You look really happy sitting in that truck. Go ahead and buy one. You deserve it. 😎
Diesel costs more so cant compare mpg quite the same..
Hey Scotty I keep hearing Lexus are some of the best cars on the road do I need a bumper to bumper warranty for a 2016 nx200 with no accidents
Nothing wrong with Turbo Diesel Commonrail engines at all. They are more effeccient than electric cars.
In Europe and UK we have loads of modern turbo diesels. The 1.5 TDCi Focus does 50 mpg with ease and high 50's at cruising speed.
They are as you say, nothing like old diesels.
Hi Scotty... any thoughts of the smaller GM Diesel that they use in the Terrain? Is that a reliable engine... what do you think it's paired to a 6 automatic gearbox... thanks and best wishes
Scotty talking good about a GM product, WOW! Now I know the world has gone crazy.
No, he's just being paid. He knows perfectly well that the Canyon diesels have a horrible reputation for being lemons.
Yeah. It's his customer's vehicle. He only mentions a few of the pros. He purposely never mention the cons.
Mine is has not let me down yet
Its not GM. everything is Isuzu design and the injection system is made by DENSO(owned by toyota)
Marcel I agree. We're living in an upside down world.
i started watching scotty more than a year ago and it has become an addiction lol
You get to learn in just one year on youtube more than 10 years in school
@@itzpro. You better believe it.
I think I need a scotty rehab
@@itzpro. truth
Me to!!! Learned a lot!!
We been asking auto makers in the US for a 4 cylinder diesel vehicle since the 1990s. They have done everything possible to avoid it. They knew if done right it would over shadow all other engine designs. As you can see they have only built 2 so far. 35 miles per hour in a truck is phenomenal. They going all out before electric/hybrids vehicles change the game.
It's crazy what auto makers will do to avoid providing customers what they want/what they need.
I am the owner of one of these trucks . I bought it new in 2017. I have never had a problem with it. I tow a NuCamp Tab 400 that weighs 3700lbs 90 percent of the time. I bought it because of the 2.8 Duramax. I have never been disappointed.
Just sold mine with 290.000 km on it, been a fantastic truck. Bought another one with 8000 k on it. Will be good for years. The only thing you need to do is some exhaust modifications😆
Am waiting for a truck with 2 cylinder 500cc engine hybrid quad turbo that will do 70 MPG 😁✌🏼
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂
No kidding, I was thinking a truck 1 cylinder 200cc engine hybrid with 4 turbo for 100mpg to kill Prius 😂😂
Done by Toyota..
@@IJoeAceJRI It might work, but in short term we need another cylinder torque for towing 😆
Why wait go out and do a proof of concept build
I don’t speak English but I understand hand signals real well!
How come you type
@@Ali-xt2ex They can't _speak_ it but can probably _read/write_ it🤷🏻♂️
@@Ali-xt2ex google translate 🤷🏽♂️lol
@@yngfljm2277 I think you misunderstand the meaning of trolling.
Joking =/= trolling
@@PutsOnLoafers I personally use the two words interchangeably, but looking back at this comment and in this context, I think you're right.
A couple months ago “Colorado and Canyons are nothing but electrical problems don’t buy one” Today “I bought one”.. 😂😂😂
My 2015 has 164k miles, no problems...apart from a water pump wich was easy, its mounted like an alternator. Good design.
@@freespirit1975 On my 2015 2.5l gasser, it is on the passenger side of the engine, I just reach under the truck from the front. It is easy to reach, but I took off the air dam. Otherwise driving it up on ramps would probably be needed for average sized men. The oil plug is on the back/bottom of the motor and hard to see from the front. It is an easy truck to work on...small motor, big engine bay! Sadly, it has only needed a water pump, took me about an hour. :)
@@freespirit1975 on the 2.8 baby Duramax the oil filter couldn't be easier. It's right on top maybe a foot away from the oil fill cap.
Now a 4 cylinder DIESEL in a full size truck makes more sense.. The gasser 4s in full size trucks is just a dumb engineering decision
The LCV is good engine for the Colorado, however.
The 2.7L 4 cyl gasser makes more power and almost as much torque as the 2.8L diesel. But GM does offer a 3.0l straight 6 in the full size. That 4 cylinder diesel is far too small for a full size
@@craigquann Well diesels are built stronger overall and are meant for towing
@@TTime685 yes I agree. However that 2.8L isn't up to the task of motivating a full size truck plus a trailer. Well not well a least. Granted neither would the 2.7l gasser with a really heavy trailer. But as a daily driver the gas would be better in a full size. Keep in mind the 2.7 gas is a base engine. The 2.8L diesel is a premium in the mid size trucks. (Great engine but not designed for full size truck)
@@craigquann Ford has a smoother running 2.7L twin turbo V6. Still a small engine for a truck.
