That's a great engine and I've owned 2 of them. I curse the day I sold my 1984 F-250 with the big six and 4-spd. manual trans. I used it in many ways from hauling a ton of wood pellets, gravel, sand, soil, firewood, bark dust, a couple of household moves, and the occasional appliance home from the stores. It's 4WD was very dependable and in 1st gear and 4WD I used it to help remove a tree stump from my daughter's front yard. In spite of all this work, this engine never complained or balked at getting the job done, whatever it might be. Maintenance was very simple and I did all of that in my own driveway and garage. It got 16-17 mpg, which was about 30% better than a lot of F-250s with the V-8 engines. It was an amazing truck and I always regretted Ford not continuing to develop this engine. I can only imagine how good it would have been with a 4-valve per cylinder aluminum head, fuel injection, headers, hi-performance ignition, and a turbo on it. I've seen pics of a few Ford 300s with a turbo and it really wakes the old girl up. The low end torque was pretty amazing, even without those add-ons.
@@edb3877 I have a 93 F150 with the inline 6 motor. One day the brake line started to leak, so I put it off to the side, and never drove it again.I offered it to my brother in law, and he wanted to pick it up and use it. Year after year he said he wanted it. Much later, he decided he didn't want it. Sooooo, I still have it, and it's parked under a tree, and have been there for years. Poor thing. I just don't have time for it, and it just needs a brake line. Runs great when I parked it.
I had a 4.9 lt 300 ci Ford in my little Ford f150 4x4 truck when I gave it away it had 720 thousand miles and was still gunning strong I don't know how many more miles it could have done because the man I gave it to did a rebuild on it the transmission in the same truck I had to have it rebuilt 5 times and rebuilt transfer case 1 time but that 300 was a work horse and never left me in the back woods
I bought a 1980 Ford F-150 shortbed at an estate auction 7 years ago because it has the 300 inline 6 cylinder. It also had 72,454 miles on it, undercoat, original paint. Garage kept. You never know what you might bring home from an auction.
I would go back to my younger days, and say that the Mopar slant 6 and the Mopar 318 should be on this list. And, no engine using a timing belt should be on this list. Worst idea ever to replace the timing chain with a belt.
Timing belts are easy maintenance. Plus with some manufacturers using lightweight single roller aluminum timing chains the belt so much more reliable. Plus they didn't say the 5.9 V8 is based on the design of the 318/ 5.2 V8. Plus the 3.9 V6 has the same bulletproof design
I've heard the slant 6 was a good engine. I had a 1972 318 and my parents had a 1973 318. Both were crap. If there was a rain cloud in sight you better not pull out in traffic because it would stall, and you'd get plowed.
@@NotACrat 2uzfe- nope. timing belt is a major issue. Sure it would go 400K miles, but it requires expensive maintenance. it also had a bad and very expensive to replace AIR pump.
I have 2 Toyota pickups, 1986 and 87. Both have 22R engines and they are my every day drivers. Combined over 500k miles. I ran into a guy at O'Reilly's one day and he had a 85. Said he had over 900k on his, but had replaced the bed 3 times from rust.
I had a 1982 Toyota 4x4 long bed with the 22R engine in it. It didn't have enough power to get out of its own way, but wow, was it reliable. 250k on the clock when the salted roads finally took their toll on the frame. Man, I miss that truck.
I have a 2004 Ford Ranger XLT. I bought it from my grandpa years ago. He always kept up with the maintenance and everything, as did I when I bought it from him. Looks absolutely mint. It has 314,560 miles on it and still going strong. A lesson that he taught me, he would always say was, "If you take care of your car, it will take car of you". 💯
Yep, both are at the top, I'd give the 12v the #1 spot, but they are definitely the top of the heap, and the only other motor that ever comes close would be the Ford 300
😂 WRONG! If you're gonna be a grammar Karen, at least be correct in your correcting."I'd", was correct, I'm makes no sense in his sentence.🥴@@FrankHarris-f1l
Only if you replace the killer dowel pin. Otherwise it's a waiting game to see if the timing cover self destructs and takes the rest of the engine with it.
The Ford 300 cubic inch six-cylinder end is unstoppable. I managed truck fleets for many years, these were amazing. The other thing about this motor is its smoothness. In-line six-cylinder engines have an inherent perfect balance due to an equal firing pattern. That along with the seven main bearing crank makes these engines smoother running than any four, V-6, or V-8 engine. I bought a 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat brand-new. It was loaded, but had this six, and a 5-speed manual transmission. I loved that truck.
I had three or four vehicles and forgot to check my oil on my F100 big 6 ! Didn’t have a teaspoon of oil in it! Put oil in it and it still runs that was about twenty five years ago 🤔
My dad bought a 1990 f-150 xlt lariat new with the 300 and zf5 in the single cab short bed variant in alpine green and single tank with auto 4x4. I wish I could’ve seen that truck run he parked it before I was born and it’s got something like 320k on it. But it’s been sitting for roughly 20 years because he just let it go, makes me so mad sometimes I go out and sit in it in the front yard and imagine how nice of a truck it could’ve been
Almost ANY inline 6 will last a long long time due to their almost perfect symmetry while running, they have a natural balance that is unmatched. I hated when Jeep (I know it ain't really Jeep, but, Stellantis) switched that out for the v6 pentastar. What a hunk of crap those engines are.
I am 10 years and 200k into a 97 I bought 10 years ago from the original owner. The oil has never been dirty. I expect to be driving it for 20 more years. Not bad for $1800.
My 5.3 Silverado has 350, 000 miles and still ran good, until a drunk driver smashed me one evening. Take care of them and they will last. I have 6.0 with 250,000 miles, and a 6.2 with 235,00 still running good as new .
