot out if one of these trucks it’s good for 20 years.
Scotty thinking to himself: how many camera angles should i put in?
Scotty: yes
Hahahaha🤣🤣
Hahahaha 🤣🤘
The consumer: Chevy, your trucks suck, fix the engines and transmissions!!!
Chevy: I know! Let's make a tailgate that transforms!!!
elfpimp1 The fuel management system that shuts down 4 of the cylinders to save gas is causing a lot of engine and transmission problems. Worst part is you only gain a few mpgs. Fortunately they have devices to keep in in V8 mode that plug into the obd port. Some people say it helps with the oil burning problem in the higher mileage Chevy trucks.
@@CouchMan88 I know, but still thanks for the post. I had to deal with that system ever since Car2Go started using the newer Mercedes.

@Bulldetectoryeah, noticed he specified the model. It’s probably cause most people by the gasser trucks. The diesels are in their own ballpark and are generally solid now, but I guess it depends on how you treat them.

Got a 14 ram with the 5.7 and 8 speed trans. Gets about 19.5 MPG average and the only reason I bought it was it's not the same junk transmissions they used to use, they are actually very reliable now as long as they're maintained, coming from a chevy guy. 115,000 smooth miles so far, many to come!
To be honest, they’re old transmissions were good. It’s just that dumb mechanics would put universal tranny fluid in em instead of the ATF+4 they’re designed to use. Guess reading is hard for mechanics.

RAM Truck with 5.7 Hemi and Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 are the two best trucks in my opinion.
Scotty: Dodge Ram engine and trans are piles of junk.
Also Scotty: The hemi is a decent engine.
Jonathan Dougherty the older dodge engine are bulletproof
Dodge transmission is bad
Dodge transmission is actually good the older one of course ford transmission and some GM is not
dominic reynolds The 2016+ Ram 1500 uses the infamous ZF 8 speed used in tons of other cars. It’s pretty much agreed by everyone to be a great trans.
The manual transmissions in the heavy duty trucks are relatively problem free
I never saw myself clicking on this video so fast
Same thing...
1:28 he said “Periodt”
Weird I’ve never disliked a comment so fast
I don't even need to watch this to know that he ranked Toyota #1
Edit: Im shocked.

No

@@bigdbrowne Or my RAM with a proven Cummins, that can be worked on without having to remove the cab like a FoundOnRoad Dead
@@siseley1 Well, being that Ford is the parent company of Cummins...you, my friend, are driving a Ford product.
From the seventys to 86 was the best years for ford, one issue with the 70's was keeping the fenders hood grill and etc in line but with the old 300 straight six they'd run forever from 80 to 86 was by far the best body design ever built being the old bull nose models, that being said we own 11 of them from 70's to 80's all with the unkillible 4.9 liter straight six, all run fine all has over 500k miles , my favorite of the 11 is the all custom i built from wheels up myself, just pocketed three grand from a bet with chevy lover debating on who has the better truck between him and i on whether I'd make it to a million miles or not, well need to say he just paid me, didnt want to but a bet is a bet I'll be sure to use that for another couple sets of tires there for my ol faithful is still going strong 1,056,071 miles to this day to be exact his newer silverado died on 217k im surprised it made it that far 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
F150s and Tundras already increasing in price on Craigslist ...
F150s are cheaper than Tundras. I saw an 06 F150 with 120K miles for 5K. An 06 Tundra with 120K miles would go for 10K+ lol
Shelly Kennedy they always been high in price
There are rusty frame Tacomas with 300k miles for like 6k dollars, which is just stupid. Hype and perception take things a little too far at times.
Get your facts straight first before you make anymore stupid comments
I am Tundra's fan. Just bought a 2rd Tundra 19. The first one 2011 is very reliable with no repair cost, only routine maintenance.
Toyota Celica pickup truck is #1, wow, thanks Scotty!!