Your a freaking gem Scotty haha bought my Scion xB because of you never looked back since loo
Same but a scion xd lol
@@heyitsfranklynn168 Wished I would have never gotten rid of my XD. Great little car, fun to drive. Great gas mileage. Gas will be 3 bucks soon and I will be looking for a used one or a iQ, but they are tiny.
Love when Scotty puts his face right up to the exhaust with absolutely no hesitation
I’m glad GM is doing this! Toyota and Nissan need to offer this on Tacoma and Frontier.
And now they're only doing 4cyl turbo canyons. Boo
"Rear wheel drives all you really need"
Me: looks out window at 28 inches of snow
yeah NEVER get 2wd, unless you live on flat land like Texas......everywhere else you're GONNA need it, trust me.....trucks are horrible in 2wd Snow or mud.
True, the main reason I have 4WD is to get out of my driveway in winter
Ha, I have tried an experiment. Only use 2wd with my Tahoe. I haven’t got stuck yet this winter. It does have a trac loc in the rear so that helps a little.
4wd won't help that much in 28" 😉
@@willb3018 nope. We had about 12" when I left work Monday and it got me home just fine. By Tuesday we had 2 feet and my truck was drifted up to the door handles. That sucked to shovel.
I own a highlander, if I ever buy a truck 🛻 I’d by the tundra, luv u Scotty 😍
Scotty’s next video “why you should never buy a GM truck”
Exactly.
Scotty, you're absolutely right about the duramax engine. My Canyon diesel, with 4wd and long box and gets 30-32 mpg!
I’ve had one of these for 5 years this June. It’s been a great truck! It’s got almost 100k on it now. Just wash I could have ordered one with a 6 speed manual.
6-sp manual trans?
Those days are long gone. The American buying public sucks.
@@politicallyunreliable4985 NOT In Thailand where they "were" made, you can choose manual or auto, I have BOTH
We have these diesels in the s10 from 2012 here in south america. They are actually an Italian design made by VM motori, but are surprisingly pretty decent, here are known to be almost as reliable as the diesels toyota put in their Hilux
Fiat and alfa diesels are pretty good. Italians and the french are pretty good with diesels.
What diesel engine in the s10 ???!! Make a video
My buddy has one of these, absolutely loves it.
That 2.8L diesel is made by VM Motori, the same company that makes the 3.0L diesel in the half ton Rams that Scotty hates per a previous video. It is 90+ percent the same engine used in Jeeps in the early 2000's.
I'm in a high school economics class doing a mock budget with the teacher, and we are choosing a car. A girl chose a new Volkswagen Jetta for its reliability and resale value. Even if their quality has gone up a little, I wanna burst out laughting.
she definitely needs to stay in school! VWs resale value is insanely bad (or good if you're trying to save money)
@@IJoeAceJRI only popular due to the fact that parts are plentiful and there are plenty of mechanics with low labour costs.
@@IJoeAceJRI I wouldn't know. I live in the US
Thanks for the videos Scotty! We love your content up here in Canada!
It’s a pretty solid truck, I’ve had one since it came out in 2016.
I have a GMC Canyon diesel six years old and still going strong
My brother has one of these and he loves it. He travels a lot from NJ to VA and SC. Really enjoys the range.
I have a friend who bought an isuzu truck for 500 bucks. It needed a starter. The isuzu starter was 200 bucks. He found out it was the same truck as a Canyon, he got the same starter for closer to 100 bucks.
Every time Scotty say "rev up your engine" 50 GM owners throw a rod.
GM= Garbage Motors
Ever own one?
Scotty I watch all of your videos I've learnt so much about my car I don't like hearing it to a mechanic now I do it myself with one of your videos great job keep up the good work
4:18 Chrysler, BMW, and Mercedes are watching you scotty
I wouldn't say a 2.8 liter is a "little bitty" 4 cylinder lol..
Toyota also has a 2.8l 4 cylinder engine , toyota used to make a 3l 4 cylinder engine
...it’s itty bitty😏
I have one and found it slow... I had to put an intake and a transmission tune on it.... its alot better now programmed it to shift quicker
I have my big ol' Buick with a 1.4L four cylinder. Of course it cheats because it has a turbocharger.