Coworker had a 5.3 with 433k miles when it finally gave out (our guess was the oil pickup tube came loose on the highway). I've got two, one with 280k and the other with 234k. Although they are all non-afm engines.
Just turned 380k on my 1996 7.3. It starts every time and runs smooth.Its been all over the country and I would not hesitate to pull my 40ft gooseneck anywhere in the lower 48. It has done it year after year. A true workhorse.
Age is what's going to take a serious toll and take a lot of those trucks off the road. In the rust belt those trucks are all rusted and usually completely rotted and everywhere else the trucks are becoming clapped and need everything, not to mention when these trucks become high mileage mysterious electrical issues start to happen due to fatigued/chafed wiring and the PCMs are starting to become common to fail as well, not to mention the auto trans those trucks used typically only last around 150-200k so at 400k it's probably on its 2nd or 3rd trans and replacements are becoming hard to find and expensive. They are good trucks but their time is running out as age piles on.
@@briang4470 I have a Ford 6.0, and agree with you. I have the manual, but rust, parts, and phantom electrical issues will eventually get them all. Have fun
Keep doing the maintenance and fix any little issues when they crop up and it’ll go for a long time. I just took my 96 7.3 down for a rebuild as she was smoking pretty good. Found worn rings and excessive play in one piston. Otherwise you could still see the crosshatching on the cylinder walls and absolutely no sludge in the engine whatsoever. Not too bad at 509,000 miles
@@dragonslayer9465wow love to have her!! Only truck I’d have as a dream truck right beside the 87 Chevy short box 350 and the 07 lbz Chevy is my absolute favourite
I have a 5.7 V8 quad-cab 2008 Tundra. I bought it with 55k miles in December 2010 and have driven it HARD. Hard accelerations on highways, high speeds, etc. Etc. . . I am over 285k miles now. Love that truck.
2011 5.7 crewmax and beat the hell out of it and still can’t kill it. Still has 13 year old gear oil and transmission oil. Tires brakes and oil changes is all I’ve done for maintenance.
Yes the 1994.5-1995 was the 1st gen 7.3 powerstroke. it had a 2 piece front cover and 8 bolt intake at 2 quick ways to tell what year the engine is. then the 96-97 like mine have a 1 piece and have the 8 bolt like the super dutys. also in stock form these do not have an air to air cooler and have a 15 degree hpop then E99 was a year of its own. ive never messed with one but i know on the truck bodies the v8 powerstroke emblem is on the fender directy behind the head light/running light assembly. then L99-March of 2001 was the next generation (3rd gen) 7.3 powerstroke it had the air to air cooler the wiring harness was changed to accomindate the glow plug and starter relays both ontop of the engine mounting to the pass inner head. and they went to the split shot injectors. for reduced noise and easier starting. they still offered the forged internal rods tho. the March 01-March of 03 they change the internal rods to PMR rods. the 17 degree hpop was also introduced in the E99-03 generations 7.3s as well. there are also a few other variates that can be noticed upon inspections of these trucks/suvs as well. ive had a few and like them.
That is a motor ford should’ve never stopped producing. I worked on many of those 7.3 power stroke and it was mostly the valve seats after millions of miles. 37.5 degree intake and 35 degree exhaust valve angle. I’ve done performance rebuilds on the 7.3 power stroke. Great engine.
The Chevy 350 4-bolt truck engines are super tough and easy to rebuild. We did one in high school auto shop, completely stock except for a high lift cam. I beat that thing up, revving up to 5000 RPM and once accidentally to 8000 RPM and it never even blinked. Awesome motor.
2005 gmc 2500hd 6.0 has 340 thousand and still running great. Internally.All I’ve done is an oil pump and general maintenance. Use about a half quart of oil between changes. I’ve owned the truck as a new used truck got it with 3 thousand miles on it been my daily driver
my 7.3 powerstroke in my 96 f350 has almost 500k its at 396,000 but rolled over once. then my 96 f150 300 inline 6 has 350,000 and still going. my 5.9 12v is a solid engine it was in a bus now its in my 90 f350. and my 1994 mazda b2300 2.3 8 plug 4 cylinder 248,000 runs excellent.
i have a 5.9L diesel and the thing still purrs like a kitten and is a power house for whatever i'm pulling. it has over 433,000 miles. doesn't burn oil, but does leak some... Great motor.
Ford 4.6 2v and 3v are amazing engines. I have 320000 miles on my 4.6 3v. The 7.3 easily goes over 500k miles. So many out there hit 1 million miles. Cummins 5.9 should be tied for first with the 7.3 powerstroke
2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 4.0 lasted me 317,000 miles before I had it rebuilt. It was still running ok when I pulled it out . I've been daily driving it for since December of 2000. Plan on driving it for another 24 years.
Wow, my 1999 PSD has only 219,000 miles and now I put less than 600 mi a year on it. The body is in perfect shape and I will be repainting the exterior next year. It has been in the Southwest desert all it's life. It probably will outlive me!
I also have a 02 350 single axle extended cab in absolute mint condition she is a beauty I paid 12k with 230k miles off some old man 1 owner truck barn kept its whole life with not a bit of rust on her he wanted 14k he did some upgrades 5" exhaust and stage 1 turbo I drive it on the weekends and tow my camper other than that it stays inside the garage I'll never sell it for any amount of money
I have a 2003 F250 with the 5.4L (2 valve version) and yeah, not going to win any performance awards, but I have 250K miles on it and it runs like new! Transmission is a different story...
I have an 05 F150 with the 5.4L Triton. Currently has 407K miles and rebuilt the motor at 350K. Replaced stock transmission at 110K miles and still running on 2nd transmission. Religiously replace all fluids. Motor oil every 3K miles, transmission and differential fluids every 40K. She pulls my toy hauler with no problem.
