Both the regular Chevy Silverado and the 4 cylinder version are combined together in this video for trucks that won't make it to 100,000 miles,
that's why it's 5 trucks in the title and only 4 sections mentioned in the video

I wouldn’t even buy iT!! Unless its a Toyota tundra!!
Scotty Kilmer finally a video without the celica ! It's nice that you like it but if you mention it in every video it gets monotone ! Mention it but not that often , that will make your videos way more interesting
Scotty kilmer In Australia we have a Holden/cev Colorado it's a 4cyl turbo diesel and they can tow 3.5 tone and they are a very good car for towing and overall driving, not all 4 cylinder utes are that bad in my opinion
Chevy makes the best trucks everyone knows it.
The 4 cylinder Chevy is a turbo all they did was traded off the 2 cylinder for the turbo. I've been noticing alot of manufacturers doing that. Like Nissan they got rid of the v6 option for the Altima and made a 4 cylinder turbo. All in all I think all these turbo vehicles are gonna fail sooner to keep people buying new cars every 4 years or so since quality has gone down hill across the board, and manufacturers only care about is profits. Not all are bad, some are better then others.
*The Scotty Kilmer channel checklist, one of these quotes has to be in the video otherwise it isn't legit;*
1.) "They are endless money pits (as they age)"
2.) "Buy a Toyota....."
3.) "When Fiat bought Chrysler...⚠️"
4.) "When Renault merged with Nissan..⚠️"
5.) "These are garbage..."
6.) "Zippy little sports cars.."
7.) "Honda started out as a motorcycle company..."
8.) "These CVT's are notorious for breaking down..."
9.) "Change your oil every ... thousand miles (regardless of what they say)"
10.) "It's cheaper to make them this way..."
11.) "Honda makes weak automatic transmissions"
12.) "GM's quality (control) is going down..."
13.) "I'm not a fan of the...."
14.) "Back in the day when I was a young mechanic in the 60s..."
15.) "Never buy a car that was..."
16.) "....$ Is nothing for a car these days."
17.) "Drive it until the wheels fall off."
18.) "I'm cheap.."
19.) "They keep perfecting them for years and years..."
20.) "Try to find an (honest) mechanic like me..."
"I've been a mechanic for 51 years".
“Go with a standard transmission”
You forgot, "I've been working on cars for 51 years"
"With a fancy Scan Tool"
So he keeps on repeating what he says. Sounds like solid knowledge to me.
I didn't grow up working on cars and the most I ever saw my dad do was change the oil or a tire.
Now that I've started to pay attention to my car these videos are really helping me make up for lost time.
All companies are going cheap on everything but the price is going really high then your putting a lot more in repairs
Even those of us Scotty included still learn new things every day. Learn all you can to save yourself some money and get educated to.
Jamie Todd if you’re still learning don’t watch these guys videos they’re stupid and not helpful man just leave this crap
@@LSXperts72 I have firsthand experience that proves they _are_ helpful, so you are wrong.
true dat!!!! Same here! Well said!!!
My mechanic buddy says Dodge Rams are his favorite. Why? Because he makes more money on these trucks then any other.
p47rr i have 3 Rams, 2 of em are 1500’s and 1 2500, and guess what, with the proper maintenance they will last, and all three are over 150,000 miles now
Fabian Delgado yea my cousin says the same I do believe him he takes care of his 1500 loves that thing to death and she runs like a dream ive driven it... but anyways his is a 2013 so I guess he got it pre fiat problems
@@fabiandelgado7321 yep got 160k on the 2500 our 3500 540k sold it the guy is still driving it our new used 3500 has 240k on it pulls a 25 ft 10ton trailer every day of it's life
I worked for a company and we had 2 ram 2500s an 1 3500. They never saw the highway, drove in the same neighborhood doing yardwork and plowing. 2009, 11 and 13. None of them could go more than 3 months without needing work, starting the day they were bought. One had constant wiring harness issues and transmission programming problems, it went to the dealer twice a year for weeks at a time and just like he said they never fixed much, they let it sit for up to two weeks at a time just to punish us for sending it back. Once they said the trans was in limp mode because we installed rear axle air bags. The other two had tranny malfunctions requiring a tow within the first five years. All three had driveline issues constantly, mostly in the front end. They used wheel bearings, axle hubs and steering system components at insane rates and every single job took twice as long as it should. The two fords we had that were 2003 and 2007 needed shop time at probably one tenth of the rate until the 03 was about 13 years old when it started to really age and even then it was half of what the dodges saw. All the trucks had the same use and upkeep. They guys I worked with that ran their own rams all got rid of them, except for one who could afford to buy new, for other brands because they were dealing the same things. Not trustworthy, no support.