@@carholic-sz3qv they use to have the 2.7L cylinder engine as an option in the first generation 4Runners.
6:00 I had a '91 Civic with the 5 speed. I put 300k miles, never burned oil. I gave it to my nephew.
That’s a lie 😝
Lucky nephew
You said small engines in big cars will become “ Endless money pits “
not sure about this engine when they start production in Flint, but those made by Isuzu seem to be very reliable.
Again, that's a good Diesel, not some fragile gasoline engine made for planned obsolescence.
2.8 is still pretty big for a 4-cylinder
2.8 is not that small.
Awesome review! Like many car enthusiasts, I've heard of the Duramax LWN 2.8 litre turbo diesel engine, or as it's been jokingly referred to as the *"Baby Duramax".* I regret that I've never owned or driven a GMC Canyon or a Chevy Colorado, but I would love to check them out before I die. There are countless vehicles I'd love to drive before I'm no longer able to drive a car.
4:18 The reflection of a customer who wants their mechanic to get back to work.
I've seen that engine all over the world...I was wondering when they would bring it to the US
It's been here in the US since 2016
Yeah in the American market they dont use the medium truck with diesel engines, it's barely new over there. Like the 3.2 diesel engine from Ford, it's all over the world, hilux, l200, d-max, etc... excpet for North America.
Why is that so? I don’t get it. I am driving my Nissan Navara 4 cyl Diesel with 40 mpg (on autobahn) and the range is 800 kilometers.
@@mspartybootdeutschlandgmbh1301 Because in the rest of the world they are more diesel friendly. Here, dealers want to make an extra few thousand dollars by up selling to diesel, and to do that here, you need to have the diesel much stronger than it's gas counterpart. So an economical to buy diesel is a no-no.
The 2.8 litre Duramax's used in the Holden Colorado's in Australia were Italian-built and tended to have oil consumption problems.
I thought you were going to say it got better mileage because it’s parked. lol Nice looking truck, probably expensive.
I paid $42,000 for mine. It’s fully loaded 4X4. I only get 30mpg in mine.
@@PumaPete full time 4x4?
@@BotMechanic no it has an auto setting that kicks in if the wheels slip or it has a high and low setting. Both diffs have lockers though.
Now i,m looking around making sure i,m still on earth ...not some crazy alternate universe🤤
Someone disliked this video 12 seconds after uploading. That is a perfect example of a HATER
I liked immediately to balance it out
Yes you right actually a " mechanic" with poor knowledge,, that wish it can be like Scotty.. but to be like this master we are so far away..
When he was talking about 35 miles per gallon I thought that was a bad thing. From a English perspective that is terrible gas mileage you should be getting at least 50 on a long run like that. Diesel is about $7 per gallon in the UK.
@@sebastianguerre6868 50 miles per gallon, or kilometers?
@@sebastianguerre6868 Don't you measure by liters and kilometers in the UK? Maybe that is the difference?
Snow storm in Texas this week and I’m watching all the full sized trucks sliding around. 4wd is the only reason we could get out this week. We’re at 98k and we love this truck.
Scotty, With all the emission systems on today's diesels, they are problems waiting to happen. Buy it , and you will be sorry!
I am sure it's a great little engine but GM has let me down so much in the last 10 years I have no faith left in there products...
They Colorado and Canyons are great trucks despite what people say... I love mine and will keep it until it dies
GM hasn't let me down because I never have and never will own one....
@@leadnsteel1428 me too!
Oh scotty you are wrong I bought a brand new one in 2018 with this little diesel motor in it and it was in the shop more than it was in my driveway they are totally junk I unloaded it just as soon as the warranty was up
6:01 that generation of Civic hatchback with the manual transmission was an awesome car.. even the base model with the 4-speed manual was great.
My friend had a 5 speed manual 2003 civic and that thing can go forever.
@@davidperry4013 I had a 90 4-speed manual hatchback that I bought brand new in 90 for $6,995. Drove it for 8 years, 125k miles, and like a knucklehead sold it because I wanted a bigger car. I miss that car, still have dreams where I’m driving it around lol
Got 113,000 on my 2016 chevy, so far nox sensor and def injector plus wire harness replacement, was rubbing. $1400 in repairs so far but what I've gotten in return is well worth it
"He" drove on the HIGHWAY @ 60 - 65 MPH !!!!