Ha! I have a Cummins 6.7 in my Ford F 350. I pulled the POS 6.4 when I bought it and found it had a blown cylinder and installed the 6.7. It’s a dream truck. After 9 years and 227k miles it still runs as smooth as the day we turned it over. No leaks, burns no oil. Been told that if I keep maintaining it the way I am it can hit a million miles no problem. I aim to find out. 👍
What? No Ford 4.6 2 valve? Change the oil every 3 to 5k and itll easily go 1/2 million. Wont go fast, but itll go good. I sold mine with 300k on it, and it still ran like the day i bought it. Its still driving somwhere in Kansas. Id bet its well over 400k by now.
Mine is over 240k at this time. Fires up every single time. Doesn't even burn a drop of oil. Religiously used MOBiL1 after 1,00 mile break in. Did ya know that engine was also used in the mid 2000's GT Mustang?
Used in performance cars, trucks, and luxury cars (liveries) such as my Lincoln Town Car. Very reliable bullet-proof engine. Known to go 400 or 500K without any major work needed.
They were reviewing only consumer products. A 5.9L Cummins, being an industrial engine, would not qualify for this list. It's an apples to oranges comparrison.
1uz, 2uz ,3uz are the most durable engines ever built. I have a 2uz that has 760,000 miles in a 2001 Tundra, I've had to rebuild the transmission and replace the rear carrier around the 500,000 mile mark but the engine still doesn't use any oil. I've used mobile 1 and BG moa every 5000 miles as well as top teir fuel. Changed the timing belt 4 times, radiator 2 times, alternator 2 times. I've used it as a tow pig to haul cars and still do. I have kept the truck maintenance up and not let things go. It's looking kinda ruff now but still runs like a watch.
And my little surprise is that I have had the same engine in my 1964 Ford F250 the 292 V8 engine. It's the same as a 4.8 liter. It is a tough engine. I bought the truck from my Dad in 1980 when I graduated from High School. I made a few tweaks like going to headers which replace a cross over pipe and went to a 3.73 differential replacing the 4:10 differential. But you can't beat this bullet proof engine.
@@kermitefrog64 I had a 1959 Ford Galaxie white with a 292 with blue material -vinyl -3 speed on the column -The Nicksich Bros Ford heads put a high rise with a 4 barrel Police interceptor on it .

Sorry but ford didn't make the 7.3, international made the engine... and i hate ti say it but the 7.3 is at number 1.. if you take care of the engine it will go 1 million miles
@@handbananaistherapist642 New Mexico. It was a bust though. This guy tredwell who is a guide and outfitter came with his ranch hand and cut fences and pushed the herd I was chasing out of our unit.🤬
My '71 F250 Explorer with the 390 has just over 750,000 miles on it. Needs to have the cylinder heads redone for the third time, but a valve grind is not all that hard to do. OK, yeah. I lied. It was rebuilt with 601k miles on it.
The 22r doesn't have the timing chain guide problems of the 22re. Pre 1983 had dual row chains with metal guides. 1984 went to plastic guides and single row chain. Guides are weak and will break. I just installed the LCE dual chain kit for my 85 4runner.
I have 3.0L 1mz-fe Sienna van never had a problem with it just timing belt replacement and radiator tranny is perfect with Aisin brand. I also have a 5VZ-fe just as reliable 2000 Prerunner with Aisin tranny as well.
2000 tacoma v6. Was my Dad’s truck. Had to change radiator, rack and pinion, power steering pump, battery, timing belt, fuel filter, intake boot or hose, shocks struts tires, plug wires, and now have a good work truck @332000 looking for more and i dont baby it. Pound the streets of Atlanta. My first toyota. I love my big Chevys but im impressed.
The Ford 5.4 Triton would be a pick for me. Bought a 1998 Expedition with that motor changed the oil every 3,000 miles, and spark plugs four times, an alternator once and the battery twice in the 297,000 miles I had it. Was still running strong when I sold it in 2012.
my 2000 Tundra had the 4.7 with 570,000 km on it. it was used as a work truck for most of its life often hauling a 16' flat deck trailer or stuff in the box. Amazingly i could drive it 15,000km between oil changes and never had a worry about the oil level as there was near zero oil consumption even at 575,000km! I swear it had more power than when new. It really woke when i installed some Bosch quad 4 spark plugs which i see were discontinued.
I have three 4.3 vortex in my shop where the counter shaft is sticking outside the block. I haven't dismantled yet, so I'm not sure what caused them to grenade. One came out of a1/2 ton two were in blazers/Jimmy
Cummins is a heavy duty engine used in thousands of highway semis for many years. It shouldn’t actually even be on this list since Cummins is not owned by dodge. It’s a commercial truck engine available in many applications.
@@Localtruthspeakeryou correct, I don't know why these Mopar Fiat fans think it's something special about Dodge, Dodge always been trash, Cummings gets this credit
@@Localtruthspeaker The semi trucks have a larger Cummins that weighs over 2,000 lbs and won't even fit in a pickup. The Cummins B motor was originally a tractor motor; you will find them in especially Case tractors and log skidders. Later they put them in medium trucks and school buses. There was also a 3.9l 4 cylinder B motor that was in delivery vans and such.
They also didn't mention that the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins are also found in the over 2 ton Ford Trucks as well. Ford owns a large part of Cummins and rumor has it they wanted to quit selling Cummins to Dodge/Ram to stifle competition. However they were bound by contract to sell them so it continues (according to the stories I hear which are all hearsay not based on any solid facts that I know of). Ford struggled a lot with their diesel engines over the years. I had a a friend who once owned a Ford, not sure the year or diesel size. Spent over $20K in repairs in one year for the problems that truck had. Sold it and bought a Cummins Ram truck. I think Ford has started to get it together more consistently with their diesel engines as of late though.
