@@waynehenderson6670 they were good, the older squarebox design was a better truck though - I’ve had both and currently a gmt800, they are all great trucks
I agree, they truly are a timeless design, and it doesn't hurt that they are some of the most reliable trucks ever built. My dad's '90 c1500 has over 670k mi on the original throttle body injected 350. The valve covers have never even been off of it. He always used Castrol GTX and changed it every 3-5k mi. He jokes ghat with only ~200hp from the factory, the engine doesn't have enough power to hurt itself 😂. But she's a torquey sum bitch.
I have 2 Dodge 1st Gen Cummins and have never rebuilt the transmissions. One truck has 400,000+ and the other has 160,000+. Any transmission will fail when abused and not maintained. By the way, these are work trucks and daily drivers.
I had 2 different Ford pickups with the 300 inline 6, an 81 F100 with a granny 4 speed, top speed...82 mph, that was bulletproof, bought it with 280,000 miles on it. Drove it 4 years, sold it with 350,000 miles, guy that bought it drove it 5 years to work everyday put another 80,000 miles on it. Hit a cow one morning going to work in the fog. I believe that motor would've ran forever.
By far, my favorite truck is still the 1988-1998 GM fullsize Chevy trucks. I have a 1991 extended cab 2wd and with 331,000 miles it still runs and looks like a gem! Never replaced or rebuilt the old 350 5.7L engine (although the rear main seal has a few drips coming out but doesn't use much oil between oil changes), but had to rebuild the transmission 24 years ago. All the options including the A/C, power windows/locks, and cruise control works. I live in the "rust belt" and have not driven the truck in the winter time for 21 winters in the road salt. The body is immaculate and rust free. If you can keep the rust bug away and take care these trucks, they will run forever with few issues. I intend on keeping mine and never selling it.
Our Daily Driver is a 1995 GMC 1500 small block V8 w / 320 k mileage and growing on original motor and still going , rebuilt tranny a few yrs ago , replaced water pump , about it besides routine maintenance , oil changes , etc .- paid $1500 for it nearly 10 yrs ago, when engine goes , will likely drop a junkyard motor in it and keep on trucking ! I like my trucks PAID for with no expensive electronics and fancy gizmos to break , and we use it as a TRUCK , mud on out boots , mud on our tires . Driven this truck all over the USA hauling all sorts of loads , trailers , camper, boats , you name it . Hell you can't even but a REAL work truck anymore if you wanted to it seems .
With that TBI 350 you could probably get a shop to rebuild it and do a mile build and have a little fun with it also. They are very much alike to the old carbureted 350 which makes the parts cheap and quite reliable. I have 331,000 miles on my 350 in a 1991 Chevy C1500 and apart from a few drips coming out of the rear main seal on the engine, doesn't use much oil, never have to add between oil changes which are 5,000 mile changes and runs like a champ. If you do the regular maintenance on it, chances are you won't need to do an engine swap on it.
Yeah but it didn’t have the “quit” feature that many others had when they rolled off the line. Not as comparable to the ranger but still a solid truck that would get things done. I prefer the ranger especially the dual spark variant though.
@Donutbagel113 the small block dodges are pretty good engines imo, if they're maintained half-ass decent they'll last 250k easily, I've seen on some of the old ram forums, people have gotten 350 to 400k from a 318 magnum
Do you know what “reliable” means? Lol. If it always starts, and keeps running with reasonable maintenance, than it is “reliable.” It isn’t a list of the most powerful trucks, or trucks with the most torque. I’ve had a few friends & family with old 80’s or 90’s S10’s, and they just don’t die. They keep running. The 4.3L, though lacking in power, was a very dependable motor. And I say that as a diehard ford truck guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a cheap S10 or little blazer if I needed a beater. My grandma had one for 15 years, never needed a serious repair. Just a couple of electrical gremlins and stuff like that. My brother also had one for years, and barely maintained it, when he had no money, and it never gave him a problem. He drove it and it ran great until he totaled it.