I’ve never seen a mechanic that encourages people to buy better vehicles so that he has less business. What an awesome guy.
Have you ever seen him do an actual major repair on a vehicle ? All I've ever seen him do are simple driveway type repairs .
@@HowardJrFord If I remember correctly years ago he posted a video about him. If I remember correctly he worked for a shop owned by his father, then started his own mechanic shop that he ran for years. Then retired, sometime after he retired he started doing youtube videos. I think he wrote a book or 2 in the 90's on tips of buying cars.
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
He Is not in the busniess of fixing cars. He is in the busniess of making TH-cam videos
I had a 2002 dodge ram 1500 that truck had 289,000 miles on it when I traded it in and still had the factory transmission. The only problem I had was the fender rot that almost all dodges have. If you keep up on the fluid changes and all the other mateience and wash it on a regular basis then there should not be any issues.
In 2007, I bought a 2003 RAM 1500. I just rebuilt the original transmission at 247K miles, and the engine was rebuilt at 207K miles. I didn't have any rust problems, but maybe that is because I live in Nevada and the humidity is almost non-existent here.
I have heard many people bashing the 3rd Gen Dodge RAMs during the years, but in my experience, they will be dependable vehicles if you properly maintain them.
He just makes these videos to rile people up
My 2003 1500 had 279k miles on it. Only issue ever was the broken dash.
I’ve got a 2008 ram 1500 but so far all I’ve had to do is general maintenance and the brakes
I think back in the days, they were building them much stronger.
I own a 98 Chevy Silverado. It's a good truck. 230K miles. She runs strong and taken really good care of. The 88-98 chevy trucks were really good and reliable.
agreed..those were great years....350 and 4l60e transmissions and if i recall the body panels had extra corrosion protection..
I have a 1999 Tahoe still running strong
Andrew Schmitt Absolutely. Solid vehicles overall.
Im sure scotty would agree that the 88-98 trucks were/are awesome. My 94 and 95 have over 200k miles and still going hard. I think he lost faith in the new chevys which i get
Andrew Schmitt 99-02 tho
F.I.A.T. = FIX IT AGAIN TONY
Coiled Steel Fiat is older than Ford Fix Or Repair Daily Scotty can be dumb
Futile Italian Attempt at Transportation
F.O.R.D FIX OR REPAIR DAILY
@Ruben O. do you know what a ford is
@Ruben O. Yo the fact is every new truck that comes out from Ford Ram or Chevy, are reliable, and if they do break then YOU got unlucky.
IMO though RAM's look the best, sound the best, perform the best, and are the most reliable.
If YOU think otherwise then congratulations, because YOU just discovered opinions and if you want to prove ME wrong, then comment WITH FACTS from CREDIBLE SOURCES.
Does anybody else watch scotty's videos, eagerly waiting for the end, hoping he doesnt call out your car? Cant only be me 😂
I wouldn't listen to this channel if you do any research about his favorite brand ford you'll find that they blow engines around 30k miles like nothing and everyone knows about the exploders ive had 2 chevy suv's both well over 200k miles closer to 300k i blew one (user error) the other im still driving no problems
@@oldirtyguru7004 dont get all political. It was just a joke. We all know theres lemons and bad cars in every brand. Were all here with the same interest afterall
@@packers97100 political?? I'm just saying he doesn't fix cars he put band aids on serous problems shortcut fixes that will end up getting someone killed
@@packers97100 he's not a person to listen too
@@oldirtyguru7004 okay Karen, I wont listen to him
The best truck to buy it’s the 1994 Toyota Celica it goes over 3,000,000,000,000 miles without changing the oil
😂😂🤣🤣
Actually it's a car with a strange but cool body style
It's sad that they don't make it anymore.
@@charbelsassine3592 yeah
And the 234k miles on it isn't THAT great.
