When I was a service manager at a large ( Datsun ) Nissan dealership in 1975 to 1995. I can't ever remember of having any problems with cars or trucks, like these late models.
I have to agree with you there. I considered buying one when they first came out but after my last fiasco of a truck purchase (2004 Ford F150 with 5.4 triton 3 valve engine) I will not buy another vehicle in its model year. I believe they made the Nissan Titan XD with the v8 Cummins engine for only 3 years and about half of them had catastrophic engine failures and can’t even get the parts to fix them. Dodged the bullet on that one. Also - all the Ford and GMC / Chevy diesels from 2012 to 2019 used a CP4 fuel injector pump that self destructs causing replacement of the entire fuel system.
I agree the simplest pickup I could find for 2024 was the GMC Sierra 2.8L work truck version. Even this has far too many bells and whistles I do not want. It is a nice work truck we will see how long it holds up in 5 or 10 years.
Yep, I had an 1985 F150 with the 4.9 inline 6 cylinder, I put 500,000 miles on it gave it to my buddy & he drove it for years. I would love to find a 70's model & rebuild it with that engine & a 5 speed manual. That would be my perfect truck.
@@danielpadgett2831where did you find a 90s Ford truck with a 5.0? I don't think that engine came with that truck. I believe Ford just started putting 5.0 engine in their trucks un 2011
2015 Ram 2500 here. I’ve had it for 7 years. I bought it with 21k miles and it now has 107k. It’s been a fantastic truck so far with none of the problems mentioned. *knocks on wood 😂
I have owned several Ram trucks, and still have two. A 2004 Ram 2500 w/ 5.9 Cummins and a 2020 1500. The only issue I have had is on the 2004’s auto transmission ( 48RE). I have to admit those transmissions are only good for about 100k. But never had any of the other stated issues. The 2004 has over 325k miles and no mechanical items replaced other than the trans.
This is why every truck manufacturer needs to get get back to building a basic truck that ever working person needs. Not this garbage high tech trucks that we the hard working people don't need.
I climbed scary steep hills and drove through stuff that shouldn't have been possible with my stock 92 yj it had more aggressive tires, otherwise completely stock. I drove through mud holes so deep with some water on top that i got muddy water in my air filter. It dried to a solid cake of mud and somehow still drove fine before i even thought to check the air filter. A solid cake of mud! You couldn't flex it or move the waffles!
6.0 Power Stroke a family member bought an 04' Excursion new off the lot and still has it. The biggest issue was alternators for a while. It still looks and runs great under 200K and has been very reliable I used it many many times for trips over 1,500 miles and no issues I ever had with driving it.
2006 Dodge 5.9 Diesel 2500.. 250,000 and going strong. With the exception of a transmission rebuild and numerous AC door failures. Also had to wire the wipers direct due to engine computer problems. Can’t complain much. Will tow 20,000 and you won’t know it’s back there.
Dude get the hell outta here. Dodge is trash. You talking about that Cummins engine, we talking about trucks with their own engine. Dodge doesn't make anything that's good. Take the Cummins out that Dodge and all you left with is garbage
I have a 2011 Dodge Ram Big Horn. So far its the most reliable truck I've ever owned I bought it with 60,000 miles on it it now has 130,000 and counting
My 2010 has 235,000 on it now and I haven't had to do anything serious to it. The most I've done was fuel pump, water pump, headers with true duals, and had the computer tuned. I've had to buy back tires every year for the past 5 years since it was tuned.
I got 12 years and a 140,000 miles out of my 2012 Ram Laramie with the 5.7 Hemi before I sold it to buy a lightly used 2022 Power Wagon. Not even a tick.
‘03 f150 harley davidson! Supercharged 5.4! 367,000 miles! Replaced drive belt, alternator & spark plugs once! Will smoke a hemi dodge 2day still! My ‘08 f250 has 367,000 on it also! 5.4 triton is just starting 2 puff a little smoke on startup after sitting a week r so! Still only on startup! Say what U want about a Ford, but I’ve been converted! I only spend $ on expensive oil! Do sll maintenance & repairs myself!
I've never had any issues with my ram engines. But then again I actually do services on them. I have a feeling that those who complain about the issues aren't changing their oil. Currently I have an ecodiesel and I have 96000 trouble free miles with it so far
I have a 2003 6.0 F350. 6 speed manual. Bought it new. Yes it keeps me busy with maintenance but when I see how worse the new models are and how much $$$ they cost, I’ll keep my 03.