@@gpenrod5221 Ford 6.0 diesel was the worst engine they ever put in an ambulance. We probably spent that much at several different Ford dealers but no one could ever get it right. Eventually they had to recall all emergency vehicles with those engines.
Apparently, you missed the part where it was about trucks with an engine. I've never seen a dodge make it past 150k with a 100% original body or working transmission
Having owned about half of these engines. I have to say without a doubt that the 300 Ford is the most efficient, simplistic engine of all of them. I can only say that the inline 6 cylinder from all the Big 3, were great motors. The reason they stopped producing inline sixes was because they ran forever, and they didn’t want people to have them. I owned all three and I have to say the Ford was the most reliable.
Best comentator ever. 300 Ford was in my first truck,way outlasting the body. My 5.9 Cummins is still putting out big power and so reliable. Great show.
My 4.3 is 31 years old. Just replaced the original water pump and alternator last month. It only has only 92,000 on it. The truck is rust free and seat is still almost like new. It was garage kept all its life. A simple WT single cab, no air with roll up windows. Brand new was $9,400. I paid $7500 for it 2 year ago with 81,000 on it. It has a few dents on the inside of the bed but the out side is like new. I ran a magnet over it before I bought it and it's all real rust free. I bought a new 92 4.3 manual WT and hauled a construction trailer with it for 289,000 miles and then traded it.
4.0 HO straight 6 engine in the Jeep Cherokee I had yrs back was a BEAST. It ran forever... it outlasted the rest of the vehicle... miss that ol country edition jeep cherokee... drove it bk n frth from NC to TX to FL, TN and bk to NC, several times. Never had an issue except an o2 sensor I replaced in a parking lot in Louisiana somewhere & hopped bk on the road.
Found article that shows factory pan doesn't drain all the oil. A banks oil pan gets the used oil out. On factory oil pan you retain about one quart of used oil at oil change.
These are trouble free engines. Most of them did not have variable displacement or variable-cam features. GM engines with those features deserve the grief that has been thrown their way, but the 4.8 LS motors (mostly) didn't have it.
What about the venerable Chrysler 225 slant 6? I personally put 400,000 miles on mine before the body rusted out from under it. It was in a D-100 1971 pickup.
The 7.3 powerstroke came out in 1995 I had one and I still own my 2000 F350 4wd drw powerstroke with 6 speed manual it's now a plow truck. My 2019 F350 4wd lariat ultimate crew with the 6.7 powerstroke is a good runner I hope it has the longevity of the 7.3 powerstroke
Mine just went in for a rebuild at 509,000 miles. Regular oil changes and lots of maintenance over the years, but she was a smokin pretty good. Tore it down and had one piston with excessive play. Still worth a rebuild over this new stuff
Owned a 2000 Dodge ram with a 5.2. Gave it to my grand son who still uses it as a daily driver. 474,000 miles . 2001 with a 5.9 which I gave to my grand daughter. Still running fine with 360,000. Those engines are bullet proof. When I was a young man ( I'm 79 ) I owned a couple of slant sixes which were also practically indestructible. Wish they still built quality like that.
I had a customer bring in a chrysler in line 6 and a AMC in line 6 to my machine shop so I took the crank and rods out of the mopar put them in the AMC block with new Amc pistons and made a 4.6L and it was rather peppy. He said he read it in a magazine and by god it worked perfectly
@@edpetrocelli2633 Lots of people have done that. The reason it works is the 4.0 is not a Chrysler engine; it is an AMC just like the 258 you took the rods and crank out of. Just a shorter stroke and larger bore than the 258.
@@Possumliving That was the first and last one I did, I did it a long time ago, the results were nice but not as good as the 304 amc jeep I used to own in the 80`s
My 2002 F350 single rear wheel, super cab, short bed, 4X4, 7.3 has only 159k miles. I only drive around 5k miles or less a year. I’m 64, if I live another 20 years, it will have 259k, just broke her in for the next guy.
You missed out on at least one other engine that has piled on a million miles and more before needing any work. The Earlier Dodge 5.9 liter Cummins. I personally know of owners that have surpassed a million miles with these engines. My '93 Dodge Cummins has 600,000 miles and still purrs like a Tomcat in a creamery. Good fuel mileage also. With no load, I easily get 25 miles to the gallon if I set my cruise at 60 miles an hour. And ofcourse the Chrysler slant six engine is missing from this list. These engines have gone easily 300,000 miles and more without needing any work.
1986 Tacoma SR5 w 2.4 and 5 speed transmission....530K miles. I sold it for more than I paid for it. Great truck. Have a Gen1 and Gent 2 Taco (4 cyl.s) and they too are good trucks
Damn right. The slant 6 is one of the best ever made. I always fantasied having the "other half of the engine". Just to see what it would do in a V-12 iteration.
I have a '78 620 Datsun with a L20 that has over 400,000 miles and still runs really strong. It's my wife's daily driver and she just loves that little truck!
I would choose the Mopar 5.2L/5.9lL V8s. and another thing is the Mopar 5.2/5.9 Magnum V8s were not a deep skirt block. they had the same skirt design as the Mopar small block A/LA engines.
People would carry in a set of 5.9 dodge magnum cylinder heads and I’d tell them that they’re cracked before even checking them. I was 95% correct. They were notorious for cracking in between the valve seats. We sold a lot of cores. $500.00 for a set and then $150.00 for the valve job. Cleaned, valve job, new valve seals, painted, and surfaced.
@@MarkBiggs-h1q; for those of us who have owned Chryslers, Dodges, and Plymouth. when we talk about our classic Chrysler Dodge or Plymouth, we called them Mopars because Mopar is the performance division also known as Direct Connection of Chrysler.