1992 Ford ranger STX 4.0L 300,000 miles and still running it doesn't want to die
Mine is motor knock when first start and oil fine
I have a 2000 4.0 that had 234,000 on it when I bought it. I knew it was going to need a new motor when I got it. The dumb person who had it before me neglected to change the oil. I'm sure it would still be running strong today if only they would have just changed the oil.
THATONE KIDISBACK got a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT with 135k miles and run's great.
97 Ranger 325,000. Still moving well.
Do a couple neutral drops should help!
I agree 100% with your thoughts on the 4 cylinder engine in a half ton truck. What the hell are you thinking Chevy?!
If you tow once a decade I can see them lasting. If you use your truck as a truck tho, who knows.
there no chance those engines wont be a problem right out of the gate. what even crazier it isnt the base engine, you actually have to pay extra for it...begging the question who is in the market for such a thing in the first place?
Nobody’s gonna buy that. If u buy a 1/2 ton pickup with a 4cyl engine, you can’t do truck things. U can’t haul, tow, etc. Too much strain on that POS. Now if it was a diesel, maybe ppl would buy it and it would be capable. Also, why would you want a yacht with a troll motor???
I am a HUGE Chevy fan and I also thought “what the hell are ya doing!!”
I got the 6.2L option in my 17 High Country best $2500 extra I spent
I didn't know that about the 2019 Rams... you might have saved me $35,000 worth of frustration.
I like my 2016 eco diesel but it has nothing but issues. I will be trading soon. I would avoid.
I have a 2015 hemi ram 1/2 ton outside of normal maintenance all I've had to do was replace the front struts. Truck currently has 105,000 miles.
Get a ford or Toyota for work they won’t give you issues. Chevy , Honda and Nissan for the street. Avoid Ram.
Trust me run while you can!!!!!
I have an 06 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. 235k rins like a charm
Saw a 2nd gen ram in the thumbnail and I was trigged LMAO.
haha me too lol. Cummins is the best!!!
Me toooo
Even the gassers are good
I had a 2nd gen with 170k and nothing was wrong with it
Haha me too....wanted to see if he would say anything about the 24v cummins, I have a 2000 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9l cummins and has 251k on it....not a single problem with the engine tows great but the frame and body just rusts too quick
My 1996 Dodge Ram pick up has been really reliable and seen a lot of years. 433k miles and still going strong. When Chrysler made the first and second gen Dodge trucks, they were the toughest and strongest trucks in the market. The one bad thing about the second gen is the cracked dash. Dodge and Chrysler couldn't recall that crap
Dustin you just keep believing that you will go to heaven lol
I'm have ram 1500 5.2 96 257k no problem engine an trasmisión.good good
5.9 or 5.2?
Damned dash! Haha
Older ones ok likely
If your truck won’t last 100k miles, something is wrong.
Yea the engineering behind it 😂😂
Yeah, it's sitting too much and being abused when it is run. Trucks like to be worked like a truck daily.
Yeah. There's more hours of idling on the engine than there is miles. When my engine is running its moving. I never let it idle
Cherokee should have been sold with a spare transmission
@suny123boy1 clearly you've never understood the difference between city miles and highway miles.
My 2001 Dodge Dakota sport has 211k and still runs like new and powerful
Mines a 2000 and it's at 281k. So I can vouch for u fam
423k when I upgraded. Same motor
@@michaelmchugh4186 holly jeebus. What did u upgrade too?
Mine has 349k its amazing that it’s still runs good but I’d give it 1yr or 15,000miles
@@jeremiahfry6799 nah fam. Itll last longer. You just have to keep her maintained properly
I had a Nissan Titan 2005. It was powerful and got decent mileage for the engine size. It had 274K on it when I sold it, still going strong. It depends how you care for the car and how you drive it. Every brand of car has issues.
I've seen alot of Titans that made it 300,000 Mike's. In his earlier days Scotty was really biased to Ford's. He's gotten better lol.
The exception is never the rule. If you got lucky on a truck doesn’t mean all are that way.
Nobody:
Scotty: Want a truck that last long huh? *Just get a Celica bro.*
He's gonna put the Celica on Craigslist for $100k "undestructible Celica and bullet proof with low miles" 😂😂
Get a Ford bro 😂👌
@LibertyIsDead yes please!
Get a 95 Honda civic put a 5.9 cummins in with tow mirrors bigger tires...
