You can do a best diesel truck video (excluding the hilux) as well as a dually or not to dually video pros and cons of each.

My 1994 El Dorado averaged 24.6 mpg with a 275(4.99 litre, 300 cu.in.) horse power 8 cylinder. It had overdrive and ran at 1750 rpm's at 70 mph. It had over 225,000 miles when I was t-boned. It had an aero dynamic front end that lowered the faster it went. A quick car with plenty of comfort. I paid $9,000 for it in 1998. My other Caddy, a 1993 Sedan deVille(last year of its style), had the same engine but less horse power at 225hp and got 21.3 mpg. BUT what a comfortable ride. I sold it to my son with 145,000 miles. He drove it until 2003 and traded it in. The new owner called me when he bought it and it turned out I knew him. He knew I took care of my vehicles with regular maintenance and was happy to find it.He still has it as of 2020.

@bricefleckenstein9666 11 месяцев назад

I used to get right about 30 MPG in my 1982 Mustang GT - though I grant that was "a little" over the evil 55 MPH speed limit. Probably closer to 27-28 at 70. Turned 1600 RPM at the speed limit, as I recall - and I got to BURY the 85MPH speedometer at the 6000 RPM redline in SECOND gear (it was the 4 speed manual). Very fun car for the time, anemic by CURRENT standards - and that 302 was one of the legendary "last forever with decent care" engines.

1.8 is best. Your right about 5000 mile oil changes. If you pay attention to how your engine is performing. You'll notice if you go past 5000 miles, you can start to feel your engine losing performance and power. The motor will also start to get louder. Starting to run a little ruff and less gas mileage...

I thought the light came on at 3000 miles so always let about a month go by before changing. Oops! But still running great at 290,000. But really, with that small oil filter I wish I would have changed it before 4000 miles. I guess it only took me 16 years to read the operators manual😢.

There was a seller here in NC recently of a 1990 Corolla wagon, pristine cond, almost like-new, RED. I wanted it SOOO bad but he wanted 4800. I offered 4k, still too much, he declined. Whatever. My mechanic said he won't even work on cars that old, no diagnosis port. So I gave up and found a Vibe in Atlanta for way too much but it had a 30 day warranty which I needed after the coil pack went bad within a week. Echo Park honored the warranty, no issues though Firestone was not very communicative about anything, like, didn't even call me when the car was ready. Hoping the Vibe goes to 400k.

Hi Scotty, I just found your channel last week because I am car shopping. After 16 years with my 2006 Subaru Forester @ 153,000 miles and constant repairs in the last 12 months. Unfortunately I didn't wise up sooner and trade it out when I began leaking oil about 6 years ago and my mechanic told me to "get used to it" bc I would not want to pay to fix the leaky head gasket problem. Every time I've had a repair I hear "unfortunately it's the boxer engine design and labor cost is higher" . Well, it's been a slow drain on my savings. So, Scotty, I am now convinced after watching many of your videos that my next vehicle, based upon my needs and living in Florida, is going to be a Toyota FW drive, 4cyl. 6 or 8 speed engine, Period, the end. This video has saved me from the Honda 1.5 ltr turbo CR-V and the Subaru CVT engine, and , I certainly don't need AWD. Thank you sir!!!!!

I hear ya on that. I despise automobiles systems being more and more computer controlled. More tech more that can go wrong and more it costs to fix (Murphy's law). So saving on gas will still cost one alot later when sensors go bad and computer starts making efficiency adjustments and actually makes things worse possibly costing you more to fix it and being a check engine light head ach. New car comes with: Loan to pay + new car means full coverage insurance if there's a loan lean on it. + still there's cost for maintenance and tires. So new or used cars with computers and lots of sensors to go bad and cause check engine light head ache havoc nightmares isn't saving any money or reducing any stress in the long run. It's just a trade off, tricking the mind "Oh look much I'll save on gas" but have to pay that saved money on the car loan. Cost of a new car is a rip off.

We rented an Explorer years ago to drive to a Nat'l Hudson Car Club (I had a '50 Pacemaker Coupe then) meet in Tulsa Okla. since the tranny in my '97 Suburban said goodbye 15 miles out of town! My wife loved that truck and it ran great with that V6, lots of power and decent gas mileage. A few years later, a snowbird from the Northeast, runs a red light in a rented Yukon right in front of my wife who t-bones them in the side flipping the Yukon on it's back, and now the front grill and bumper on her 2015 Fiat 500L is now under the windshield. The airbags do their job, she only gets some scrapes and seatbelt bruises. Afterwards my wife says no more tiny ars and she wants an explorer, but not a fancy one, just the biggest V motor and 4x4 are our only mandates. We look at the dealer and of course they show us the new 2021 models that had jut been delivered a few days earlier, and sticker shock, we knew we were going to pay that. So we told them we wanted a V6 and 4x4 in a base model, nothing else mattered. Eventually they found a new 2019 witth 25 miles on it in a back storage lot I guess rarely used. It was considerably less cost than a 2020 and the 2021 I think only offered a turbocharged I-4. We had it since the and it only has 17K on it and has the oil changed every 5-6K, quicker if we drive it up north to the snow, which it's only had 3 trips 1.5 hour ech way and one trip west at 5 hour each way. My wife teaches classical piano from her studio in our home, so she has minimal driving needs and I use it to go to my doctor or pharmacy. As soon as I can sell or trade my '56 Dodge CRL project, I can replace the engine and trans in my '65 El Camino and then that's what I will drive to wake up the neighbors with!

350 cubic inch... everyone has been making them forever, and they were pretty good at it 50 years ago. They are GREAT at making them now. EDIT, overengineered and understressed is the key.

The old 1.6 L toyota engine and the 1.5 Toyota Prius engine are also highly reliable.