@@StainlessTIG2; if you notice I said that I chose the 5.2L/5.9L which are the LA blocks not the Magnum. even though they are base off of the LA blocks, they were not called an LA block in 94 they were called the Magnum block. the 5.2L LA blocks, and the 5.2L Magnum blocks use the same bore, and stoke which was a 3.91"x3.31". the 5.9L LA blocks, and the 5.9L Magnum blocks use the same bore, and stroke which was 4.00"x3.58". in the mid to late 80s the LA blocks got the hydraulic roller cams.
Probability not as good as some on this list but my 2007 dodge Hemi 5.7L is still running with 307k miles. I have been very hard on this truck with over 1k offroad miles and pulled stuff i shouldn't have. A solid engine, however i have put in work on the rest of the truck.

FORD 300 6 all day long Hands-down.
That's a great engine and I've owned 2 of them. I curse the day I sold my 1984 F-250 with the big six and 4-spd. manual trans. I used it in many ways from hauling a ton of
wood pellets, gravel, sand, soil, firewood, bark dust, a couple of household moves, and the occasional appliance home from the stores. It's 4WD was very dependable and
in 1st gear and 4WD I used it to help remove a tree stump from my daughter's front yard. In spite of all this work, this engine never complained or balked at getting the job
done, whatever it might be. Maintenance was very simple and I did all of that in my own driveway and garage. It got 16-17 mpg, which was about 30% better than a lot of
F-250s with the V-8 engines. It was an amazing truck and I always regretted Ford not continuing to develop this engine. I can only imagine how good it would have been
with a 4-valve per cylinder aluminum head, fuel injection, headers, hi-performance ignition, and a turbo on it. I've seen pics of a few Ford 300s with a turbo and it really
wakes the old girl up. The low end torque was pretty amazing, even without those add-ons.
I like the way they said it is simple with only 7 main bearings, lol,, it is a 6 cylinder after all.
@@edb3877 I have a 93 F150 with the inline 6 motor. One day the brake line started to leak, so I put it off to the side, and never drove it again.I offered it to my brother in law, and he wanted to pick it up and use it. Year after year he said he wanted it. Much later, he decided he didn't want it. Sooooo, I still have it, and it's parked under a tree, and have been there for years. Poor thing. I just don't have time for it, and it just needs a brake line. Runs great when I parked it.
I had a 4.9 lt 300 ci Ford in my little Ford f150 4x4 truck when I gave it away it had 720 thousand miles and was still gunning strong I don't know how many more miles it could have done because the man I gave it to did a rebuild on it the transmission in the same truck I had to have it rebuilt 5 times and rebuilt transfer case 1 time but that 300 was a work horse and never left me in the back woods
I bought a 1980 Ford F-150 shortbed at an estate auction 7 years ago because it has the 300 inline 6 cylinder. It also had 72,454 miles on it, undercoat, original paint. Garage kept. You never know what you might bring home from an auction.
I would go back to my younger days, and say that the Mopar slant 6 and the Mopar 318 should be on this list. And, no engine using a timing belt should be on this list. Worst idea ever to replace the timing chain with a belt.
Timing belts are easy maintenance. Plus with some manufacturers using lightweight single roller aluminum timing chains the belt so much more reliable. Plus they didn't say the 5.9 V8 is based on the design of the 318/ 5.2 V8. Plus the 3.9 V6 has the same bulletproof design
Toyota 4.7 DOHC 2UZFE Best Ever
I've heard the slant 6 was a good engine. I had a 1972 318 and my parents had a 1973 318. Both were crap. If there was a rain cloud in sight you better not pull out in traffic because it would stall, and you'd get plowed.
slant 6 is the best motor ever made.
@@NotACrat 2uzfe- nope. timing belt is a major issue. Sure it would go 400K miles, but it requires expensive maintenance. it also had a bad and very expensive to replace AIR pump.
I have 2 Toyota pickups, 1986 and 87. Both have 22R engines and they are my every day drivers. Combined over 500k miles. I ran into a guy at O'Reilly's one day and he had a 85. Said he had over 900k on his, but had replaced the bed 3 times from rust.
They're called HiLux. "Pickup" is the lazy name. Just like the "Van" is the TownAce. I own the latter.
@@PrimericanIdol Right. Whenever I tell someone it's a Hilux, they're like, "a what?"
I had a 1982 Toyota 4x4 long bed with the 22R engine in it. It didn't have enough power to get out of its own way, but wow, was it reliable. 250k on the clock when the salted roads finally took their toll on the frame. Man, I miss that truck.
I have a 93 with the Toyota 2.4 L diesel version. Think I can drive it 30 more years.
I put the turbo off my Cummins on my stock turbo fuel injected 22r from a 4runner in a 2 wheel drive Tacoma and got 600rwhp😅
I have a 2004 Ford Ranger XLT. I bought it from my grandpa years ago. He always kept up with the maintenance and everything, as did I when I bought it from him. Looks absolutely mint. It has 314,560 miles on it and still going strong. A lesson that he taught me, he would always say was, "If you take care of your car, it will take car of you". 💯

Only if you replace the killer dowel pin. Otherwise it's a waiting game to see if the timing cover self destructs and takes the rest of the engine with it.
The Ford 300 cubic inch six-cylinder end is unstoppable. I managed truck fleets for many years, these were amazing. The other thing about this motor is its smoothness. In-line six-cylinder engines have an inherent perfect balance due to an equal firing pattern. That along with the seven main bearing crank makes these engines smoother running than any four, V-6, or V-8 engine. I bought a 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat brand-new. It was loaded, but had this six, and a 5-speed manual transmission. I loved that truck.