We have a 2015 ram 1500 and 2015 jeep grand cherokee both with 5.7 hemi. These vehicles are great IF: one buys them used since they have a lot of depreciation AND one must run them cool. These run stock about 250 degrees, way way too hot resulting in engine and tranny failures, sensors failing, computers hoses belts wiring all fail. Put in a 160 stat and get it tuned so no CEL. One has to go all out larger radiator etc. I have 2 radiators in my ram. Run it 170 change the oil 250,000 easy.
@@awakenotwoke4830 lol incorrect. The parts replaced were FAR from "most" and it was the previous owner that dealt with it. Conversely the 1999.5 F350 7.3 PS that I bought new had some problems in the first several years of ownership and had an inferior transmission and front axle among many other things. I'll take the 6.0 over ANY new truck.
@@MatthewC137 How would you know if you didn't do it? Replacing heads or having them cut for o rings. Studs, oil cooler, injectors, fuel pump, water pump, EGR delete, it goes on. We had 4 F-550's with 6.0's for tree work. Cheapest "bullet proof was 7k. Last one was 12k, and they still don't start on a cold morning. We have 6.7's now those are eating oil through the turbo and blowing up. We went to International because Fords suck!
@@awakenotwoke4830 I have all the receipts for the work done and mine got the full treatment. However I understand engines and know what's in them so I know that not even close to most of the parts were replaced. Like I said, I've had zero problems in 7 years of ownership and my winters get down to 40 below.
@@awakenotwoke4830 The one thing that MUST be used in the 6.0 (and 7.3) is Archoil to prevent injector stiction. Btw, the 6.0 is an International engine not Ford.
2019 ram Limited 5.7 hemi Bought the truck used in Florida with 30,000 miles. Glad I bought an extended warranty. 1st I bought the truck with a bad dash... it was bubbling and peeling. Complained to ram care they replaced for free. 2nd at 37,000 miles the engine took a crap on me. Dealer thought it was a mds solenoid. Upon further inspection the engine was self destructing do to the oil pump Design. Warranty will replace engine with brand new engine. I will upgrade the oil pump for more volume. (Not pressure) the same pump that is in the demon or hellcat. Upgrade the exhaust to prevent the "hemi tick" Hopefully I won't have anymore problems 🤞🏾
I've got a 2008 Sierra 5.3. It has been rock solid other than the oil issue. Not quite to the 1qt every 1000 miles though. I'm up to 235k miles and running strong.
I've got an 05 Ram 1500 Hemi. Have over 160k miles. Only had to replace the water pump, might need to replace the crank shaft sensor. But other than that it's been a great truck.
Mopar in general has been battling issues pretty much forever. What are Dodge's known for? Transmission failures. 318? Bad valve guides and blowing smoke/blown engines. Head gasket issues... I could just as easily say all the hot rod engines in stunt cars on TV? 99/100 engines are the SBC 350 with either the Turbo 350 or 400 transmission. With a Ford 9" rear end. There's almost always never a Dodge/Mopar/Chrysler part IN a performance vehicle, just the shell or exteriors 😂😂😂❤
I've had 4 RAM trucks over the years and none of them EVER let me sit! I did all scheduled maintenance and drove the 100,000's miles. Normal wear and tear items with the exception of one that I had to replace the alternator on the 2002 and a blower motor relay.
My 2021 Ford F 250 7,3 Godzilla the engine broke down with 45,000 had to be replaced now the transmission broke down with 61,136 had to be replaced. I’m getting a Tundra soon
Nowadays trucks aren't all tough. It's more about practicality. As I have aged. I've had big trucks, little trucks and now I have a Ridgeline. It's just practical for 4 adults comfortably and it can haul my Necessities. if I need less, I have a Prius if I need more, Yes I have a semi.
I've owned a 2023 F150 Platinum FX4 with the Powerboost option since it was brand new: (1) The infotainment system of this truck keeps shutting down on its own every day; (2) The gas engine shuts down constantly but when it starts up, a very annoying strong jerk is felt every time and I wish that the auto shut-off system could be deactivated; (3) Up to a year ago it was getting 20.7 mpg average with the OEM tires, but since I changed the OEM tires with taller, more aggressive off-road tires, now I'm only averaging 17.7 mpg.
