Uncle Scotty, Thanks for this!
By the way. Planning on getting a Toyota Vios made in PH or a Toyota Avanza made in Indonesia I think, and both 1.3 MT 2020s. They any good here in the Philippines? Thank you!
Hey Scotty, what’s your opinion on the 2013 and 2014 Honda Accord sport? Are they reliable?
dealers are getting $30 grand for loaded 2015 Tacoma's with 40k miles, ridiculous!
Scotty where I live 4x4s are a practical nessessity and used ones are hard to find. Doesn't matter the brand/model they are exspensive when you do find them. My 03 Dakota 240,000 miles still has a market value here of $4,000 to $5,000. I recently went shopping for a possible replacement $7,000 for an 04 anything I even seen an 09 priced $20,000. I live on dissability I can no longer afford to buy another truck. My old Dakota still runs strong and in good solid mechanical shape. So I guess even at 240,000 and 17 years old it's worth the effort to keep her going.
If you tie Scotty's hands, he couldn't talk! LOL
Best truck to buy when you’re broke: ‘94 Celica
For real though, if you're broke you probably shouldn't be buying a truck to begin with. Get a $1500 beater
Sometimes you need a cheap truck especially if you're bootstrapping a new business. 👍
@@timbohouston Or a teenage boy just getting his drivers license!
Lmao
I had a 93 with a sunroof are used it like a truck I got my moneys worth out of that thing

2. Ford Ranger
3. Ford F-150
4. Chevrolet Silverado
5. Mazda B Series (Pickup)
6. Mitsubishi MightyMax
You're welcome.
Thank you!
Note, he said Chevrolet Silverado pre-2003. Now every time he mentions a junk yard, he puts a Chevrolet dealership picture up in the corner.
👏🏾blessings
Shouldn't the B series be number 2 aswell since it is just a Ranger
The older Chevy s10s are also great and midsize compared the Silverado
I own a 1998 GMC Sonoma. Body is rusty with 2.2 4 cylinder/automatic transmission , 280,000 miles and still rolling on.!!!
You are Blessed...

Got a 92 s10 got it 220,000 miles for 800 use it as a daily driver putting on 600 miles a week only needing oil changes. Now it has 290,000 haven’t had a problem
*I’m broke - I can’t buy any truck at the moment!* 😆

Scotty... ENDLESS MONEY PITS!$!
I found out my girlfriend's brother in law got a used 2wd tacoma a while ago. It was $19,000. Its more than 15 years old. I got my 20 year old ranger for $1,900. I'd much rather get 10 rangers than 1 overpriced tacoma. I could even buy my truck, and 9 remanufactured engines for it for that cost.
Ive owned a 98 ranger for 3 years now, it was my late grandfather’s. Thing is still mint at 160,000 and it’s fun as hell in the snow!
Man I had a ranger and it got a cracked head at 215k miles
@@alhanleal8118 my '93 is at 214, problelm-free, so far ;-)
My dad had a 1995 Ford Ranger 4 cylinder with the manual transmission. He got 315,000 miles before the catalytic converter went out. Great truck.
and ? what happened to it? You dont need a cat to run a truck! or u can get an aftermarket cat for $100 ., Cat is not something like engine or tranny failure
96-01 5.0 explorer mountaineers are decent. Transmission is only weak point
@@ansv3340 You technically don't need a cat to run anything if you live in a state with no emissions testing *cough* Alabama *cough*.
When the cat. converter on my 97 pathfinder was bad, i just stripped the inside and i still pass emissions LOL
My last Ranger was a 1998 and had 400,000+ miles and my current 2004 Ranger has 274,000 miles so far. Both had the Mazda built 5 speed manual transmissions.
Make me laugh everytime he says “junkyard” and shows Chevy dealership Lmaooooo 😂🤣🤣🤣

I didn't catch that until I read the comments, lol
I had a 1994 Ranger pickup that I bought from my neighbor when it had100,000 miles. I sold it in 2015 when I bought his used F 150. The ranger had a 3.5 litre engine, manual trans with 4 wheel drive. In the 213,000 I had it ( total.of 313,000), I replaced the clutch twice ( teenage boys ), all the u-joints, a starter, alternator, mass airflow sensor, and the water pump the month before I sold it. It didn't use any oil, no rust (did have a little paint pealing), and everything else worked, AND the seats did not have any holes in them! I let it go for $1,200 and the person I sold it to still uses it for a work truck. I can vouch for Ranger pickup trucks!