It's amazing how many UPS trucks ran a 300 6.
I had three or four vehicles and forgot to check my oil on my F100 big 6 ! Didn’t have a teaspoon of oil in it! Put oil in it and it still runs that was about twenty five years ago 🤔
My dad bought a 1990 f-150 xlt lariat new with the 300 and zf5 in the single cab short bed variant in alpine green and single tank with auto 4x4. I wish I could’ve seen that truck run he parked it before I was born and it’s got something like 320k on it. But it’s been sitting for roughly 20 years because he just let it go, makes me so mad sometimes I go out and sit in it in the front yard and imagine how nice of a truck it could’ve been

Almost ANY inline 6 will last a long long time due to their almost perfect symmetry while running, they have a natural balance that is unmatched. I hated when Jeep (I know it ain't really Jeep, but, Stellantis) switched that out for the v6 pentastar. What a hunk of crap those engines are.

Age is what's going to take a serious toll and take a lot of those trucks off the road. In the rust belt those trucks are all rusted and usually completely rotted and everywhere else the trucks are becoming clapped and need everything, not to mention when these trucks become high mileage mysterious electrical issues start to happen due to fatigued/chafed wiring and the PCMs are starting to become common to fail as well, not to mention the auto trans those trucks used typically only last around 150-200k so at 400k it's probably on its 2nd or 3rd trans and replacements are becoming hard to find and expensive. They are good trucks but their time is running out as age piles on.
@@briang4470 I have a Ford 6.0, and agree with you. I have the manual, but rust, parts, and phantom electrical issues will eventually get them all. Have fun
Keep doing the maintenance and fix any little issues when they crop up and it’ll go for a long time. I just took my 96 7.3 down for a rebuild as she was smoking pretty good. Found worn rings and excessive play in one piston. Otherwise you could still see the crosshatching on the cylinder walls and absolutely no sludge in the engine whatsoever.

Yes the 1994.5-1995 was the 1st gen 7.3 powerstroke. it had a 2 piece front cover and 8 bolt intake at 2 quick ways to tell what year the engine is. then the 96-97 like mine have a 1 piece and have the 8 bolt like the super dutys. also in stock form these do not have an air to air cooler and have a 15 degree hpop then E99 was a year of its own. ive never messed with one but i know on the truck bodies the v8 powerstroke emblem is on the fender directy behind the head light/running light assembly. then L99-March
of 2001 was the next generation (3rd gen) 7.3 powerstroke it had the air to air cooler the wiring harness was changed to accomindate the glow plug and starter relays both ontop of the engine mounting to the pass inner head. and they went to the split shot injectors. for reduced noise and easier starting. they still offered the forged internal
rods tho. the March 01-March of 03 they change the internal rods to PMR rods. the 17 degree hpop was also introduced in the E99-03 generations 7.3s as well. there are also a few other variates that can be noticed upon inspections of these trucks/suvs as well. ive had a few and like them.

Mine also, I'm fixing to replace the leaking fuel pump and oil cooler gasket.👍
I have a 1971 F250 Explorer Camper Special with a 390cid that is still going strong, and it has never been apart....
My '71 F250 Explorer with the 390 has just over 750,000 miles on it. Needs to have the cylinder heads redone for the third time, but a valve grind is not all that hard to do. OK, yeah. I lied. It was rebuilt with 601k miles on it.
390 is a very good engine!
The best Motor Toyota ever came out with for reliability and durability is the 22RE .☝🏽👍🏼
except the timing chain set up....
The 22r doesn't have the timing chain guide problems of the 22re. Pre 1983 had dual row chains with metal guides. 1984 went to plastic guides and single row chain. Guides are weak and will break. I just installed the LCE dual chain kit for my 85 4runner.
22RE so gutless it couldn't wear anything out. had an 82, it was embarrassing pulling a grade.
Yeah, it’s hard to break things with 80hp 🤣
The 2.7's aren't too far behind
My 2000 Chevy 3500 has a 5.7 with 503,519 miles, still runs super strong on all 8
The 7.3 Power Stroke. Was from (intercooler) 1999 to 2002, optional in 2003. I have an 2002 F250 4X4. Love that engine.
Cummins diesel is the best 5.9 12 valve and the 6.7 owned two of them the best engine I’ve ever seen out of all of them
The Toyota 3.0 V6 was a pile of junk,could not keep headgaskets and water pumps in them
But the 3.4 is a gem.
I have 3.0L 1mz-fe Sienna van never had a problem with it just timing belt replacement and radiator tranny is perfect with Aisin brand. I also have a 5VZ-fe just as reliable 2000 Prerunner with Aisin tranny as well.
change your timing belt so it stops overheating and your head gaskets will last....
@@gcam12000 This one was in the trucks
@@Onemanstrash1 Not because of that,bad design
You left off the Ford 390. Fabulous puller & long lasting mill.
They also left off the 351 Cleveland. My dad had one in a ranchero stock 2 barrel carb. It would do 130.
@@rickchapman9232 Those 4 valve C's were king of the road for a while.
Got that 390 in my 68 F-250. Just wish I could afford the pain at the pump when it gets around 10 mpg!
Yep mine got 10 mpg no matter how I drove it. 1968 F250. Loved that truck. Was a manual
2.5L iron duke is good. My 89 s10 is still running. Don't smoke or leak oil. 217k. It's NOT a hotrod, but keeps running.
2000 tacoma v6. Was my Dad’s truck. Had to change radiator, rack and pinion, power steering pump, battery, timing belt, fuel filter, intake boot or hose, shocks struts tires, plug wires, and now have a good work truck @332000 looking for more and i dont baby it. Pound the streets of Atlanta. My first toyota. I love my big Chevys but im impressed.