I had my first bought new truck. 1987 Jeep Comanche 4 cyl Renaualt 2.5 4 speed 2 wheel drive Sold it at 290,K miles Was still running Dodge bought Jeep and couldn't have the Jeep being better than the Dakota
1992 did not have a power stroke it was still the 7.3 IDI diesel it wasnt untill 1994 that ford went to the Navistar sourced T444/Power Stroke V8 diesel
The GMT800 99-07's are some of the best trucks ever made. They will easily reach 500k with proper maintenance. Plenty of power, easy to work on, comfortable and one of the best looking trucks. It's simple styling kept them looking original. Sorry to all you Toyota fanboys but your Tundra will never be as reliable as this one.
It's the BEST modern pickup 🛻 truck made , the gmt 800 99'-2006 V8 ,5.3 and 4.8 V8'S,,, Toyota tundra is the only one listed with better owner ratings ,
You ever have issues with the ABS brake system in your truck?? My 2006 Silverado in the past gave me grief and now 4 1/2 years later is yet again. The pump assemblies are notorious for having issues. And, of course, GM discontinued all the ABS parts except the wheel sensors. GM was the only place to buy new pump assemblies. These days, you can find remanufactured ABS computers, but nobody except junk yards used have the pump assembly.
@LoriTobin-z8d No. But I did have to have the front end rebuilt recently. Tie rods and such, just wear items but the truck has 122,000 on it. You know general maintenance stuff. The a/c blower sensor has gone out a couple of times but that's a common issue with these trucks. It could use a paint job and I'd love a new one but man, their just too damn expensive anymore. Their trucks not luxury vehicles. Nothing better than a reliable vehicle that's paid for.
There should be no Sonomas or S10s above the Rangers for any year. There's more Rangers (pre-2011) on the road than S10s, Sonomas, Dakotas, Tacomas, Frontiers, etc than any other small truck.
Chevy 292, Ford 300,chevy small block v8.dodge 218 Cummins 5.9 12v or 24v. Vw 1600 Ford flat head v8. Studebaker 6cyl. Ford model t or a. Chevy 235 6cyl.
The K20 Chevrolet didn't come from the factory with 4 wheel drive in 1960, they were all Napco conversions until the late 60s. Dodge had the only factory 4x4 trucks in the early to mid 60s.
It depends on how it was equipped. I had a 86 S10 Blazer 4x4 with 2.8l automatic and 4.10 ratio that got 15 mpg city and highway, but later I got a 91 S10 Blazer 4x4 with 4.3l 5-speed manual with 3.42 ratio that got about 18mpg city and 23-25 mpg highway. The 2.8 barely got better mileage than my old 1970 c10, but the 4.3 with the 5 speed and high drive ratio got as good mileage as even my 2010 Ford Fusion 3.0 gets.

Any year Ford with the 300 inline six should have been on this list somewhere. They set the standard for reliability.
So true. They were bulletproof. I owned 3 Ford trucks with the 300 back in the day. Ran them all to 200 thousand miles and more with no issues.
Yep, my 93 F150 w/300 I6 is by far the most reliable truck I’ve ever had - still runs strong 440K and counting

Not a single thing said about reliability. It's a list of notable trucks.
Be thankful when you don't know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
The GMT400 is, imo, the best looking truck since the sixties, especially today.

Don’t you mean since the nineties
No Dodge from the 90s or 20s should have been on any list of reliability. Replacing the transmission every 70k miles as "regular" maintenance is wild.
Really, I have three Dodges, only one had the transmission rebuilt,
at 125,000 miles, it now has 220,000 miles, still going with the original engine.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
The mid 70s ford pickups and Broncos were some of the most over built trucks ever made but were evidently missed by this author.
Half these trucks could have been on the least reliable ever made. The Chevy S-10??? You had to turn the a/c off just to climb a moderate hill😂😂😂