Silly ford. Pulling trailers is for chevys and RAMs
Im always amazed , my 38 year old Toyota truck always starts and goes and the Automatic still has no problems .
Amazing! Original engine and transmission? How many miles?
@@JJ-ls7fq yes all original , 135K miles
@@jamesduke4957 sweet! Low mileage for such an old truck. That's great.
What truck is that

I drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma , and I change oil every 5000 miles , runs very smooth , manual transmission has done near 140000 miles and the best part is ,AC still blows cold
Freezing cold? 😄
Yeah that ac system is ice cold
Same deal with my 2002 Silverado.
My "99 Tacoma" still going strong 371,283 miles.
Every thing Original, Replaced Radiator 3 times.
Routine Maintenance, Saves you $$$.
Been rough people trying to steal it
My 2000 taco was stolen. Thank God I got it back !
Was looking for guitar pickups, but I like this too
1990s Nissan Hardbodies are still on the roads by the thousands. The best truck I've ever owned. Cheap on gas, durable, dependable and you can work on them yourself and find parts galore.
they're also skyrocketing in price for one in decent shape
You hit the nail on the head again Scotty! I bought an ‘ 05 Ranger 5 years ago in almost mint condition with the 2.3 - 4 cyl engine that looks and runs like new. I paid 4 K for it and have no regrets whatsoever! Plus it has the 7 ft. bed which is exactly perfect for me. Thanks for the good solid advice as always Scotty! 👍
I need your contact information so I' can
discuss with you on how to get one.
No skeeters at Scotty's house with him flapping his arms a mile a minute!

Yes. This is one of Scotty’s best windmill performances.
It must be part of his exercise régime.

I am first time here. I thought he might be buzzed!
😂👍
No' thats the guy you stand neer too. He'll attract skeeters. Not scare them off. Best bug dope ever is standing close" but not to close" to someone thats moving all the time.
Since this episode is about reliability it's probably good to mention that the 1st generation of the SOHC 4.0 in the ranger (1998-2001ish) was prone to timing chain issues. It was somewhat remedied after that. The pre 98 ranger 4.0 was OHV and didn't have those issues.
Guaranteed my 2017 Rebel is not on this list. I think I’m going to trade it in on a 1994 Tacoma today
Smart thinking. 😂
They didn't make the Tacoma in 1994.
@@JJ-ls7fq Just a name thing. Lol
Why do you dislike your Rebel?
Assuming they're willing to make that trade! :)
I used to have a 1985 Nissan 720 pickup. That thing was a tank. The previous owner abused it, but the 2.4 liter (Z24) engine still ran like a top, and the 5-speed manual transmission worked great. I wish I had never sold that truck.
always listen to this legend scotty. 52 years of being an honest knowledgeable mechanic is hard to find these days. keep up the great work scotty, and telling the truth.
Got a 98 Frontier, been one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.
I have an '02 Ranger and still is in really good shape!
My work just bought 3 2019 Chrvy Equinoxes, one has like 32k miles and already has engine knocking. The others have 30-35k miles and all of them are burning oil. This shows the lacking quality in GM, ALWAYS LISTEN TO SCOTTY 😂
Just buy the older ones 😂😂😂 I have a 06 Chevy equinox lol but it is a great compact suv still ya blow a head gasket which mine has not done yet..
That is my first car
A good friend of mine is a REAL GM fan. Last year he bought a new Equinox, 4 months later the transmission failed. Because GM had SO MANY OF THEM FAIL there was no transmissions available. Since he had been a good customer for so long, the dealership gave him a loaner to use until they were able to repair his. 7 MONTHS LATER his was repaired. I asked him if the loaner held up, he said that the transmission on it was beginning to fail when he returned it to pick up his.
@@brucejones2354 I have a friend like that who would seem to seek out the worst lemons every 2 to 3 years....always broke down and spending money on them. Had a Plymouth van...Vougyer...then got a Ford Windstar van, then got an Equinox, then got a chevy cruz......every single one a total POS.....bottom of the heap vehicles.
@@brucejones2354 That doesn't surprise me. The ones we have at my work are already starting to have the transmission slip and clunk at like 30k miles. It sucks because GM used to make decent vehicles, and seeing the quality control keep going down due to greed and cheapness is sad.
91 gmc Sonoma, perfect 6 cylinder daily driver, easy to fix, easy to maintenance. Had mine a year and never let me sit not once.
Chevy trucks eat fuel pumps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what I needed, thanks Scotty!
My grandpa has a 2013 Tundra with a TRD Rock Warrior package on it and it’s only ran on oil changes and gas so far. The truck still feels brand new to me.
Rblx maybe grandpa will gifted to you
Darren Bates forever
It used lots of oxygen also !
@Josh Smith I agree there is something special about Toyota's suspension... It's awesome infact I only want a toyota because of that suspension.... Too many bumps and pot holes in Nigeria....
Reminds me of Steve Miller Band song - my grandpa is ninety fiveeeee...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Scotty, You’re Automotive Advice Is: PRICELESS!
Your*
You know what else is priceless watching his arms flail all over the place as he talks about stuff 😂
Thank you for all that you do Scotty
Scotty, Your words are so true! Currently, I cannot find a decently priced Taco and the Rangers are a dime a dozen! Way back in 2003, I wanted a Tacoma and settled on a 2000 Ranger 4x4 off road extended cab for over 6K less! Had a great time in that truck!
That Tundra has $20k in options. Let that sink in a minute.
What the sink want
No, the sink is suspicious
Not a chance, my moms not home and I don’t recognize that sink.
That sink....is up to no good.
I have a 2017 Frontier 4 cylinder, no power door locks or windows but the simplicity of it was what sold me on it. Would buy one again.
I agree. I have the 4 cyl Frontier with roll down windows. I bought it used and ordered a color coordinated cap for it and drive it every day to work. Always gets 19 -20 mpg. Has never been to the dealer for service but gets the oil changed with synthetic oil and Napa gold oil filter every 5,000 miles.
@@eyesalooking currently own a 04 frontire very reliable truck