The Ford 5.4 Triton would be a pick for me. Bought a 1998 Expedition with that motor changed the oil every 3,000 miles, and spark plugs four times, an alternator once and the battery twice in the 297,000 miles I had it. Was still running strong when I sold it in 2012.
Forgot the Toyota 4.7L V8. Million mile motors.
He forgot a lot of good engines, but the 4.7 is a beast for sure.
4.7 and 5.6...outlast everything in this list
All day💯
my 2000 Tundra had the 4.7 with 570,000 km on it. it was used as a work truck for most of its life often hauling a 16' flat deck trailer or stuff in the box. Amazingly i could drive it 15,000km between oil changes and never had a worry about the oil level as there was near zero oil consumption even at 575,000km! I swear it had more power than when new. It really woke when i installed some Bosch quad 4 spark plugs which i see were discontinued.
Toyota trucks all day long. 1 million miles.
Had the chevy 4.3 with over 300000 miles. Hated the spider injection though. Also had the ford 300 straight 6 in a 1990 f150. I miss that truck
I have three 4.3 vortex in my shop where the counter shaft is sticking outside the block. I haven't dismantled yet, so I'm not sure what caused them to grenade. One came out of a1/2 ton two were in blazers/Jimmy
7.3 powerstroke I believe was a international motor 🤔🇺🇲
you are correct, is IH
Navistar International design. It was labelled Powerstroke for Ford products and Maxxforce7 in International trucks.
I have a 94 F350 7.3L IDI that is a Navistar engine.
@@beno.9958 factory turbo or naturally aspirated? Either way, they were some of the best IDIs.
@@JDKline Factory Turbo. Less than 100K miles.
I own and drive a Dodge Dakota, 2003, with a 3.9 V6, it has over 300,000 and still runs as smooth as when I first drove it off the dealers lot !
A long as you got the later double roller timing chain ones, they were great. Rough, but great.
24v 6.7L Cummins shoulda came in 3rd, 5.9 Cummins should come in first knowing they went over a million miles no problem
It costs three times as much and sounds like what it is a small diesel or ass
Cummins is a heavy duty engine used in thousands of highway semis for many years. It shouldn’t actually even be on this list since Cummins is not owned by dodge. It’s a commercial truck engine available in many applications.
@@Localtruthspeakeryou correct, I don't know why these Mopar Fiat fans think it's something special about Dodge, Dodge always been trash, Cummings gets this credit
@@BruceDragon-sf1tr absolutely.
@@Localtruthspeaker The semi trucks have a larger Cummins that weighs over 2,000 lbs and won't even fit in a pickup. The Cummins B motor was originally a tractor motor; you will find them in especially Case tractors and log skidders. Later they put them in medium trucks and school buses. There was also a 3.9l 4 cylinder B motor that was in delivery vans and such.
My 1993 GMC Sierra 5.7 has 367,000 and is still running strong.
Where is the Cummins 5.9 ? Especially the later versions of it. That motor is bulletproof. 😊
They also didn't mention that the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins are also found in the over 2 ton Ford Trucks as well. Ford owns a large part of Cummins and rumor has it they wanted to quit selling Cummins to Dodge/Ram to stifle competition. However they were bound by contract to sell them so it continues (according to the stories I hear which are all hearsay not based on any solid facts that I know of). Ford struggled a lot with their diesel engines over the years. I had a a friend who once owned a Ford, not sure the year or diesel size. Spent over $20K in repairs in one year for the problems that truck had. Sold it and bought a Cummins Ram truck. I think Ford has started to get it together more consistently with their diesel engines as of late though.
@@gpenrod5221 Ford 6.0 diesel was the worst engine they ever put in an ambulance. We probably spent that much at several different Ford dealers but no one could ever get it right. Eventually they had to recall all emergency vehicles with those engines.
I had one and totally agree!!
@@Skymedc There is a reason they were called the 6.Oh!
Apparently, you missed the part where it was about trucks with an engine. I've never seen a dodge make it past 150k with a 100% original body or working transmission
You forgot to mention Fords, 460 big block. A power house. I have a 1989 F350 4x4. I have pulled out dodges and chebies😅
Having owned about half of these engines. I have to say without a doubt that the 300 Ford is the most efficient, simplistic engine of all of them. I can only say that the inline 6 cylinder from all the Big 3, were great motors.
The reason they stopped producing inline sixes was because they ran forever, and they didn’t want people to have them. I owned all three and I have to say the Ford was the most reliable.
All the low RPM straight six engines run forever.
Purdy much. Long stroke low compression ratio make em last nearly forever.
They just leak all over your garage.
My old beat up 67 Mustang only needed gas every now and then. No oil no oil changes could not kill it
Best comentator ever. 300 Ford was in my first truck,way outlasting the body. My 5.9 Cummins is still putting out big power and so reliable. Great show.
Tons of inaccuracies. Total ai rube!
@@martinehrlich3908 Rube indeed! Well done!
My 4.3 Chevy Silverado is 22 years old. I replaced the water pump and a/c compressor. That's it. It burns no oil. I maintain it properly, that's all.
My 4.3 is 31 years old. Just replaced the original water pump and alternator last month. It only has only 92,000 on it. The truck is rust free and seat is still almost like new. It was garage kept all its life. A simple WT single cab, no air with roll up windows. Brand new was $9,400. I paid $7500 for it 2 year ago with 81,000 on it. It has a few dents on the inside of the bed but the out side is like new. I ran a magnet over it before I bought it and it's all real rust free. I bought a new 92 4.3 manual WT and hauled a construction trailer with it for 289,000 miles and then traded it.