Datsun.620
My buddy has a 1996 f-250 with 451,000 miles. Runs like butter. Plus those trucks had 2 tanks so you could easily go 650+ miles in it. If only diesel fuel wasn't watered down today.
i miss those old trucks and vans with double tanks, all u had to do was flip that switch
@@damienwolff1752 I miss the double tanks AND the awesome paint jobs those trucks had. And the standard transmissions.
I love dodges. As long as I do my maintenance, I always get more than 200,000 miles out of a dodge. Truth.
I mean my 2005 has 220k on it and it's never given me any real problems. Still runs string and I use it to work
@@thebondoman my 92 had 196K when i wrecked it my 02 4.7 has just shy of 150k with few issues.
2003 Dakota that's still in near mint condition. Only problem it ever had were the ball joint issues they had on these and Durangos but it was fixed under warranty. That 4.7 still runs strong.
Best trucks ive ever had
I had a 2010 2500HD/5.7 Hemi with 180k trouble free miles. Sold it a few months ago for more than I paid for it! I think that was the best truck Dodge built in the past 40 years.
Rev up your Silverado 4 cylinder for the first and last time!
@Grieg Ragen lol. I want my rattle to be from a spray can.
This is what happens when you have a millenial engineer that grew up knowing only the Prius as the family workhorse. A generation who's dad's didn't pull a trailer down 95 and attempt to pass a semi going 80 mph with a full truck and trailer. You end up with a ricer engine that uses diesel tech. (Sky Active) technology to allow fast and furious fantasy to meld with a truck. Perfect engine for people who buy a truck to have it decorate their driveway. Better not drive it much. Chevy did a Chinese style knock off of V-tec on that 4 banger and they included cylinder deactivation too.. cause yeah. Your 1/2 ton Chevy will get better gas mileage if it can run on one cylinder.
I would like to see that. You would be able to count each time a piston cycled.
Easily the dumbest thing GM has done lol.
Lol!
I really enjoy binge watching Scotties videos when I feel like watching car videos. Classic, channel. Scotty is a national treasure.
Is it just me or does this guy shotgun a 12 pack then does his videos. Maybe why I still watch them. Lol
Lmao... u nailed it.
IKR?!?!🤣😅😄
A 12 pack of redbull
Most good mechanics I know are extreme alcoholic
He does look like a drinker
I'll forgive chevy for putting a 4 banger in the Silverado if they throw a 6.2 in the Chevy spark that we can buy
Hemi
I know, it's a joke!! I've been wanting a truck for years now and I'm finally ready to buy one. But I refuse to buy a 4 cylinder truck.
@@kimbershark that’s the new one not the old one 15-19 250hd and 3500hd, 1500hd 16-18 and older don’t have a 4 cylinder engine
Miss old Dodge trucks. Power Wagons were my dream trucks as kid in the 80s. Scotty's contempt for GM is so delicious though.😀
yup once I drove a power wagon off road into a corn field and the corn was over the top of the front window, it drove right out but couldn't see where I was going, just see endless rows of corn in front of me. the ears of corn hitting the front window was like running over zombies and hitting their heads to make them splatter.
@Steve Silvas '60's Dodges were good
I liked the old dodge trucks and see them more frequently then the newer ones! 😂 The newer fiat rams sound horrible.
I miss my fathers 1976 power wagon I asked him when I 5 to keep it for me I wish he took me serious
A Team Did the farmer shoot at u for running through his corn. Lmao
Hannibal, face man, Murdock, B.A 👍🏻
Scotty seams to forget about ford and the 3 valve and 4 valve Triton engines. Having cam phaser issues and shooting spark plugs out of the heads. Oh and the 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7l Powerstroke diesels cracking pistons, having DPF problems, blowing head gaskets, and having injector issues.
Scotty is a Ford guy or getting paid by Ford for not saying nothing bad about them lol
That's true I had a spark plug shoot right out of my ford that's true and the plastic intake cracks that cost a lot I will not own one again
Way to completely generalize about Ford without any sort of context..
