My f150 had 134000 2.7 still going strong. I change the oil every 5000 miles and check everything every two weeks
I still think that Toyota should keep doing a V8 Tundra.
And a 6cyl Tacoma!
You can blame the US government and our CAFE standard for Toyota getting rid of that.
@@iggy2677 the new tundra sucks. 2021 was the last truly built one.
Keep NA everything. But government regulations around the world won’t let that happen.

After watching each & every videos of scotty's i sold my car and bought a bicycle without gears and shocks,,,, now i am happy,,,

Good call!! 😂

0:00 Toyota Tacoma

19:25 Honda Ridgeline
Tacoma not Tundra.
@@Crounicxwhoops thanks for the correction
I just love when people do this! Saves me the time so thank you 🙏🏼
No friggin way Nissan holds up better
Thanks for taking the time to list the starts of each truck.
Glad you're alive appreciate all the help with projects
Rangers do not sell because they charge about the same as a F150 so you might as well go F150. All the prices need to come down.
Yeah I was looking at them at one point but once you price it they just don't make sense.
all the price will stay, you need to adjust or no new truck for you! That is how it goes. Say the mantra with me... "PRICE WON'T COME DOWN IN THE LONG RUN", don't wish upon a star, live your sux reality and know the more you wait, the more the price will come up!
Depends on the F150...
Totally agree.
@@slothypunkIf the fools would stop buying they will go down FAST. Bet
I work at a Ford Dealer (parts delivery)......our techs have another name for the EcoBoost engines....."EcoBoom".......seeing as so many fail less than 100000 miles...........................
Would be nice if Ford Technicians were competent enough to repair them. 🙄😏
@@Missioneer Better yet......would be nice if Ford's "bean counters" would allow Ford engineer staff to design and produce better products.......the techs at dealership level are OK, but they can't fix problems that originate at Ford corporate headquarters................
I know. My father's 2015 F150 turbos went out (at least one of them) ,at about 100,000 miles. So what did he do? Brought another one😅.
I'm really liking the Titan or Frontier at this point.
Love frontier love. Most of the other truck and car review channels don’t even bring the frontier in midsize truck comparisons
18 years on my 2006; and still like new...
4:45 that is funny😂
....Scotty buying a vehicle for more than 4k
I bought a 24 Ridgeline recently and am loving it
Bought a new Ridgeline in 2019...very happy.
My 2007 Honda Ridgeline RTL still runs extremely good, with only one major replacement and that was replacing the radiator. This is a very reliable pickup.
I've seen a few of those 1st Gen Ridgelines that went well into the 200K mile range.
@ 10:26 top right hand corner 😂. Owner of the frontier seeing Scotty moving his arms like crazy.
I have a Nissan frontier, and I love it. I have the pro 4x in boulder grey. Has the bells and whistles. Got it new
I am very close to pulling the trigger on a 2024 Boulder Grey Pro-4X, but still a little hesitant….
I originally intended to buy a 2024 Tacoma TRD sport, but the only option being a 4cyl Turbo has almost convinced me to go for the Nissan.
Had a new 2010 frontier, 120k, kept it clean, even the engine. Then a kid drove into it after I parked it. The truck never had one problem plus more Hp then the Tacoma
@@GrifFungin im going to wait for the 2025... hope it comes soon
My 2006 Frontier has been great. Only had to replace battery and alternator. Their V6 is great. The new Frontier has 300 + h.p is pretty impressive.
@@n0xxm3rcyxx Why are you waiting for the 2025? I’m not aware of any significant changes coming in the 2025 model…
Scotty confirmed we must check the issues on the car before going to the mechanics. This is good when we have a manual transmission. Its more simple.
Give me old tech any day!
This new Nissans look pretty slick.
I ordered and got a 2022 Tacoma and its an Access cab 4x4 loaded. Its a great truck!
Love my 23 Ridgeline. It's not an off-roader or heavy tower, but for daily driving for people who aren't actually hotshots, it's an awesome vehicle. Glad I got it :D
Can't match the ride with other offerings...so smooth.
2024 Frontier Pro4X. Pretty much maxed out. Couple grand or more than less equipped Tacoma. In mixed driving getting 21-22 mpg. Comfortable. Excellent tech. Only some light off road at this point but will easily handle snow, sand, logging roads in my future… not a rock crawler. I’ve had Dakotas, Tacomas… keep coming back to Frontier… last on 130K and was 12 yr old… no problems just wanted a new one.