He is that guy
In the left lane, no doubt!🤣
I travel 2000-4000 miles a week. I have 200,000 miles on my 2017 Chevy Cruise Diesel, I get 50mpg at 79 miles per hour.
Cap
Impossible! Only Toyotas and the occasional Honda can do that.
@@donb1183 if THE CRUZE HAS A DIESEL IT WILL VERY WELL GET THAT MILEAGE
@@erickf899 I was just being sarcastic. I had a Cruze as a second car for a few years and loved it.
It’s always good when it’s new. That dpf system will be very costly once it goes down.
At least it's covered under federal emissions warranty for 8 years/80,000 miles, or 15 years/150,000 miles in California and any state that follows CA standards. Since they almost always build to California standards to sell in all 50 states nowadays anyway, they should generally be engineered to last at least 150,000 miles. Repair once to OEM specs, and it should go until at least 300,000 miles. Sure, I like to be frugal, but needlessly making black soot and polluting the air when it's easy not to (at least for the first 150,000 miles) doesn't make any sense. I might have a contrarian streak, but I'm not retarded. ;-)
This engine is one of the most used engines over the past 30 years in South Africa with Isuzu dealerships. Can't go wrong. 300k miles without issues is common.
We have on old analog 25 kw diesel genset in our inventory. It has a Isuzu engine. Still purrs like a kitten. Its my favorite. If my boss ever sells it I might be tempted to buy it.
Love the old Isuzu diesel 4 they had in the trooper. Adjust the valve lash every 30000 and they ran forever. When they switched to low sulfur fuels it killed them. The orings needed the extra lubrication in the old fuels.
Good afternoon Scotty I'm here just having my lunch and your notifying me of another video so I'm going to have some lunch drink some beer and watch you🙌🙌🙌🙌 BROTHER 👍🧰
To clarify, The sticker in the glove box is talking about a cabover camper in the bed not a bumper pull trailer. I personally tow a 7000lb travel trailer with incredibly ease, passing semis at 55mph up grades
You just made my day.
I have a 2018 zr2 duramax. And I have been worried about gms reliability. I currently have 34000 miles on it with no issues.
Glad you had good things to say about it.
Z71 2016 duramax, 81000 miles, engine is doing great. You wanna straight pipe it dont ya?
scotty you deserve to enter paradise just for the free informations and helping people and for giving thems advices how to not not get ripped off
Ya when you hear it may bend the frame no thanks
Lol this has happened to a whole two trucks, awhile towing, with a camper going down a rough trail. Same thing happened to several gladiators without campers in the beds.
If its at a good price sure might just have to reinforce it myself
Can back scotty up on the GM Canyon/Colorado - Its an amazing daily truck, even with my v6 RWD I still manage to catch around 26-30 Hwy. Plenty of room for car seats in the back, bed holds up good with a liner, and maintenance is super easy so far on the truck. Def would recommend for most normal guys.
I have that GMC Canyon 2.8 diesel 4WD because I live in Oregon. I get 27 mpg driving on the highway here. It’s a great truck! Glad it got the Scotty approval.
GM & Isuzu been with each other forever, even before ww2
Remember the Chevy Love mini truck?
@@Winterstick549 yup ! The Chevy Luv was basically a Isuzu pickup truck, they was good too
Thank goodness I watched this video so I’m not stupid anymore 🤣
Unbelievable, this is the first time I hear Scotty saying good things about GM. Scotty, I really really love your channel.
Isuzu has been making diesel motors for decades now. It’s a great power plant
VW Rabbit diesel got 65 MPG in 1975
My 78 ford fiesta got 33 👍
It was also a tin can death trap with a 15 second 0-60
I have a friend that has one. Slow, smoky and noisy but he likes it.
VW diesels are the best! Mine easily gets 43 mpg (‘97 Passat TDI)
@@zanesutherland406 I had an 97 Audi TDI that got 40mpg in 6th gear cruising at 100mph here in Germany where its LEGAL.
I have a jeep liberty with the old version of this engine. It's an updated version of the vm motori engine, it's not an Isuzu engine, at least from a foundation standpoint. I tow a 4000 lb trailer with my little suv, it does great,but I'm always worried about the chrysler reliability.
Yep a little research scotty
That Isuzu 2.8l diesel is very popular in Asia. It directly competes with the 2.8l diesel from Toyota . Both of these engines can put a million miles without any problems. Both these engines are even used to power boats across Thailand and Indonesia.