Scotty: the best truck is a 94 Toyota Celica with removed trunk lid.
Scotty, you have an opinion about Dodge Ram 1500,and I disagree. I own a 2002 Ram 1500, 4.7L SLT model since new. It’s relatively low mileage at 160,000. I keep it in excellent running condition, and due to my health, I am fortunate to have an excellent shop with a super mechanic who has done all the repair and maintenance since about 2015. It’s 22 years old, runs like a champ, has hauled everything you can think of cross country, and is parked in my garage right now. No leaks, or problems. Just had the rack and pinion steering assembly replaced as the original started leaking. My mechanic does full BG service on all fluids and oil. This truck will outlast me.
Despite what he says I’ve always had Rams all my life and they never failed me guess I got lucky.
I drive 60k miles a year and have had them all them and agree with him 100%. Ram is the only one i will not buy again no matter how great a deal i think it is. At the same time you see rams with 300k+ miles all the time.
My dad had like three rams and they have all failed them
Him*
Do you drive gassers? I know other than the transmission the diesels are pretty solid.
Ours has a million electrical gremlins
How can you even say ford makes the best pickups when they had that horrible 5.4 Triton V8 in the 2000’s and now they have the even less reliable ecoboost engines...
Not if you get the V8
Scotty never mentions the problems Ford had with these engines.None of my Chevrolet trucks over the years have blown the spark plugs out of the heads.The 5.3 is a great engine imho
Agent_Blackwing yes the newer f150’s with the 5.0 coyote v8 is a solid and reliable truck, but that’s the only good one out of the like 6 engine choices they currently offer.
The 5.4 were awesome engines. You just had to do a timing job on them and change spark plugs more than once every ten years. Other than that awesome trucks.
I have de 2.7 ecoboost for 60k miles and runs perfect without any problems and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Yes they are lemons out there after selling like 2 million ecoboost trucks since 2011 and you have to consider that you mostly read the bad reviews online from owners that half of them bought the truck used after an accident or god know why and then blame the truck for any reason
This is the fairest list, Nissan is truly third, they’re above ram and gm for reliability but not quite for above Toyota and Ford
Really? My family friends company switched from f150s to silverados because transmissions and rear ends kept breaking...3 Silverado v6s with over 200k 9 silverados in the whole company
Nissan better than GM lol not according to REAL reliability and review reports! Not even close.
Chevy will kick that pos Nissan in the trash lol.
Jonny G what year
Cammed LS too bad the Chevy would probably break before it even got the chance
Wouldn’t buy a RAM, unless it’s got a Cummins in it.

Chef Bojack waste of money
Clark McLean AMEN
I want a cummins swapped minivan no seats and a cage
I wont buy a fuckin truck if it doesnt have a cummins in it.
Dodge has been making trucks since 1917.
Yes as Dodge Brothers. Or you could say 1929 or so if you go by when Chrysler bought Dodge Brothers and put Chrysler motors in them.
And Ford had Model T pickups and small flatbeds back in the teens that could also drive a saw or pump belt on the jobsite. Even had a drop top pickup which is really cool. Saw one at a show. Wanted it.
I think he means just the modern pickup with a 4x8 box bed (step and fleet side) that US companies started pushing after 1945 when they resumed customer sales.
He’s talking about ram
Chevrolet has been making trucks since 1918 so Scotty needs to get his facts straight. Chevy, Ford, and Dodge have been making trucks long before he claims they have
Enjoying a Ram Ecodiesel. 27 mpg , 60k miles last year. Fantastic interior and 4WD performance.
FYI: Scotty Kilmer. Since 2014 the Dodge Rams equipped with 8speed transmission are not gas hogs, & the Motors and transmissions are not junk.
Yeah but the Italian made diesels from that era are a disaster.
Thank you. The 5.7 averages 24 on the highway combined with that 8 speed
Some people just don’t care about facts. Read Consumer reports.