277k 20yrs and still have not touched the engine, transmission or exhaust 😊
4.0 HO straight 6 engine in the Jeep Cherokee I had yrs back was a BEAST. It ran forever... it outlasted the rest of the vehicle... miss that ol country edition jeep cherokee... drove it bk n frth from NC to TX to FL, TN and bk to NC, several times. Never had an issue except an o2 sensor I replaced in a parking lot in Louisiana somewhere & hopped bk on the road.
Yes! I was glad to see my 6.6 duramax on the list . Absolutely love the motor and Allison transmission combo 💪
Found article that shows factory pan doesn't drain all the oil. A banks oil pan gets the used oil out. On factory oil pan you retain about one quart of used oil at oil change.
My gmc 4.8L just turned 510,000 and still a daily champion
These are trouble free engines. Most of them did not have variable displacement or variable-cam features. GM engines with those features deserve the grief that has been thrown their way, but the 4.8 LS motors (mostly) didn't have it.
my 08 gmc 4.8l 495k original head gaskets never open i got it with 900 miles
What about the venerable Chrysler 225 slant 6? I personally put 400,000 miles on mine before the body rusted out from under it. It was in a D-100 1971 pickup.
the best
The 7.3 diesel from Ford is indescribable.
Nailed it
The 7.3 powerstroke came out in 1995 I had one and I still own my 2000 F350 4wd drw powerstroke with 6 speed manual it's now a plow truck. My 2019 F350 4wd lariat ultimate crew with the 6.7 powerstroke is a good runner I hope it has the longevity of the 7.3 powerstroke
I would put my 24 valve Cummings against your 7.3 power choke any day at a truck pull ill hook u bumper to bumper title for title any day
Mine just went in for a rebuild at 509,000 miles. Regular oil changes and lots of maintenance over the years, but she was a smokin pretty good. Tore it down and had one piston with excessive play. Still worth a rebuild over this new stuff
Cummings?@@Richieclong
Owned a 2000 Dodge ram with a 5.2. Gave it to my grand son who still uses it as a daily driver. 474,000 miles . 2001 with a 5.9 which I gave to my grand daughter. Still running fine with 360,000. Those engines are bullet proof. When I was a young man ( I'm 79 ) I owned a couple of slant sixes which were also practically indestructible. Wish they still built quality like that.
My 1996 truck with the 5.9 just turned 300k.
Get this.... My 1989 van with the 5.2 just turned 120k. 😃
Ford's 300 6 with "only" 7 main bearings. Those 7 mains give it almost bulletproof strength.
Jeep 4.0l ,abuse it all you want and just keeps going.
Definitely should be on list.
But electronic sensors on throttle body, etc are crap.
I had a customer bring in a chrysler in line 6 and a AMC in line 6 to my machine shop so I took the crank and rods out of the mopar put them in the AMC block with new Amc pistons and made a 4.6L and it was rather peppy. He said he read it in a magazine and by god it worked perfectly
So true
@@edpetrocelli2633 Lots of people have done that. The reason it works is the 4.0 is not a Chrysler engine; it is an AMC just like the 258 you took the rods and crank out of. Just a shorter stroke and larger bore than the 258.
@@Possumliving That was the first and last one I did, I did it a long time ago, the results were nice but not as good as the 304 amc jeep I used to own in the 80`s

5.7 and 4.6 Toyotas are definitely more dependable than several on this list, but I agree with most on here.
My tundra (2007) with a 5.7 is AMAZING !!! Except for the 13mpg - But ill take it
Mopar 4.0 incline 6 just dont die. Horrible gas mileage but bullet proof.
You missed out on at least one other engine that has piled on a million miles and more before needing any work. The Earlier Dodge 5.9 liter Cummins. I personally know of owners that have surpassed a million miles with these engines. My '93 Dodge Cummins has 600,000 miles and still purrs like a Tomcat in a creamery. Good fuel mileage also. With no load, I easily get 25 miles to the gallon if I set my cruise at 60 miles an hour. And ofcourse the Chrysler slant six engine is missing from this list. These engines have gone easily 300,000 miles and more without needing any work.
It to bad the Chevy truck body doesn’t last as long as the engine lol 😂
Replacement panels are still available from LMC trucks, a magazine sales resource. I get all my parts from them, and they're great to deal with.
Nor the Ford or Dodge
Especially in Wisconsin.
What one does?

I would choose the Mopar 5.2L/5.9lL V8s. and another thing is the Mopar 5.2/5.9 Magnum V8s were not a deep skirt block. they had the same skirt design as the Mopar small block A/LA engines.
Mopar no car bro
People would carry in a set of 5.9 dodge magnum cylinder heads and I’d tell them that they’re cracked before even checking them. I was 95% correct. They were notorious for cracking in between the valve seats. We sold a lot of cores. $500.00 for a set and then $150.00 for the valve job. Cleaned, valve job, new valve seals, painted, and surfaced.
Love my 99 dakota 3.9. 308k now and only issues have been water pumps. 5 to be exact. Bought it new
@@MarkBiggs-h1q; for those of us who have owned Chryslers, Dodges, and Plymouth. when we talk about our classic Chrysler Dodge or Plymouth, we called them Mopars because Mopar is the performance division also known as Direct Connection of Chrysler.
@@StainlessTIG2; if you notice I said that I chose the 5.2L/5.9L which are the LA blocks not the Magnum. even though they are base off of the LA blocks, they were not called an LA block in 94 they were called the Magnum block. the 5.2L LA blocks, and the 5.2L Magnum blocks use the same bore, and stoke which was a 3.91"x3.31". the 5.9L LA blocks, and the 5.9L Magnum blocks use the same bore, and stroke which was 4.00"x3.58". in the mid to late 80s the LA blocks got the hydraulic roller cams.
Just got to 360.000 miles on my 01 Ford V10, which runs like it did when I bought it new in 02.