Isuzu makes one of the most reliable Diesel Engines.. My grandfather still have his Isuzu Pick up he bought brand new in 1985. I'll even dare to say they're almost as reliable as Scotty's Celica.
The Canyon has a really low roofline and limited headroom which is a deal breaker for taller people.
I'm 6.2 and 380lbs and i'm very comfy in my Colorado. The Tacoma has less cabin room.
my friend is 6'7 and fit in the backseat no problem
I'm 6 2. Define taller.
@@joejakubec9708 I'm also 6'2" and a coworker has one. Entry is difficult because the distance between the seat and the top of the door frame is too small. My head bumps the ceiling because the truck has a sunroof. My Kia Soul has more headroom and legroom.
Scotty gets me through the wait at the border while i cross 🙏
I was never a Chevy fan, but I like that truck! I would definitely consider it if I was in the market for a pickup.
My 2016 Colorado duramax is excellent . No problems , 28 mpg . I got a great deal 35k New 😎❤️🇺🇸
I can see that truck holding boost very well 👀👀
“So if you’re looking for a fuel efficient pickup truck...”
Me, kinda cheap like Scotty: *”S10”*
My Hombre going on 400k. Snapped in new rings at 250k(no ridge) & inserts with a fresh head. Aiming for 600k. All @ 25mpg
I am here to say I have this truck , with the diesel engine , and I LOVE IT! You can get more than 35 mpg if you’re trying! My max is 44.1 average. And it tows 7,700 lbs safely. Great truck!!
Scotty That's Amazing and I feel uplifted when you like GM. I never, never, after what you have been saying thought you would like a GM product! Amazing and seems to prove your not stuck on one brand which if that product is made exceptional enough you will tell it like it is! Bravo!
I revved up my engine but my transmission broke.
take it back to the Chevy dealership
@@scottykilmer they don’t want it back either! 😂
@@scottykilmer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Poor dodge
How weak does a truck have to be to get bent from a camper????
This happened to two whole trucks with camper, trailer, and an offroad trailer going too fast. More gladiators had bent frames with out campers in the bed
@@wantedformoney12 super weak metal and cheap plastic for double the price of the old card. Might as well buy something old, put a new motor in it and change all bushing and bearings. Probably save some money also.
It's not weak metal, it's abuse. You overload a vehicle beyond its capacity and then go hard offroading you're going to do damage to it. A camper on one of these trucks is fine, just don't expect to hit a 3 foot swoop at 40+ miles an hour with a overloaded tongue on a trailer and expect everything to be ok on the other side. Old trucks wouldn't do it either and have seen them bend in half with nothing in the bed.
I know the stories involving the bent frames and they had loaded down beds and trailers and were on the same offroad trail at different times when they bent their frames. Same place and circumstances for at least one guy in a gladiator
@@kareemakbar4975 That's called a restomod. I've got one. Calculate what it should cost and double it. I built mine in a year and that is considered very fast. When you're done, you'll have an awesome looking vehicle that people love, but it won't have any modern safety features. It isn't worth it.
The Colorado/canyon has slowly becoming the best mid size pickup with different trims and component improvements this generation. I anticipate the next one will likely be even better than the Tacoma in all regards
The dealership I bought my v6 gas colorado had a diesel colorado. I was impressed.
You do seem to like the diesels over there? If the tax was not that big? 1.9 TDI indestructable.
Nah man, the 300D Turbo Diesel Mercedes takes the cake for being indestructible.
I’ll stick with my 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins I pull so much stuff with both and I love them
I like the drive around your new neighborhood much better than the road rage pistol pointing traffic in Houston.
We have the Colorado ZR2 with the 2.8 duramax. Excellent truck. The DSSV suspension is night and day from the canyon or Z71 colorado. Excellent ride.
Scotty liked the ford 10 speed automatic transmission when it first came out . Now he singing a different tune.
Scotty is a fucktard tbh Lol. I do enjoy his constant uploads between watching AvE and McFarland.
He changes his mind constantly 😂😂
In Europe, this truck would probably get like 40+ MPG.
In Europe they still make the Rangers
Europe has better diesel fuel
My dad has a aluminum dog box on the back of his new 2021 crew cab pulling a trailer with a polaris ranger with dog box on it. He got the 3.0 w/ the 10 speed. He's getting 21 mpg and is very happy with it. He traded in his 2018 v8 that was getting 12mpg these averages are loaded.