It's amazing how many RAM owners swear by them though. All of them say how reliable they are. "I've got 150k miles on mine and had zero issues". I just don't believe it. Scotty is spot on....Chrysler makes beautiful LOOKING cars and trucks. They just don't build quality into them,
I think the ram hype has largely been due to the Cummins engine.
@@jarrettbellboy I can say this my My Dad truck a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.2 V8 are pretty reliable he got it at 160k to 250k til that car accident. He have the 2003 with 5.9 V8 and that truck is odd reliability.
If I lived in road salt land where anything is rusted out in 6 years, I'd probably consider one, but if you plan on holding on to one, no way.
I had a 1999 Ram, always had electrical gremlins and a minor seal leak in the back window
But it's very true ram trucks have been in my family for years now my uncle has a 2014 ram 1500 that has well over 100,000km on it and still runs great with its factory 5.7L hemi v8. Yea some of the trucks can be lemons but every company has its lemons and a lot of the older 3rd gen rams are still kicking around today as they were built tougher then and even more so in the 2nd gens. My 2018 ram 1500 is just shy of hitting 28,000km and so far no problems and it's got the 3.6L v6 pentastar
I’ve had three Rams. Ran them for over 100,000. Never had a problem. I think they look the best. I’ll still buy another one.
only over 100,000? LOL
1 tundra would have outlived all 3 of those trucks
100K that's just the break in period on a Tundra.

My dad just recently got rid of his '06 with 230k. Original everything.
My dad's 2003 ram is still running strong at 370,000 miles. We have the 4.7 engine, and still regularly tow mowers. These trucks are good.
Congrats. Mine seized under 100k.
I didn’t realize ozzy was a mechanic too
I had a 97 Ram 2500 with a V10 8.0 L engine, 4x4. That thing was my daily driver for 6 years. But it was passed down to me from my uncle, he had it for 4 years. The engine never had issues. I ended up selling it when it reached 202k miles. It was a fun truck.
The original dodge powerwagons were tanks.
MrErichonda30 for real I still see them on the road today
I really want frankie to talk about the new power wagon... 8 speed transmission, big 6.4 liter v8... it should be everything he likes
And now they’re made by Fiat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least my Nissan Titan had a decent rating from Scotty. I’m pleased about that.
Nissan titan 05😎
I feel like the Titan is the most underrated of all the trucks, a lot of reviews I see from Titan owners tend to be something along the lines of being a big Ford/Chevy/Dodge person but once they owned the Titan they'd never go back
Am I the only complaining about the gas in the Nissans trucks smh lol
I would buy a Nissan Titan they are decent Trucks, that's would be my third option, after a Tundra, a F150 or a Titan. If I seen a Titan with 💯 thousands miles I wouldn't think it & buy it...
@@nenezaze3252 mines 05 has 292k everything smooth no shaking or knocking
Who wants to see Scotty in a top hat while singing, "she's a good girl, loves her momma, loves Jesus and America too"?
I mean, I wouldn't say no to that
I always thought Scotty was a Yankee from Michigan or someplace...he’s in Houston!
Surprized...in Dallas
And he could do all that while being otherwise butt nekkid, so he could hit that chorus like. . . . .
"And I'm freeee!"
"Free ballin!"
totally agree I got a F150 2002 with 269,000 miles on it and not afraid to drive it anywhere
Let's face it: the only thing that makes Ram trucks good is the Cummins diesel.
Agreed!
True best diesel motor ever made
I didnt buy a Dodge I bought a Cummins.
Lmao I drive a Cummins daily but I love my hemi😂
Alan Heemer hell yeah
My 88 F150 with 5.0 and 5 speed manual transmission is still doing fine.
Had an '84 F150 5.0 w/automatic transmission, that out muscled a 3/4 ton GMC w/manual transmission. 👍She was a great working truck.
It's good to hear. As long as you take care of it you only have to worried about few maintenance a year.