Thanks for the info!
Hi Scotty love your videos you make my day
Ford does make good stuff from time to time. I owned a 2008 ford ranger single cab 7 foot bed 4 cylinder that I got for work. I ran that thing all the way up to 150k sold it to a kid that was running AC units in my job site and needed a truck for work. I wanted to upgrade in size and power. That kid is driving it 80 miles each way to work in a different town and it’s still going without a hiccup. I do miss it but we gotta move on sometimes. I got myself a used 2017 F150 with the 5.0 engine so far I’m happy.
As a 2017 Tacoma v6 owner I’ve got over 195,500 miles and it’s been great 👍🏼
I eagerly await the Toyota Stout. If it compares favorably with Ford's Maverick price wise and economy wise, Toyota will sell a million of them.
I have a 2024 frontier SL and I love it .
Did it come with the Fender speakers? I just noticed that when Scotty opened the door, the speaker cover said Fender and my eyes widened and mouth dropped.
@@Blue_Neptune13 Nissan cheaped out by dropping Rockford Fosgate for the far inferior Fender
@@superj7106 I didn’t know that. How’s the sound system with Fender replacing Rockford? I miss the sound of the Mark Levinson in my old Lexus.
@@Blue_Neptune13 it sure did
I love the frontier
Hey, don't get a taco. The new ones just had a recall because of the real-axel coming off. Plus, the front differential broke during easy offroading; also the Ranger can tow 1000 pounds more. Pair that with the dealer markups and it is not a good buy.
Bought a 2023 Tacoma sport because I wanted the 6 foot pan. Great truck.
2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E is the best vehicle I've owned.. Runs as tight and strong as the day I bought it.. So easy to live with and use.
Two way tailgate, trunk in bed, speakers in bed, inverter in bed.. All practical to use.
Radar cruise control is a life saver.
Would not buy it to tow 3000lbs + loads regularly. Would not take it off road...
AWD system has multiple settings.
Torque vectoring on rear wheels makes it fun to drive around corners.
My 07 has 200k and still going strong
Still don't understand why Honda uses timing belts in their engines. Would prefer Taco or Frontier for sure.
2:18 .. YES there are back doors on that SR 5 as well as my 2022 Taco SR ....
That old tech is exactly why I want a Tacoma. It's quality and reliability have put it at the top slot.
Except the weak and rusted frames nobody talks about.
Easy, wash the frame
@@brads3620 Not easy. They collected water inside and rotted away. Nissans did not. But people coddle Toyota when any other brand with the same problem would get roasted. Toyota is like the high school jock that gets away with things no one else would, because the brand has become a personal identify thing for some reason, like people who defend "their" football team no matter how crappy they perform.
Strange psychological phenomenon.
@jeanclaude7018 nissans are notorious for rust lol. I had a rogue that would easily rust even inside in the driver foot well, under the seats, etc. And this was despite keeping it clean and away from water.
@@asadb1990 Here is more of the generalization that drives me nuts. It's like the popular lie that Nissans are notorious for "bad transmissions," which is ONLY restricted to the CVT. After 50 years of driving conventional Nissan transmissions, I have NEVER been able to wear one out, and my current one has 427,000 miles.
Likewise, perhaps your model was prone to rust, as was the original Z car.
But among trucks, the most infamous rust were certain years of Tacoma. The actual frames, due to poor construction, rusted to the point of breaking in half, and thousands of them were completely replaced by Toyota. The Toy Boys are quick to say they have not heard of this, but it's verifiable history. No Nissan truck ever had a bad issue like this. That's why when critics try to say the new Frontier has an old frame, I say they got that boxed frame right the first time, , while Tacomas were rotting away, so why should they "fix" what's not broken?
I have owned two Tacoma, two Tundra, two 4Runner and I’m on my third Frontier and currently 2024 Frontier Pro4X and 2022 4Runner Limited FWD ❤❤❤❤❤
I have a 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x!! I love it!! Best truck I've owned, even better then my 2010 Tacoma TRD off road!!
Wait 10 years and see if it's better

How? Please explain. I've done a lot of research on Nissan and Toyota
Nice rigs.
Hey Scotty, I like your picks for this videos. Do you have any recommendations for larger trucks?
