I still have a '79 F150 with 460/C6 automatic trans. Has over 300,000 miles. Never recalled, never rebuilt engine or trans. doesn't even burn oil. 100% built in US. It may not be fancy, but it has endured 42 years of lousy Idaho weather. It may be low tech, but I can still depend on it...
I agree. 79 is a great year, too! I have a 72 F100 4x4 short bed with 390-4 bbl, 4 speed granny, lockers. I have had it almost 30 years and have used the heck out of it. Also, some off-road use, as well. It has been 100% reliable and always gets me there and back.
It basically calls out all the trucks sold in the US, at least the biggest sellers. It makes sense but only because of sheer numbers of these trucks being sold.
No number qnd statistics data in clear way. We know almost no Tacoma has big problems besides some period with rusting frame that Toyota release free replacement campaign
@@WingWalker1 Good things about Toyota, usually they have campaign to fix it for free, but not recalls that you will get letter. We just need to actively check NHTSA website about any TSB or Champaign.
Listening to you is almost as good as listening to my doctor telling me what not to eat. So I usually ask my doctor after every visit, so what do I suppose to eat? I guess I will ask you the same question, what damn truck do we suppose to buy them?
I have three F-Series trucks, driven a cumulative total of 560,000 miles...... not one of these so-called problems with any of them. This poster Modern Muscle is a hackjob.

I rolled a tundra over and over again about 5 times they said on I-4 . It took some work to kick the door open. But after I got out I went to lunch with the friend who picked me up.. so there's that. But my go to truck is a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
I owned a 2004 and 2011 Ranger and currently own a 2020 Ranger. The 'O4 and '11 were two of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned, requiring only oil changes and new tires during the years I owned them. Thus far, my '20 has proven equally reliable. Of course, I don't treat my trucks as brutally as many Ranger owners have been known to, so that may have something to do with it.
Same here. I've owned two of them, the current one is a '94 Ranger with about 270,000 miles no rebuild and still runs great. Only maintenance is oil changes and tires. Not even spark plugs..... yes I kinda abuse it and it still keeps going. 😃👍
I feel sorry for people having to change their cars this often. My car is 1976 model. Does a great job. Regular servicing and the odd sometimes seemingly expensive repair. I have total immunity to what is an absolute scam. The modern motor car.
Sad really. There is at least one investment property or the like squandered on 3 cars in 16 years. Most modern people are now stuck in this costly rut. Well done modern motor vehicle scam
I owned a 2002 Ranger which I drove for 500,000 miles with no problems. I just did the essential maintenance. I own a 2011 Ranger Sport I bought brand new and currently has 300,000 with no issues. They are and were daily drivers (50 miles to work one way). Very reliable trucks.
I have a 2000 Ford Ranger stepside, no major problems, runs good. I've had 14 different offers since I've owned it the last 2 years as it's a very good-looking truck and in excellent condition. Truck is over 20 years old, I'm the second owner and was well taken care of. No complaints here.
2014 Chevy Silverado 3500 4x4 crew cab long box 6.0 gas single wheel. 90% of the time on the road its pulling car trailer/boat. Owned it over 5 years and no issues.
5:00 - It should be noted that the new Ford Ranger and the previous generation Ranger are 100% different vehicles. The old Ranger ended production in 2011, while a different pickup that carried the Ranger name was sold outside the US. The new Ranger is an updated version of that internationally sold one. It's too new to make a decision on its merits, yet. But by 2023/24, we (the buying public) should have some well fleshed-out performance and reliability data to go off of.
One year ago I bought a low mileage 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. Hemi with 395 hp has awesome power and performance. Excellent truck. Is it any good ? Surely not according to this article.
I mean come on... dont you know its the OBJECTS that are the problem NOT the people? Spoons are why we are fat... Guns spontainiously just kill mother fuckers everywhere... in today's society blaming the person is just mean and socially insensitive. (I need some play-Doh and therapy because your comment made me feel sad...)
No, tundra is very deadly, the dull interior can lead to explosions if you reroute the fuel line through the interior then accidentally kick it apart with your foot then accidentally set the exposed fuel on fire with an unfinished cigarette bud. exploding all the vehicle occupants. The tundra can also explode if you drive it off a cliff at 120mph, exploding all the occupants. See tundra is deadly.
The Tundra 5.7 V8 had plenty of issues. That is why Toyota stopped selling that engine. Now they are putting turbos in the new Tundra. Somehow, I doubt that is going to turn out so well.
I think he named every single truck made so what truck is good ......... The guy who wrote this article must be a Nissan Titan Fanboy cuz I think that was the only truck he didn't name
Carried the mail in a ford ranger for thirty five years. First one was a eighty six model. Last one was at 2011. Very dependable. I made 550 stops A day. Traveled eighty five miles. Co-workers use them too.