@@YGOandMasterDuel that is true and the life of the vehicle.
I would love to have your truck and coyote swap it
Yeah my mom bought 88 ram for like 700 bucks was supposed to only last few years but going on I think year 10
Watching this as I am sitting in a borrowed Silverado, because my Ram is getting another engine.
Serious? What mileage? Whats wrong with it?
Lower hose blew and it burned the engine up. Temp guage never showed it over heating. 230, 000 miles that was rebuilt at 170 k miles. I guess you can say I have gotten my miles out of that vehicle.
I'm a Ford guy but the hemi is the best gas truck engine made. Even Scotty agreed a few months ago. Now he's complaining about gas mileage?
The newer ones get 15-20mpg. Great for a full sized truck with that much power. Toyota will never have those kind of numbers. Meanwhile Ford is adding turbos or variable cam timing, which is great until 150,000 miles. Then then engines cost a fortune to fix if something goes wrong.
Time will tell on the 5.0, but for now I'll take an f150 with a hemi.
@@bradleythomsen3083 The Hemi is a good engine designed by Mercedes, but its not the best gas engine. Toyotas 5. 7 is by a landslide. Hemis have lifter failures due to low oil flow.
I never understood the roller failures. I left a reply on another comment, I have a 2010 Dodge Ram with 321k miles on it and the only ticking I’ve ever heard was at 110k when I had to replace my manifolds. People can’t take care of their damn trucks and don’t change the oil. I use standard Mobil 1 5w20 and change every 5000 miles and have had none of these issues. I’d be so pissed off if I was an auto manufacturer, because most criticism of engines is due to poor maintenance.
My ram trucks have been treating me well. I also drive a 2015 ram 1500 5.7 4x4 at work. Its gets beat to sh*t and put away wet. The maintenance on it is neglected. But it just keeps going.
I seem to remember the little “Datsun” truck they use to make. I don’t see them any more, But I thought they worked well.
That's because Datsun is made by Nissan. They gave up the name until a few years ago. Now they make "Datsun" stuff in developing and emerging markets
I had one it was great. It wasn’t pretty or fast, but it was tough
They were good until the frame rusted in half. My grandpa has a diesel one that got put on a lift and the frame rusted in half
@@jaydancraven1117 that usually has to do with where you live, lake state or canada im guessing
Lucas Mills in Nebraska but yeah totally agree nothing is stronger than oxidizing metal. My grandpa said it had 300k miles on it. It sits in a pasture with the box against the cab. I wasn’t Alive when it was running...
Scotty: ram trucks are the worst, gas hogs, always breaking down, etc....
Also Scotty: hemi engines are pretty decent, you don’t buy a truck for mpg, they ride really good...
Scotty: "Ram sucks because it gets bad gas millage".
Later in the video
Scotty: "All the pick up trucks get bad gas millage"
Drive both for a while so you see what he’s talking about
Drive both for a while so you see what he’s talking about
I have a 19 Ram and my dad has a 19 F-150. Both V-8. We get almost the exact same gas mileage.
The 19 Ram 1500 saved 200+lbs from an aluminum tailgate and it’s more sleeker than older ones. The F150 is just light overall because of its all aluminum body.
My old 5.9 Cummins still keeps going. And gets around 1000 km a tank. Rolls coal on Tesla's when required. Pulls the RV trailer no problem the New F-150 has issues pulling it.. New trucks suck try and find a good ol'girl. Rust maybe a issue but hay we all have cramps LoL
This list would be completely different if we were talking diesels.
Oh for sure it would, Cummins makes a great engine. The transmission is still bad though
No one could argue cummins is the best
William Seeberger I agree, Cummins are the best, but regardless of the engine the transmission aren’t good on Rams. At least from my experience
I get what your saying
Mjm9307 nah duramax fo sho
Toyota must be late on the check this month🤔🤔
Says the butt hurt Dodge owner lol.