Yeah no thank you, I would still keep my 2017 f150 EcoBoost, has almost 160,000 mi and hasn't given me a serious issue. I can pull more than a Tacoma, get better fuel economy than a Tacoma, more spacious. Much more comfortable to drive. The bed is bigger. In what ways is Tacoma better? Probably keeping its value
Glad to see you're still alive Scotty I was convinced you passed away
I love this dude
Put 220k on a 2000 Frontier over a period of 8 years. Great truck.
That was better made truck than the later models
Well right on time
I got a fully loaded Nissan Frontier (SV trim) with 13k miles for $32k. Very solid truck.
Love my 23 Pro4x Frontier
I’m digging the Nissan Frontier.
I like sunroofs Scotty; good way to vent heat in the Southwest, and makes a smaller interior feel less claustrophobic...
2022 pro4x owner. Amazing truck.
I was considering a pro 4x. If they only came with manual transmissions I might have gotten one. Still, great trucks though.
Good video. Can I ask what kind of diagnostic scanner, (brand) you use? I am thinking of getting one for my vehicle. Thanks.
The only thing that wait to be seen is the longevity of the MB design 9 speed transmission. I don't worry about VQ reliability at all.
High torque V8 is best for snowplow and towing. Horsepower kind of unimportant. My uncle had a plow and hitch on his F100 with inline 6.
TBH Tundra with iforcemax is a beast for snowplowing. I tried it with my friend's Tundra last winter, blows f100 out of the water. The problem is I had yet to see Tundra iforcemax owner using it for its intended purposes, 99.9 percent buys it as a toys than workhorse!
I love that new Frontier . I’d buy one over a GM or Ford 😂
Nissan Frontier 😍
I saw a plow kit with hydraulic system that mounts on the front bumper of a daihatsu hijet kei truck being sold in Canada. That’s just crazy.
The 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigues have the Winchester headliner that does not collapse.
Oh that’s good. I’m still driving my 2007 ford F 150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it… !! Still running strong !!
Scotty, my 23 4runner has a bad front diff from just about new. The dealer is finally replacing it after the TSB failed to fix the issue. Should I replace the needle bearing with a ECGS clam shell bearing or do you think with the new diff everything should be alright?
My 2012 Tacoma with the 4.0 has been an absolute beast, It goes through everything. Low miles, just passed 120k.
my trd off road at 70mph gets 20-21 mpg
at 75 its closer 19 mpg
I can get 23/24 if i drive 55mph but the speed limit is 65 or 70 in some places
so 55 will get you run over by semi.
12:53 says best mpg is 22.1. That means the owner hyperinflated the current mpg before dropping it off.
Got a 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro4X best decision I ever made
Hmm, my 2022 Tacoma SR isn't a four door but is an access cab so it does have rear opening doors, but no handles on the outside. I never saw one that is like a conventional two door with hinged seat backs.
I’m impressed with that Nissan Frontier even though I’ve always been in love with Toyota Tacoma’s. I noticed that @12:04 when you opened the door, the speaker on the door said, “Fender”?! Did you get a chance to check out the sound system? Now I’m beginning to second guess if I should trade in my 2023 Altima for a Frontier instead of going with a 4 Runner 🤔
My issue is I already have a 2012 Honda Pilot with 96k on it and it’s technically not my vehicle, it belongs to my “dogs” 😂 None of them have been in the Altima because well ya know it’s newer blah blah blah but I need to make a final decision in October when my lease is up and just want to purchase a good truck like this Frontier, or get my dream vehicle, a 4 Runner. I don’t like the idea of having 2 SUV’s unless I get rid of my Pilot. I don’t know what to do anymore Scotty. I’m torn and to be honest, if I could afford it, I’d just get rid of my Pilot and Altima for a Nissan GTR! That would never happen because my dogs need their own vehicle 😂
The TPMS system on the Ridgeline has to be kept operating or you can't turn off the traction control system, which you absolutely need to be able to do if you are going up a snowy/icy hill or if you get stuck. It's the worst thing about the "truck" I've experienced after owning one for about 7 years.
I wish I had the money for a Tacoma or a Frontier. Well entail then I'll keep chugging along with my 77 F150.
When did a company start making batteries on the island of Guam?