And ford trucks rust away vary quick I own one family members to and all rusting from inside out
6.7 is an amazing motor if you maintain it just had one roll in the shop with 700000 miles the main reason 6.7 get a bad rap is people don’t maintain them then it dies cause they went 25000 miles with the same oil change but yes 5.4 3v is garbage even if you maintain it
2001 Dodge Ram 1500 currently has 202,000 and the only things that have gone out are 2 water pumps, throttle position sensor, and a radiator. Otherwise it still runs like a champ.
Issaq Al-Ahmed before fiat took over bud your good
‘05 1500 5.7 Hemi, 202,000 miles, original transmission and engine, no major issues. Just needs a power steering pump as the fluid was never changed and the bearings in the pump are shot. Take care of your cars people! That’s what Scotty and everyone else who does this videos is preaching!
5.9 magnum, 198k
if your looking for a truck, get you a 2015-2020 F-150, you won’t be let down.
just don’t get the eco boost!
Ashton Matejka 5.0💪
100,000 on my 2015 2.7 no issues
Yea F150 or tundra for me. Both are solid
Someone did their homework absolutely I have a 2019 F-150 3.3 V6 Sport model very pleased stay away from vehicles that have fuel management systems fairly new technology and are causing engine failures I have auto/stop feature but I disabled it
Still driving my 2000 dodge Dakota, v8. Its got 200k miles on it. Transmission is still good, engine and timing chain are still good. Hope to get another 100k out of it.
That's rare for a 1st gen 4.7 to make it to that due to oil sludge issues. I had a 00 durango last year with the 4.7 that had 235k and was still running strong...but like i said it's really rare..
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN 2000 is second Gen I thought?
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN I started seeing oil foam in my oil cap after 120k. Switched to high mile synthetic and it fixed the problem. I also replaced the PCV just to make sure.
My dad's 2000 dodge Dakota with the 3.9 v6 has 230,000 miles and still going strong. All its ever needed was a power steering pump at 210,000 miles.
@@Krzrrazrrokr I recently had to get a few tubs replaced to fix a power steering leak. That was last month.
Ive never owned, nor have I ever known someone who had major issues with a Silverado or Tahoe within the first 100k. Usually you dont have any problems till well over 200k. But i am talking about 1999-2012 models
Correct my 99 Tahoe is still running great with 108k on it.
Yeah. Older trucks longer. But newer today. It garbage... I consider older trucks.. Nissan Pathfinder doesn’t look good to me at dealer for 4th time with tranny issues... I still love nissans. 3.5v6. Didn’t care on other.. when I’m ready for trucks will ask Scotty for advice.. but all I see most videos ford. Stronger and long lasting. Except. 3.5 turbo.... my friend has. 2011 no issues he tows a lot of cars buy and sell
After GM introduced Active Fuel Management in 2007 you'd be very lucky to make it to 200k. They took a super reliable engine and ruined it with that garbage. Those 1999-2007 GM trucks are tough as nails
Yupp my 2000 Silverado with the 5.3 vortec has 271,661 miles still pulling my lawncare trailer no problem.
My fathers 2005 Yukon has over 370k miles still original engine and transmission. Only had to replace some seals and oil pressure sensor.
I got a used 03 Toyota Corolla as per your advice and it was the best decision of my life
I have one too and it's still running strong
Guess why I bought it, my brand new BMW 320i was already falling apart and it had only 8000 miles, electrical problems, AC problems, transmission felt it would blow up, you name it, it got that. The electricals are absolute pile of garbage in BMW and I am trying to sell it asap before it totals itself up. Corolla even though is 16 years old (only 25k miles) runs great
Me too! Just wish a few months after I got it the clear coat on the hood bubbled from a pin prick to an large pizza so far.
I saw a new 2019 BMW with clear coat peeling on the rear bumper already lol
I drive an 05 carolla LE, really love it its only got 140,000 miles but drives like a dream and has only had the check engine light on once for a loose gas cap!
I've got a 99 Dodge Ram Diesel, 336K miles on it. I had the transmission rebuilt at 260k miles, its on its second Injection pump. It starts instantly when you turn the key and gets about 18 mpg. Very good truck.
The honesty and the laughing at bad design.. dude this guy is the man!!
I had to look at this video and was hoping and praying my 2016 ram 1500 wasn't one of the hit list. Now I can drive and get my iced coffee with a smile

@@BubbIeCum are you lonely? I'm a grown man who didn't ask for your advice. Are you just making comments for attention or do you need a hug?