Harry Roger ewwww what’s a dodge ‼️
"The F150 is the best selling pickup truck for 4 decades, and there's a reason for that..."
Yes, government contracts. Government contracts are the reason for that.
So what's that tell you about them? Only but the best
It's all the xenophobic us governments fault
I had a 1996 Dodge ram that had almost 300,000 miles on it when I sold it. I did have to get the transmission serviced at a little over 200,000, but the engines is still strong. I see it running around town still. Just traded my 2011 Ram that had 168,000 miles on it. It had the 5.7 hemi and the gas mileage was okay for a pickup. Averaged 20 mpg driving from Amarillo to Phoenix running between 75-80 to keep from getting ran over on I-40 section.
That older style 1996 to 2000 those are nice trucks the rest of them newer trucks rust out and are not reliable
In my experience Dodge’s don’t last long term, I know people that daily them, realize that just because you see it go down the road doesn’t mean that it’s not a pain in the neck to keep on the road.
Haven't tried an F-150 but borrowed a RAM 1500 and it was SO fun to drive. Felt great suspension wise and accelerated so quick, loved it. Ultimately went with a Tacoma though cuz I want reliability not headaches every few miles lol
Toyota trucks last for OVER 1 MILLION MILES. Absolutely heroic car company.
you should buy an F150 then
Tacoma sucks on the inside, i feel like i am sitting on the floor.
@@PavKar308 after driving the RAM it definitely did feel like that lmao
@@PavKar308 that’s good because i struggle with headroom being 6’5, but they should definitely make an option to raise it up a few inches
All my family are Chevy owners and swear by Chevy. I went with a F150 and I love it! From the way it rides and handles to the interior and body style. I love my F150!
Same Always owned gm had one ford bought in dec 2000 a 2001 f150 supercrew 4x4 lariat still a good truck 311 k Moral of story ford or chevrolet leave the dodges where they belong in the junkyard T H A N K J U N K D O D G E

They are just about where American motors were when they went belly up
@@robtans5042 Gm and Ford also produce Junk .
Remember the 5.4 Ford? or Gm Terrain /Envoys that are well know to grenade at 100k with bad oil consumption .Plenty of recalls on those 2 brands
. Have a Ford 3.5 with the internal driven chain water pump. Left me stranded decided to blow up at a stop sign . Fixed it works fine / its paired with the ford /gm transmission what a nightmare 2 incompetent companies
@@ChrisB-cx6td Yeah man I got a 5.4 2v I bought new in dec 2000 A 2001 f150 supercrew lariat with 311 k on it. Had a intake gasket replaced in 2018 and an alternator replaced and then general maintenance. Yeah you right that truck is not a junk dodge its been reliable. Only ford I have ever owned in my 62 years. Just like police cruisers I done that job for 36 years. Best cruisers for reliability were the crown vics. Best handling cruisers caprice. Worst cruisers always with about anything from brakes to transmissions even engines guess what J U N K D O D G E as jack webb use to say Just the facts maam
is it mechanic Friday and you’re giving one away??!!??
haha ;)
That’s why I stick with the GMT400 body style. That TBI 350 won’t win races but it’s bulletproof reliable. Mine is 28 years old and never has a problem starting, and goes down the road smooth.
GMT800s are my personal favorites. Plasticky interiors but the first gen LS engine, 4 speed auto, and before everything got too complicated. They also ride like a dream.
My sister leased a Dodge Ram and during that lease they had to replace the transmission. That memory has been in my mind forever!
All Dodge trucks have weak transmissions that's a well known fact!!!
I love dodge but the transmissions are complete junk and I'm done with them. My first 02 got total then got a 99 transmission goes out at 200000 got a 98 and at 198000 transmission goes out. Got a 04 at 188000 transmission goes out and takes the transfer case out too. All in 10 years. And I only haul alittle sheetrock and paint. Im trading in this junk for a Toyota tundra
He's right about Chrysler. I knew a former Chrysler mechanic who told me to never, ever buy a Chrysler product, especially Jeeps. He said Jeeps (all models) were ALWAYS in the garage for problems.