Scotty, the 2022 and later tacomas have a diff recall right now. about 400,000 affected tacomas
I just bought a used 2023 Ford Maverick and am hoping it can last 10 years like my last 2012 nissan frontier pro 4x but for various reasons I needed to move on. My old truck has 150k 4WD so how much do yall think I should sell it for? (Did not trade in bc many people have told me tbey want it!)
We need a Scotty and Jay Leno show 😂
I wouldn't mind having an older Ford Ranger with the manual transmission. Those 2.3 4 cylinders could last a long time if you kept the oil changed in them. They can't carry or tow what a full size truck can but most people are going to be pulling a 40,000 pound RV trailer. If I had one of those I would be going for the F-450 with the turbo diesel.
Yeah those old small trucks were all pretty solid. Ford, Nissan, Toyota, even the Chevy's weren't horrible. They were reasonable price and good for what they were. If you wanted to tow or haul something big obviously they weren't built for that.
You’re right. I’m still driving my 2009 FORD F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. still running strong !!! Go figure.
got a 2004 and it won't die! 170000 mi and burns NO oil,
Scotty, do you think a Toyota Diesel Dually Tundra would dominate the work truck market?
They could source the diesel engine from either Isuzu, Cummins, or Caterpillar.
I wish they would.
@scottykilmer is a 2018 Nissan titan SV reliable?!
I’m getting 12.5 L/100km in my 2019 hemi……I think that’s pretty good.
Lifters ticking yet?
That battery is good Im from Guam!
😅
we got a 13 tacoma at work with the 2.7 and everyone that has drove it says its slow and theyre confused when i make deliveries quick. they dont shift it themselves. if you want speed you have to know how to drive
What about the electric Smart?
When did Dennis Hopper start making youtube car videos?
I got lucky, my Tacoma is American. Texas factory! 16 sr. 75K on 4 banger and she humms
My Hilux is made in Japan, imported here to USA, as best of a truck from Yoda as it can be!
Who would’ve thought
I prefer a 4 banger. 150ish HP isn't bad for a truck 4 banger. Good torque usually.
In california I have yet to see a single 4 cylinder tacoma thats 4WD. Not saying they dont exist but for some reason they dont really seem to send much here..
No oil pressure gage? Not good! 23:39
Snow plow? Huston?
I want to see this video but on actual trucks (heavy duty)
Does that Honda have a bad headliner?
fyi ridgeline only comes in fultime 4 wheel drive there is no 2 wheel drive option
I got a 2006 f250 SD lariat extended cab with 8 foot bed and 5th wheel with 37k for 15,000.00 at the dealer.
Mexico is the best!
I've been to Tijuana (laughing)...
LOL first guy lost his lunch! 33k for a smaller truck 4 banger?! Sheesh, just got a tundra for half that 100k miles w/ a v8. Building credit on a car payment what a terrible decision. Buy w/ cash or keep your 2011.
I agree V8 or nothing. You gotta get v8 5.2 or 6.2L Truck or get a damn muscle car. Gotta sound good, and feel good driving! Especially for the price of trucks these days.
I,m buying a Tundra made before 2022.
The radio in the tacoma isnt made in mexico
its assembled in mexico.
Hey my fellow truck buyers why are Chevy/GMC trucks transmission so squirrelly. Sometimes its smooth then sometimes it jumps into gear. Is this normal? Do other trucks do this? I hv 150k on a 08"Sierra. Besides that its perfect
Change the transmission fluid. Half at a time
I'm on my third Frontier. They are great trucks! My current one is a '21 Frontier SV 4WD and the only one I bought new off the lot for 36k. I considered the Pro4X but I didn't want the sunroof and extra electronic stuff (more stuff to break, expensive to fix, lol). I LOVE my SV and it gets great gas mileage (over 30 mpg three times, now! Just put a bed cover on it and keep your foot out of the accelerator...lol). As of today, it has 18, 347 miles on it and I haven't had a single issue with it. The new body style ('22) was available, but I went with the old body style '21 with the upgraded engine and 9 speed tranny because I figured if I ever need body parts, there will be plenty of them in the junk yards. Besides, 2020 and 2021 are the only two years that have the old body style with the new engine and 9-speed tranny. That makes them unique. Haha! Oh, btw...they drive like a car with the highway tires they come with. If you put some AT tires on them, they feel more like a truck (and corner even better, IMO).
After my wreck I considered switching to grabbing a Frontier... but I just had to grab another Tacoma 😂
If you are dropping $50K+ to plow snow, you better be plowing a 'lot' of snow...