Pretty sure they fixed that for 2021 and recalled a whole bunch back and replaced the parts. It was a company that they bought the steering components from that decided to use softer metals for the rod connections. But yes it never should have happened.
Worn front shocks can cause that. That happened on 2000 F350 diesel. That truck went through a pair of front shocks and 2 pairs of rear shocks in the 24 years we owned it. Hated getting rid of it but started having trouble getting up into it after I aged out and became an invalid. Spent about $10k on maintenance through the years but not a nickel on the great 7.3 powerstroke.
"...a 2.5 liter v6 engine..." And, they show an inline 4. If you can't get the easy stuff right, do you expect us to trust you, on the hard stuff? steve
On the Ford 5.4 3v engines, the phaser going bad isn't the problem, it's a symptom. The problem is a failing oil pump. Melling makes a better than factory oil pump that corrects that issue.
Worked on many of them on the three Val the old retired generals are too small If you don’t change the oil every 4000 miles it clogs up and restrict the hose do your homework
The Honda was a surprise i have to admit, but what was missing from this list was the 2019 Toyota Tacoma. Not only is all the wiring made of Soy product, the fuel pump was so dodgy it often stank of gas, the drivers seat collapsed, and the throttle body would spontaneously loose power without warning. Handed it back and Toyota Finance had no issues with me doing so. Cost cents on the dollar as well.
Believe it or not f250 and f350 are only rated for 60mph. The dealership never tells anyone this. Most people don't have much of a problem, but more often than you would think, what is called death wobble occurs. All the dealership is going to do is give you a free alignment and if problem persists they pretty much tell you that you're on your own
Lol... you did mention the Honda Ridgeline but not the year? for failures?..but the customers reviews said something different than you said, also is one of the most safest trucks out there.
I just had to get rid of my F350. what a helluva engine that is! But I couldn't get up in the truck anymore at times. Had to purchase a stool and my neighbor says to me "Lee you need to sell that thing and get something a lot smaller". And sadly that's what I just did. That engine never burned a drop of oil in fact the only oil it got was when I changed it after every 4k miles or so. Yep when my friends were putting quarts into their gassers I'm putting gallons of Shell Rotella T in ours. USA should take some lessons from Europe regarding diesel.
OMG so I'm thinking "Tonka" that I will then enlarge in a 3D laser printer. I will then add a Porsche engine and a transmission from and Abrahams tank. LOL!
My dad had a 2005 ford f250 harley davidson and it had problems bc the original owner probably used it for alot of work stuff but besides that the truck wasn't deadly but my dad sold his f250 bc it had problems and I saw my dads f250 by where my cousin lives
Well that saves my problem to buy a new truck. I'LL keep my 2001 Dodge Dakota R/T with 319.000 miles on the original engine wich runs like new . The way i see it, old is better then new.
My dad got a brand new 85 Chevy Silverado and I bet we put a billion miles on that truck.I would love it if these car companies would stop using us test subjects and give is a real depandable Ride.And we all no they can but wont because they cant stay in business with depandable parts.
They want to stuff them full of tech to satisfy the trendy crowds. The only benefit I see from modern tech is the engine management systems. Most of that is to meet federal standards.
I've owned 6 Ford trucks over the years and other than a little oil burning have had no troubles. I currently have a F150 with 246,000 miles that has the 4.6 v8 and it doesn't use oil or give any problems and would be a beast on the drag strip but I'm not a hot rodder.
This sounds quite biased towards pickups you would think that for the most popular truck in America that the f-150 would be great and the ridgeline is an awesome truck as well unless you’re towing more than the 5000 pound weight limit then you’re not gonna have a problem many many reviews have proved this I feel like that would be because people try to push the ridgeline beyond it’s limits
@@MrPAULONEAL ok some suspension parts are different and the Raptors have a supercharger but they do have the same basic engine, transmission (depending on package)rear end, core support, cab, and it's all aluminum riveted and literally glued together. I'm really trying to keep it simple for you. I tear into those type of things daily as a career and has been for going on 30 years. They're built with good things in mind but executed very cheaply. Don't fall for the commercial and sales brochure lol
@@mrbiggdick9114 you obviously don’t know a thing about Ford trucks or specifically the Ford Raptor. There have only been 3 engines ever put into the stock Raptor and none of them were supercharged. The 2010 Ford Raptor came with a naturally aspirated 5.4 with the 6.2l being an option. 2011 Ford Raptor had the 6.2l as the base engine with some SE models equipped with a pro charger. The 2017 Ford Raptor to current model have the 3.5l twin turbo V6. None of the suspension parts from the F150 will fit the Ford Raptor. The front clip and rear clip are unique to the Raptor on the 2010-2014 models. Only the cab is from the F150. 2017 to current Raptors have their own specific body and suspension including the frame.