Oh yeah that’s true, Jeeps are ridiculously unreliable. You basically throw those things away after 100k miles
With the exception of my 2007 Jeep Liberty, for some reason this mf is still running like a dream after 180k miles, every single one of the lights are on at all times but it’s still running somehow lmao
I have had a 2013 Chrysler 300c for 3 years and haven’t once spent anything besides oil and tires
About 90 percent of those instagram females drive Jeeps, even my ex-girlfriend had one, she bought a brand new one, heard it's now in the auto shop with a broken axle!!! Lmfao!!!
He'd be right. Worst to best. Chrysler, Ford, GM
Had a jeep before
Never any problems!
I made a living managing a parts department at a GM Toyota Dodge dealer. I would have starved to death if it wasn't for all the GM and Dodge products. Toyota vehicles were much more reliable . We sold twice as many parts for GM and Dodge vehicles. That is why I have two Toyota vehicles in my garage today.
There will be no Dodge in my garage !!!
That's the way you do good business with junkies, not for me, I need to have one that lasts 4ever and never break.
I’m just so glad that everyone is so freakin’ well-to-do these days-git whut they want under the poor person’s nose. I may be the only one in the country. Have a laugh on me!!
I had my dodge ram 1500 for just shy of 12 years and only had to replace a couple things in that time frame. Namely, alternator once and a couple sensors. Great truck, wish I still had it.
Scotty, I have a 2010 Nissan Titan with 203k miles. So far, all I've done is change the oil on schedule. Zero mechanical problems whatsoever. Still runs like a champ. I expect to reach 300k miles. I've never swapped any parts at all.
Dude looks like the love child of John Lennon and Dennis Hopper
timoteo damn, that’s funny
😂😂
Now I can't unsee it, lol
Hahaha
yep, I have a 2000 F250, still runs great. I was looking at getting a newer truck but....the prices....whew! too expensive.
You get what you pay for. Look at dodge, cheaper and it shows! Get a new used certified ford!
please tell us what parts you have replaced on your F250 Cam phasers, timing chain,60$ spark plugs that don't come out Yeah LOL Fords are ( Air haulers) America buys Dodge Cummins) to work look in any walmart parking lot you'll see trailers behind Dodges Ford are always pretty and look like they never worked a day.
@@AmericanSurvival001 you see more fords on the road than dodges. Dodges are more of a company car because they are cheaper. You get what you pay for.... and notice how you see no NEW dodges on the road because no body wants them. But i see new fords left and right.
@@AmericanSurvival001 if america buys dodge then why does ford sell twice as many trucks with less reported shop time?
Scott wads At 170,000 miles I replaced the plastic top part of the engine which cost about $800. I replaced two coil packs and two spark plugs. Other than brakes and tires I’ve done no other major maintenance on the vehicle of course I do regular oil and transmission fluid changes as part of the basic maintenance. So I’ve been really pleased with the truck overall. Thanks for asking.
I'll take a boxy pickup from the 1970s or 1980s.
I used to have a ‘78 Ford F-100, I sure miss that thing!
I bought a 2012 F150 a few years ago, I couldn’t believe how nice the suspension was. It drives like a car, I love it! I’ve put 70k miles on it and the only issue I’ve had was the fuel pump, great truck!
Can you please do one on small to midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma

Why? His opinion doesn't directly affect the outcome of your vehicle.

Till the floor falls out of course
Been driving 2004 chev suburban 5.3 v8 4x4 , no major issues brakes, ujoint and water pump in the 90,000 I have had it. Quite happy
Ben Strong same here 👍
beware that when a brake line bursts, you will lose all braking ability.