I don't know much about trucks, but I had a hard-body when I was younger.
She stared falling apart after just three kids......
In the 1980's, I had a co-worker who drove a Ford Ranger with over 350,000 miles and it still ran really nice; with the exception of the paint finish being slightly faded everything else was in great condition and even the clock worked.
have to disagree had a 2005 nissan titan and had over 400K when i sold it and i still see it going down the road two years later. 2014 GMs need to be the first on the list. they don't even make it to 80K
Nissan cant give away them big pickups. Ford RAM or GMC only!
They don't have to have to last that many miles since they spend most of their time in the mall parking lot.
Well most people buy extended and super cabs now. The beds are so small you can't do a bunch of hauling. But they are really good for people with families. Think about it....a lot of interior space and you still get a hauler and tower when you need it. Not every truck has to be a work horse. I personally have a regular cab full size. Great in snow and the parts of a truck wear so much better than a car, plus I have great hauling capability.
@@Anth230 yes, America is full of empty truckers that justify their odd purchase buy saying "its good in the snow" or something dumb like that
stickloaf Pickups are terrible in the snow unless your hauling a lot of weight in the bed. The rear end goes sideways even in 4x4.
@@philtripe haha, so true, I hear this all the time
@@philtripe Sorry you feel that way. I had a Ford Ranger that I only replaced the front brakes twice and never had to do the rear drums. This was after ELEVEN YEARS. The only major thingnever replaced was the muffler. Every car I had the brakes were gone in less than two year. Suspension needed to be done at least once etc. Trucks are very low maintenance. As for snow trucks are better 4x4 or 4x2. Sure you have to put a little weight in back but I NEVER have been stuck in snow with my trucks. Been stuck several times with all my cars. We get heavy snow where I live.
My lil Ram 4.7 with a 4:10 rearend has 115000 now and I love dusting all the Chevys and Fords. Strong for many years and no problems at all.

Have a 2019 ram 1500 with 220,000 miles as a company construction and I’ve never had a lick of problems. Me and my buddy love the healthy v8. And I’d say Fiat has almost saved it and made it better since 2010 or so.
An easy way to see which vehicles are junk. Go look at a few used vehicle lots and see what they have most of. If there is allot of a certain type dont't buy that vehicle. When I was looking for a truck a few years ago I did this. Every lot was filled with used dodge trucks. This tells me allot of people were not happy with there dodge.
go to a junk yard and see which newer vehicles are there...
Dodge made greatvtrucks until 2001. The 2002 on have been problematic to say the least.
Or they're popular. Ever think of that lmao. What stupid logic.
You are so right
Yeah man you're pretty dumb if that's what you're basing off buying a vehicle. Like wow LOL

My ‘98 Ram 1500 is still kicking just fine at 236k miles. Original Transmission, engine, and everything else (minus oil filters, a starter, and a couple of radiator hoses) and had the original shocks until July of 2018
Where’s Scotty’s vids on the pos Toyota frames or the countless Ecoboost engine failures?
Toyota frames that were rusting were manufactured by Dana holding Corp. An American company. They left out a corrosion inhibitor to try to save money. Toyota had them manufacture the frames to save money from building them in Japan and shipping them over here where their trucks are built. Had they of been built in Japan they wouldn't have been rusting.
He's 💯% correct..I drive truck for a living..and I see all of these trucks that are clearly brand new.. broke down hood up on the side of the road ... My 2000 F-150 V8 4x4 has 186,000 ..has been trouble free just doing basic routine maintenance..
i mean you cant get everything correct on a new thing right away so ofc the newer vehicles have problems
Person: My Chevy Silverado can barely accelerate and it can’t tow. Wth is wrong?
Me: **pops hood and reveals 4 banger** I wonder why…
Just drove one the other day and it has tons of power.
If that's not the problem than throw out the access weight from the bed.
Got 355K on my Nissan. Yup I have replaced every axle seal. I always change my own fluids Heck engine swaps too. But while under there, I look for leaks, if I see one, I replace the gasket. I think a lot of failures is because of poor maintenance.
These are facts cause a Nissan truck 300k plus . But you gotta water a flower so it will grow. Some just drive and only check the gas hand
I have the knowledge to fix my own vehicles, but I don’t have a garage or all of the fancy equipment to diy
I've had two work trucks that were Chevy Silverados with the Ecotec3 5.3 v8 and each one made it 100k miles with zero issues other than standard maintenance. I have no doubt they would make it to 200k.