Bad credit, 33k mini truck. Dudes payments gotta be ridiculous..I've had bed credit years back and man, did they f u with outta kiss
5:50 Fact Check: As a man who has lived on Guam pretty much all his life (since 1990), I can tell you, we don't make car batteries here. We don't have the raw materials, we don't import said raw materials or components to make such batteries. We import over 90% of what we use in our day-to-day lives and export next to nothing. If you take another look at the battery in question, you might notice Guam is just one of 5 places that particular model of battery was distributed from, and it seems it was made by a company called "Clarios", a rather Mexican sounding company name that I have never heard of before. I recognize the name of the company that has the Guam distribution rights, Atkins Kroll, the dealership that carries Toyota. Note that there are 4 companies in locations noted to be distributors of that battery, the others are in Plano Texas, Honolulu Hawaii, San Juan Puerto Rico, Pago Pago and American Samoa.
Beautiful truck
Owner driver forgot to go in reverse from a parking spot. He was ok too, just embarrassed. Nissan has the GTR. Dreaming....
Gone are those days my friend 😢
To begin with, a guy was starting to "have problems" with his F150, and we don't know what those were. 122k is less than 10k miles per year, the avg is 16k miles per year, so technically that F150 is considered low mileage, not worn out. So instead of addressing the supposed issues which could very well be a cheap fix, he takes his bad credit and goes into debt on an even more expensive pickup that is far less capable than the one he got rid of. A trade-in of $11k is on the higher end of trade in value for a low-end 2011 F150, so the dealer apparently didn't seem to think the truck had as many problems as the owner did when they inspected and test drove it, otherwise he would have gotten much less. The best way to build your credit fast is to get a credit card, make small purchases, and pay it down each month while still leaving a small balance. Not go into long-term debt with a set payment each month. Hell, the guy could have gotten a credit card, used that to "repair" his F150, and then paid that off over time, improved his credit, and maintained positive equity in what I'm assuming was a paid off truck.
Three new trucks Scotty should buy
I hope someone gives you a newer Honda Ridgeline to review I'm a fan of them with the exception of the stupid timing belt 😅
I would rather replace that timing belt and water pump then keep going for 200.000+ miles without having to replace those Very expensive chains, Way Smarter in my opinion, Yes I'm a Mechanic. 😁
@@raymondreiff8170 I agree but most timing chains last a lot longer
@@johnnorvaisas Right they have lasted over 300.000 miles for me without issues, I own four Vehicles Now only one 2liter with chains, the rest are belt driven But I did always change the oil at 4-5000 miles, I don't think people change oil enough in Modern engines across the board, Also some people could destroy a crowbar in a pile of feathers imo, Yes that's alot of oil changes a little over 60 oil changes, I bought the first one at 60 some thousand miles the other over 114.000 miles Now for the 1.7liter single cam Honda's I run with belt driven cams, I don't try running them over 100.000 miles along with the water pump and idlers, 💩 this is a different Video post I was talking about 2003 1.3liter 5 speed manual cars I ran too 300.000 miles without any large issues O engine problems, Only problem is not enough torque when the Nickel Metal hydride batteries got over 200.000 miles on them and about 8 years of time.
The Ranger sales were down because they are built in the same factory as the Broncos, and Ford needed to focus on the broncos because they were behind, plus Ford was preparing to build the next generation Ranger and didn't want to flood the lots with the previous Gen.
Can someone give me real advice? My wife has 2021 Toyota Rav 4. Toyota recommends 10,000 mile oil change intervals with full synthetic, seems extreme. I'm thinking 7500 max,obviously not a mechanic but is this 10,000 mile thing for real, thank you for recommendations
Oil and filter change at 5k miles intervals. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Scotty will agree.
@@smokey2459 silly advice...Owned vehicles for 50 years.. Just follow the manual.
Thanks 😊
If it's only for freeway commuting, then 10k per interval on synthetic is perfectly fine. If your wife does a lot of driving around town running errands, picking up kids, etc., then I would say to err more on the side of the "extreme use" or "severe duty" interval or whatever the manual calls it is. Or split the difference. If you want to get really technical, go to a place that does on-site oil analyses. That will tell you how well your oil is holding up given the driving and current change intervals. If it's not under warranty anymore, the manufacturer isn't going to care what the interval is. Just make sure it's routine for your type of driving.