Oldsuitman That seems like a generally rule of common sense across the board. But I did see where that’s an issue for many people. Fortunately for me though, I live in the Deep South, so rust underneath is not really an issue.
I really enjoy you comments, good and bad. We (my wife and I ) bought a 2028 Chevy Colorado, ZR-2. (in January 2018, new) with a little four Diesel, (Turbo) I runs like a top, we love it. Here in northern Nevada we need a good 4X4. We are getting a little over 30 miles to a gallon, empty. With 52,000 miles on it. We have a Feather lite car trailer. 22FT, With a 14,000 pound winch. We use it when we go logging at lake Tahoe. When we come home the trailer is over loaded (always) our little Diesel pulls just like our 2000 Ford 7.3 Diesel. Now that is a big difference in Torque and weight. lots of hills (up and down). We can not be happier our little Diesel. The one thing that does not work is the Jake brake. I have talked with our dealer and they said Oh Well. I have look on U-tube and all the ZR- 2 owners have the same problem. We can lock up the front axel only when in low range, and anything over 15 mph it unlocks. I have installed a B&M dip stick. Please Scott keep up the good work.! Oh yes we are 79 years young and still going strong.
Scotty, show us on the Hemi where Chrysler hurt you.

not sure which I love more: Scotty or my new 2019 ram 1500 🤯🤯🤯🤯 so conflicted!!!
Oooof
I've for a 99 ram with 200,000 miles, but this was before FCA
They are good as long as you take care of it and just expect electrical issues to occur.
Give it a few years and your decision will be easy
It's ok, you'll soon learn to hate the truck, and still like Scotty.
I know this vid is over a year old and someone may never read this but there are a few things Scotty left out. Dodge has been making trucks since world war 2, they released the power wagon to the public after WW2 it had 4wd and a V8. They've been around a lot longer than he said.. My dad purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 and it gets better gas mileage than my mom's ford expedition with the 3.5L EcoBoost, it has MDS technology which means it goes down to a 4 cylinder when not accelerating. Ram has definitely stepped up their game and deserve better than last.
My last dodge started on fire while I was driving it. True story. Never again.
Saddly the problem is that the 4 cylinder that are alsays running use faster than the rest of the cylindddf
Dodge had a rough patch after the turn of the century and has seriously recovered. have a 2021 ram rebel and its far superior in every way to other trucks on the same trim. 5.7 is tried and true, and has a ZF transmission. yes please.
Im interested in a 2019 ram. Im worried about long term. We can only all speculate
How about cam phasers Scotty? And shitty AOD trans?
I've got a GMC Sierra only replaced the battery... I'm certain it's the best truck I've ever owned.
And he says that dodge has a better suspension? Hahahahahahaha.. scotty is kinda putting out information that isnt so accurate. My opinion. Still like his videos about repairs, still great in that aspect
Yeah but what happens once it’s two months old?
😛
What year and how many miles?
2013... 70,000 mile... it's an United States assembled Truck. Drives like a new truck.
@@blackbass4u2c 70,000 miles is nothing for a truck
I’ve owned a Ford 2001 F250 Lariat Super Duty with a 7.3 TD since it was brand new. Best truck I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned them all Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford etc. over 65 years.
I think a truck is as good as the owners care for the truck!
Agreed. My 05 Ram doesn't owe me a dime. Put a starter in it. Its never seen dirty oil. None of my vehicles have. 200k mls runs like clock. Treated me better than my ex ever did.🤣
Unless it's a dodge
@@IronSwan73 I agree.. I’ve owned one dodge Dakota and will never own another😂 I’d be going down the road and that mf would just cut off and I’d shift back to neutral crank it back up and keep rolling😂😂😂
That the answer Mr, you got it
He is generalizing brands over an 80 year period. Care of vehicle and driving habits figure in more than brand with very few exceptions in the hundreds of thousands of all 4 brands being sold today. The pricing of trucks has gone insane though when used ones are selling for the same outrageous price as new ones.