I have a 2019 GMC Canyon 6cyl and I just love it. I can can get 34-35 miles on the highway with it also when using the cruise control. Once up to speed the engine turns off 2 of the cylinders and it just cruises. Beautiful truck. When I was originally looking to buy I was warned to stay away from Dodge due to constant electrical problems. I polled a few random strangers that had Dodges. They all loved the look of their trucks but confirmed they had electrical issues. I test drove the 4cyl and 6cyl Tacoma also. Both felt like they were underpowered and the best highway mileage for the 6 was 19mpg highway and the truck was considerably smaller. No thanks Toyota. The GMC Canyon has been a godsend. I love it.
BTW I also have a Nissan Frontier, which we call the traveling soda fountain because there's always something leaking. I will NEVER EVER buy another Nissan product. The engines are stuffed in small engine compartments and designed in a way that you have to disassemble to make the smallest of repairs.
The frame must be light weight too if it'll bend with a camper on board, likely another reason it gets 35 mpg, whole truck if likely built light.
If the frame light weight , how can it tow with trailer?🤔or what can the back bed be load with . does the bed have a weight limit?I would like to owe but I like to tow and use bed alot
Great video Scotty....I think GM is doing great things...
Like building a truck that can’t carry any weight?
@@vidguy007 That was some strange comment about the inability to carry a camper because of the weight. Wow.
@@fastacker2 yea the bed is just for looks
@@fastacker2 He clearly said it can't carry weight. He didn't say how much it does carry, so take your criticism to Scotty.
@@vidguy007 Yes, I was agreeing with you.
Its a VM Motori diesel design that is identical to the engines used in mid 2000's Jeep Liberty. If it was an Isuzu design, I'd suspect they wouldn't have issues with cracking pistons and broken valve lifters. The injectors also have had issues with sticking, blowing up engines. However, tuned to about 500 lb-ft of torque, they can be pretty fun to drive and usually haul mail up mountain passes with ease.
Scotty put his face by the exhaust no wonder he likes this truck
I've never seen Scotty build an engine in a video, can he???
they were putting deisel engines in the chevys we started getting in the military around 85 86, not 4 cylinders though
we had some GM products at the power company around that time and they were V-8 converted to diesel. mixed opinions on them.
All the popups are funny but I just lost it when I saw the big truck pulling the teeny tiny trailer when he was talking about pulling heavy weight lol
The 5.7 diesel was Never a gas engine, it was a completely different cast than the gas, we had one, got 34MPG no turbo, had over 100,000 on it when I was old enough to drive, my teenage years I abused that car more than one can imagine, totalled the car out, pulled the engine and put it in another car. Now that I am older I wish I had the car back, the mileage and comfort, now they have to turbo a 4 cylinder to get the same mileage, you call that progress!
But, it's a GMC. So, no. Sure to break right after warranty.
Both my brand new Colorado's did , never again
@@jonathangleaves9571 the trick is, to bring it in before the warranty expires bitching about every and keep doing it for 2 months straight.
100% true
@@PB-wb2kj Trues statement if the dealership or gm would fix it , they refused said it was normal. I gave up on gm
@@jonathangleaves9571 what broke?
Remember Ford forgot how to keep spark plugs in their car.
Loll 5.4
Certain series of trucks; I heard you can't get them out; ya have to break em off, drill em out, thread it with a tap, install liner, etc. Not a cheap process. But if ya don't do that they'll never come out; easy to o find!

I still don't know why anyone would buy a ford, and for the life of me, I don't know why Scotty Would ever recommend any Ford. His repair is undeniably reputable but never would I ever trust anyone who tells me to buy a Ford. (At least anything that was made in my lifetime.)
yeah...ask a fleet mechanic about the baby duramax.....and its real fun trying to get parts with the strike plus the coof....hope u saved all that gas money...youll need it
The Isuzu engines are PRETTY awesome actually.
1:31 I heard, "Not like they pulled rabbit out of their A$$" 🤣
Uncle Scotty post’s we watch

I know why Scotty likes this truck.
Everything from the turbo to the DEF system is constant maintenance.
But when they are new ,they're great.
This Chevy Canyon truck would be a great lease vehicle.
Bluebird has announced that they will be offering the Ford 7.3 V8 in their gas buses. I know it’s already in a lot of RVs like Winnebago models. When other manufacturers take interest in outsourcing an engine from a automaker it’s usually for a good reason. Ford and GM both make really good pushrod engines. Ford's old pushrod V8s were actually more dependable than their older OHC V8s, though they make really solid DOHC engines today.