Ford Ranger got a shout out from Scotty! My ‘05, given its age is still taking me point A to B.
In my country, Ford Rangers last like forever, many people use it and love it.
What's your country, if you don't mind me asking.
You're amazing Scotty. You always sound like you just got out of a loud heavy metal concert.
Good luck finding a deal in California. In Southern California everything is overpriced haha ha
And everything is a pos priced at 10k
That's were da money is. Lol
Ya unfortunately its super expensive out here
You've got that right. The most expensive thing here is the politicians.
Same here in San Jose, CA.
The 88-98 Chevy/gmc trucks are tanks good trucks if you can find a clean one 👍
Yea if you like replacing ac delco fuel pumps, alternators, sensors, dash gauges read incorrectly.....GM has been garbage for 50 or more years dude
Just bought a Chevy S-10 2001, previous owner took great care of it. It came with the 4.3 and everything works great. Can't complain.
In 1997 I bought a brand NEW Isuzu Hombre pickup 2.2 5speed , it was $8695 plus tax . I still drive it to this day .
What's your mileage?
@@TheHerbdude 184 K miles
I remember that Joe Isuzu commercials from way back .
@@TheHerbdude & when Isuzu used to sell cars like the Impulse..
$400 a year for a small GMC truck. not bad.

Is it for sale?? I live in riverside too
My 1999 frontier has 280,000. It starts right up and runs great without any issues
agree - the very first vehicle I ever purchased was a used 1990 hardbody Nissan base (2wd, std cab, short bed, manual transmission, didn't even have a rear bumper). But it got me to work and back for a decade. Miss that little truck...
I took Scotty's advice. I bought a Tundra 4x2 Crewmax!! I love it!! On my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍 thanks Scotty be safe in our crazy times!
If you're broke, you're not buying a vehicle of any type...
I would think broke means poor which is like 20-35k salary
Broke, means you are completely out of money...

My dad had a 96. 260k miles and after sitting for 2 years it started the first try with a new battery!! Unbelievable reliability.. it was falling apart with rust though , but hey, 24 years old..

