I recently bought a 2011 Ford F150 with the 5.0L V8 4X4 in February of this year. It only had 65K miles on it when I bought it and now it has 66K miles on it. Being a mechanic myself, I bought it because I know that you're absolutely right. It's the best, most dependable truck on the road. Everything works perfectly on it and it rides like a dream. My wife loves riding in it (she owns a 2018 Ford Escape that i bought for her and she loves it). I have to say I love your content sir. Being a Houstonian myself, I can really appreciate taking the family down to Galveston once in a while myself. Keep up the good work sir.

Or he was an italian in previous life.

As a used auto rebuilder and dealer for the past 23 years , my # 1 pick is Toyota Tundra . We rebuilt and sold hundreds of trucks and there is nothing that comes close to the Tundra in durability . Very solid and almost trouble free truck and a pease of mind. Never had a Customer in the past 15 years with any mechanical issues with a Tundra . The worst truck is Titan, almost every truck had multiple issues . The second best truck is Tacoma . Only one truck that had transmission problem out of over 120 sold . # 3 is the Silverado, and # 4 is RAM and F150 5.4L. These trucks are very hot sellers but they require you to leave your truck at the mechanic shop for long time to fix problems that don’t happen in Toyota trucks.

I test drove a newer one a few years back and really hated the interior - made me want to rip it out and start from scratch: new seats, instrument cluster, stereo, and inset for the console screen [to help viewability in the daytime], the glove box... everything from cupholders to carpet to door panels - leave nothing but the paint and start from scratch.

Ford Ranger...had head gasket issues with both my 1994 and 2000. leaf spring shackles in the back busted loose on both trucks and that was not an inexpensive fix. The rear section of the frame then broke after having the leaf spring shackles repaired...busted frame ended it for the 2000. Had a rebuilt Jasper Engine put in the 2000 after a valve went bad and the Jasper engine had a valve go bad also, fortunately was still under warranty. Lot of nagging little issue with the 2000. Bottom line, not impressed with reliability of either of my Rangers.

I Dailey my 94 gmc sierra and it has 416 thousand miles. Good truck

My 2007 Tacoma is proof of how durable they are. It drove a couple thousand miles with low gear oil in the rear diff. A few hundred miles with a dying or dead alternator on just a new battery. It even drove with a shot wheel bearing and broken strut. I also hooked the wrong battery up on opposite posts and it only blew the 140 main fuse. Even when parts were broken, it got me where I needed to be. By the way, it's an offroad only rig these days and runs maybe about a month every year. It doesn't quit and impresses my neighbors when it fires up without hesitation.

Thank s so much for this video! I'm a female who usually gets the run around when asking for specifics on vehicles, so a huge thank you! Tired of my 30 yr old car and looking for a truck to get more work done! Great video and clarity!

I agree I currently own a 09 4.7l Toyota Tundra with 160k. been a great truck. I did have some transmission shudder issues around 150k but my local Toyota dealership took care of me. I love the truck but maintenance is outrageously expensive. $2000 for timing belt every 100k miles. I love the truck and it never left me stranded and nothing breaks.

Thanks! That's my thing. Moving to an extremely rural area. Need easily repaired. Had a friend who had a Toyota truck. Had some problems with it in the rural south. Took it to a mechanic who sent him to the local foreign engine repair shop. He got there and it was a lawnmower repair! Your photo examples are hilarious!

I have always loved the old Rangers - bought an ‘09 brand new with the intent of keeping it forever! The thing I love about it the most is it’s basic simplicity - no high tech gizmos to break down just as the warranty expires and drive you nuts as you’re driving down the road!

Rangers have great engines but the frames often rust and crack before the engine goes.

My absolute favorite trucks ever are the 1970-1986 Ford F-150s and F-250s. My mom even had a couple in the past, so I've got a bit of a soft spot for them.

I am reminded quite often how useful a pickup truck is. I have a 2013 Tacoma that has been great so far. The only thing that is a problem on the truck is the back bumper - it will completely rust out every few years. Had a new one put on in January 2018, as it stands now, I think I may have another 1 1/2 years left before I will have to get a new one again. The rest of the truck is doing fine. Thankfully.

Been driving my 2004 Ranger since I bought it in 2004. Great little truck.

I'm getting addicted to this channel! Thank you!

First let me say I love Scotty's videos, and really respect his views on cars. That having been said, I almost agree with this list. I think 1 & 2 should be switched. The reliability of Toyota Tundra outweighs Fords ability to be repaired easily. Also, if the day should ever come that you'd want to sell your Tundra(God knows why!!!) Tundra has always had a higher resale value. I think Tundra should have been the #1 choice. The F-150 is a great 1-3 year ownership, But Tundra is a lifetime truck!