Sounds like mine ram, except I’m the landscaper and my ram is a 96. Good work truck, never lets me down.
My Titan is first year made, 2004. Only problem was front brakes fixed under recall. Scotty says differential problems, true, made in Mejico until 2007, they botched the heat treatment on some. These are Dana 44, same as my 63 Studebaker, Jeeps, Dodges and bunch of other American vehicles. Part of failue is dint break in as instructed and since Titan was first American made light truck rated for 9300 lb towing (forcing the others to catch up) many overloaded them. Way advanced, 6 bolt main bearing DOHC engine awesome, fully boxed high stregth steel frame, no complaints.
boboraxo I owned a 1963 Studebaker too! It was a great car, but the engine burned way too much oil.
The silverado/sierra 4cyl turbo is the new base engine replacing the 4.3 v6. It is mainly for fleets and retired guys that will likely never load them beyond 20% capacity
Retired guys pull a lot of big boats and big trailers.
I have a titan with over 300,000 miles and still going strong . “Scotty “ I had 1 customer with a Nissan titan All this information is based on 1 customer.
My titan was a beast at 150k miles before a hail storm totalled it.
Best truck I ever owned. Keep in mind he is going by what he experiences with people bringing him problems. Not people's experiences with the truck over all.

The horn started randomly honking and then my car would randomly shut off while driving or idling. I took the car to the local Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram/Fiat dealership and it took them almost a year to properly diagnose my car because they couldn't duplicate the problem... even though if you Google this part they eventually replaced, the exact symptoms it was having were there and it seems to be a huge problem for Chrysler cars made between 2007 and 2014. So not only is the car and its parts poorly made, but the Dodge mechanics seem to not know much about these cars either.
I have subsequently had to replace the alternator and the thermostats. Now the car needs a replacement ac actuator.
The car has 85k miles on it, so maybe the smaller stuff is normal repairs, but trying to figure out why my car is doing weird stuff that no one seemed to have the answers to has been a scary experience for a woman who doesn't know much about cars.

2001 Grand Cherokee 265,000 2005 RAM 1500 130,000ish. 2007 Gran Cherokee 4.7 107,000 2016 1500 Silverado lil over 50,000 and not one issue.
You have to keep in mind that scotty only sees the worst car owners in the world. People who take there cars to a mechanic often dont know much about them. I have had 3 Silverados all over 250,000 and sold them running great. My 2007 1500 with the 6.0 had 380,000 on it when I sold it. My 2016 with the 6.2 has 130,000 currently.
Gotta say, Scotty, you're one of the reasons why I bought a used 2001 Tundra. Had a 1999 Dakota that I bought a year ago, and put a lot of money into trying to fix it, finally give up on me and strand me at work at 1:30AM last Monday (transmission wouldn't work in reverse) at around 160k miles.
Made the decision the next day to look for a Tundra. Figured if I'm not wanting to spend a lot of money on a truck, buying a high mileage Toyota was going to be better than buying a high mileage anything else, except maybe Ford (got an '02 MPV, which is a essentially a Ford, that has over 270k on it and still runs pretty well).
By the end of Wednesday, I had myself a "new to me" 2001 Tundra with 205k on it that doesn't leak a drop of oil. Just needed a little brake work, new struts, and a transmission fluid change. Going to be replacing the timing belt and water pump here in a few days as well, once the parts arrive.
This truck might just make me a Toyota fanboy. XD
You are poor!
@@alexanderchenf1you are balls on chin
I've got the 2010 Nissan Titan crew le. Just change belts, tires, oil. 100000+ miles no troubles.
Me too with 180,000 miles
My Ford F-250 1995 with the 7.3L power stroke has 387,485 miles on it and it runs and drives like a dream
F-250powerstroke7.3 Ford stick with the 90s 🔥🔥🔥
F-250powerstroke7.3 Ford non-turbo or is it turbo
Hate the new diesels the 7.3 is indestructible!
WK_Paws it’s a power stroke it is turbocharged, ford quit making the idi non turbo in 1993 if I’m thinking correctly
WK_Paws it’s turbo just put a brand new one on yesterday