Batteries, tires,alternators starters, master cylinder, slave cylinder, steering gear box,to name most of the parts I personally installed myself over the years,,but that little motor still runs like a top! I so wish I could buy it all over again. I'm beginning to believe its gonna outlast me! Oh and I buy lifetime parts and they just keep giving me free parts!!! Haha...
I’d recommend Nissan hardbodies. I had 2 93s. Both had over 200k miles. Awesome little trucks. One had 240k miles, drove it for about 3 years. Never burned oil or anything. Only thing I had to change was the belts and a couple light bulbs. Oldest and highest mile truck I ever had, only one that didn’t give me problems. Until a lady rear ended me texting and driving.
Many could have gone even longer if not beaten into the ground without care. Mine is at 423,000 now. Need to rebuild the original front end. Seen these in junkyards with very little wrong with them. Very sad. I would buy them to restore if I had the chance.
I miss my '96 Ford Ranger. Had over 350,000 km on it with the 3.0L V6. Loved that truck.
What happened to it?
@@hunsakerfilms670 it had wheels
Thank you I need this
I had one of those Mazda B series pick ups it had the four-cylinder engine in it that had been overheated. The oil rings seized to the pistons from heat. I put new rings and rod bearings in it, never touched the main bearings. I used silicone for an oil pan gasket. The valve cover gasket was reused with a very fine layer of silicone as added sealer. I also reused the exhaust manifold gasket as it was a solid piece of metal. The only thing I bought other than the rings and Rod bearings was a head gasket and an intake manifold gasket. I drove that truck trouble free for another seven years before it finally gave up the ghost. Best $400 truck I ever purchased.
Great video again Scotty! I have a 2001 Toyota tundra access cab that I bought six years ago for $5600 with 118,000 miles on it. Granted I had to fix a bunch of stuff but I’ve been driving it for six years! It now has 220 on it I have about 9000 into it all together but I haven’t put any money into it except for normal maintenance in three years! New frame went under it two years before I bought it and the body only has minor paint bubbling Here and there.
Uncle mike is the guy who bought an XL contractor white ranger in 2001. Only option was A/C. He sold it after 400,000 dependable miles for $500. Learned how to drive stick in that thing at 300,000.
Got a 90 Toyota pickup 4x4 and still running like a champ. 💪
We have a 94 extended cab v6. Stills starts everytime. Rusty bed though.
In KSA we still have the 70 series Land Cruiser 💪🏼
@@labornurse best trucks. That's all my dad ever owned. When he passed last year I restored his. Extremely dependable, cheap parts and lots of fun
Good job! Thanks for your excellent info!
Honorable mention should be the venerable Chevy S10. Have had my 2002 4cyl, 2wd, regular cab for a while and that thing has been nothing but good to me. Thankfully bought it with the transmission already rebuilt.
Waiting all night for you to upload. And finally!
The all the way back window on that tundra rolls down, like the 4Runners and Sequoias.
This was very helpful. Thanks, Scotty.
Ive owned my 2003 Ford Ranger Edge for 14 years now. It's lifted on big tires. 3.0L V6. It's been my daily work truck and now it's my trail toy. It taught me how to wrench and how to have fun. Can't go wrong with a third gen Ranger if you arent afraid to turn a wrench.
I do want to buy second hand mainly because new trucks are waaaauy too expensive. But one think i learned from this video is that 4x2 trucks in the second hand market are much more reliable and have less components meaning they last longer especially the ranger with a 4 cylinder manual trans. Thanks Scotty. Another informative video.
Bush clearer in Northern Quebec here, looking for a pick-up : broke the frame of my ‘99 Silverado, up there in the mountains. Too bad Scotty, Quebec isn’t the Southern States: i NEED 4 by 4.
Watching a lot of videos . I’ll definitely stay away from the 3v 5.4 Triton:)
Otherwise, old Chevy, 4x4 Ranger, or non-5.4 F150.
Toytoys are too expensive for me
@@pilonpatrick573 f250/f350 SD 2004(03?) and earlier have leaf springs f/r and ofc you get solid axles f/r

I can vouch for those '90's Chevy trucks. Mine has almost 200K miles and all I've down besides maintenance is have a blown power steering hose replaced. No big deal. It's been in the shop for the last month or more, the paint shop! Getting that puppy looking all shiny and new with blacked out everything. ;)
The Chevy S-10 Mid Size is another good one, guys.
I have the 2003 S-10 with the 4.3 liter V-6, Extended Cab. I bought it in 2006 with 89K miles already on it. It has 199K miles now, original engine and trans, and neither has been rebuilt, and the AC still blows cold air. I did keep the oil, and trans fluid changed religiously, myself. The only thing i`ve had to do is change the heater core,,,,thats it. I see so many of those still around today, and they`re dependable little trucks.
Just something to consider, if you can find one with lower mileage
Thanks Scotty I am 17 and just got my license and you are helping me out getting my first car thanks man
I ❤️my 2010 Ranger! It just turned 247,000. Runs great. Original 2.3 engine and transmission. Doesn’t use oil. Body solid. I want to pass 300,000 at least!

I have had fantastic success with the little Ford Ranger. They get great mileage and are fun to drive. My current model is a 1992 with a 3.0 liter 5 speed. It now has 290,000 miles

Hey Scotty! Enjoy your videos! When you talk about used pickups I’ve never heard you mention Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I have had an ‘02 for ten years, and it’s been the most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned. As a mechanic, what is your experience with them?
I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 paid 2700 bucks years ago with 168k still runs great
Yeah, he's wrong on the date though. The good Silverados go up to 2006, not 2002. I have an '05.
@@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit Good to hear. But they did away with the Vortec engine in 2006, which is practically bulletproof. Hopefully yours holds up.

@@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit Yeah I just checked. They made the Vortec up to 2013/14, so I think you're in luck with the engine at least.
@@drewliedtke3415 I thought same as well, the 2001 to 2006 are same generation. Or maybe it's 2000 to 2006
Thank you for explaining the RWD Jatco's vs the FWD Jatco's. I think I'm going to look for a used Frontier while I search for a used Taco.
2006 sport trac was really cool, bought it for my daughter, put a nice set of MT wheels, 32” tires, Bilstein shocks, a replacement stereo with a backup camera. She loved it. Replaced all of the brakes, bearings, updated all the ignition parts and hoses. Magnaflow exhaust sounded great. Good power. Crappy mileage. Back bed was useful enough. Car was totaled when a driver ran a light, had 8,000 in it, insurance paid out 9600.
Unlucky but Lucky you. I have an 07 and it's had more mess than I can handle. From tranny to wiring that screwed up 02sensors. Then the hurricane Mike hit it. 😭. And I still want it like a bad woman 😭😂😀😎
Scotty you have WISDOM, very good advices...thanks
He says : “go to a junkyard” , and up flashes a Chevrolet dealers sign (:- )
I love how Scotty shows a picture of a Chevy dealer every time he says junkyard. I don't know if I agree with that but it's definitely hilarious
Yes, I drove a Nissan Frontier for over 100,000 for work and personal use. Totally solid little truck
Just ran across your channel today. Heard that an older Silverado is good. Just bought a 2004 a few weeks ago. Glad to hear that I made a good choice.

We have them as the navara where I'm from and sadly they're not as well built as the ones in the US
Yep. 2009 Frontier Xe 2.5 with manual transmition. Love it.
GMT400 88-98 trucks are bulletproof, buy one while you can
Like a rock
Like a rock
i have 2 of them they are already getting harder to find in stock condition running good
@@mike-bj4dk Yep, was lucky to find my 95 locally with less than 100k on it, diamonds in the rough now!
I recently bought a 96 GMT400 and it’s solid as hell.
Good practical ADVICE. .from an expert...!
Thanks Scotty. Perfect timing, I'm looking for a used pick up.
If you’re broke buy a car. Truck tires alone are expensive
You’re a national treasure, Scotty!
love all your videos Scotty!!
S10/Sonomas are great little trucks too. Cheap and easy to work on. The 4.3l is bulletproof . I've had 2 now. And my friends have had a couple as well. Didnt have to put a dime into the first one I bought . Was a 98 4.3l 5 spd stepside zq8 for 600 bucks. The one I have now is a 00 sonoma longbox reg cab but this one was neglected and needed lots of work but only has 176000 kms. Into it for about 2000$ CAD
I had a 2016 nissan frontier for almost 4 years. I loved that truck and took good care of it. That truck ran perfect when I owned it.
Have 2009 Frontier. Little tenk.
Thank you for this video. I own an 05 Nissan Titan and I’m starting to have some issues that are just too expensive for me, especially getting gas for a 5.3😭😭. Thinking about buying an old ranger after I sell the Titan so this video really helped!
"or, go to a junkyard"

Me: Hey Scotty, what kinda dog should I get?
Scotty: Get a Toy Ota, they're the best breed and live the longest!
Still wondering if Randall missed the Joke? Me too. 😆
My 1996 Ranger small cab 2 wheel drive I bought used 50000 miles or so. Had an AC that made you wear a sweater in July. Wish it was still here. Very good truck..
Solid advice!
Thanks for telling when the Silverado was a GOOD buy. 😀
STAY AWAY FROM GM