I got to experience the issue noted at time 3:28 the spark plugs shooting gallery. I was one of the first F150 owners. Ford told me it was not covered under warranty due to spark plugs being not covered under warranty. I argued that it was not a plug, it was probably an over torqued plug and the cheap aluminum heads stripped out! I had 32,000 miles on it. I had the truck in for a diagnostic at 20,000 miles for a knocking issue. They told me they could not find anything. They settled with me for almost half the cost of the replacement of the head. I sold the truck at 30,000 at a loss.
I bought my 2005 ram 5.7 hemi brand new...it is the strongest and most reliable vehicle in have ever had it has never let me down my baby has 243356 miles and still runs like new
In recent months I've seen a 2015 GMC Sierra w/ 64k miles, and a 2015 Chevy Silverado w/ 75k miles, both w/ the Displacement on Demand 5.3L engines and BOTH needing engine replacements. The GMC even had an issue w/ the electronic steering system causing it to go 1948 Hay truck as far as steering, HIGHLY unsafe in my opinion.... I'm of the belief actually that MOST trucks, cars as well, produced since the turn of the century have been extremely lackluster in mechanical quality. One COULD point the finger at the manufacturer's, due to their ideology of "Planned obsolescence" forcing people to drive newer, high maintenance vehicles requiring computer upgrades instead of the way it used to be where folks learned how to maintain their own cars and could, and would, work on it themselves.
@@moveitback1 paint in the plan. 145,000 miles. I did do a dash replacement. Core skeleton to the facial. Heat in the south is hard on the plastic. Interior flawless but paint terrible.
FIAT, which is Chrysler's largest shareholder, should be sued and banned from the USA due to its poor performance in the construction of Dodge and other vehicles by the automaker. Certainly she wants to end up with the glorious Krysler that we have been very proud of since the beginning of its existence. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
I’ve got a fleet of ram 2500 6.7 liter Cummins…. Ain’t a da,m thing wrong with these trucks…. In fact they are the best truck brand we have owned in our 38 years in business… this video is not accurate
Meh maybe. I have an 04 F150 with 230k miles on it. Had to rebuild the trans at 180k, other than that it’s been mostly routine. Replaced the upper and lower control arms instead of doing ball joints at 205k. Cracked my radiator busting a mud hole open. It’s been a mostly solid truck.
We bought 2023 Toyota Tundra within 8 months of owning the truck i hear Rod bearing knock Paid 70 thousand dollars my payment is $860.00 a month Know it's sitting at the Dealership for three months until they get a new engine.
What is the state law where you live. Some States have a lemon law and anything over 3 months the Stealership owns the owner another vehicle. 2023 and 2024's Toyota Tundra's have engine issues due to poor quality control and metal is left in the engine area after the machine process.
Vital safety systems like the rear view camera........... There are these things called mirrors mounted on your doors......... You ought to look into them............. Literally.............. 😂😂😂😂😂
Electrical gremlins have plagued Dodges for decades. I can atest to that! I will NEVER buy another Dodge truck or any Chrysler product. Horrific resale value, as well. Everybody I know who bought a Dodge regretted it.
the oil consumption problem with the 5.3 has absolutely nothing to do with the piston rings or valves! They didn't smoke new. It is because of the fuel management system. If you run the oil too low, too many times, you will get worn piston rings, but they didn't cause the problem
I have one and it's not great for towing or hauling. When you are doing hotshot you can pass the cost of a bad vehicle on. I have a 1st gen for regular hauling and towing. It doesn't have the power compared to the new one, but it's never let me down yet that's something for a 33 year old truck.
Ram is horrible of the 3 in all honesty, Ford, right in front of it. Even the 22 Ram, crew cab dually 6.7 with all the bells, towing 15-17k daily, went through 2 transmissions before the 3rd went out (after towing a few hundred miles it would shift very hard and slip, but they didn't have any replacement in the entire country), just got rid of it day after Thanksgiving last year. Huge loss. Never buying another Dodge or Ford, at least New one, ever again. Duramax with the Alison, now that's a winner!
i had a 2015 ram 2500 and never had a single problem with it. other than normal wear and tear. tires, brakes and i put over a hundred thousand miles on it. and i used it to tow a fifth wheel rv. of course it had some rust being i live in the midwest got my son a 2013 ram 1500 it had only one issue warped manifold covers got them replaced the truck had 52 thousand now has 110 thousand. replaced the key fob. normal wear and tear tires brakes. lucky him he has to pay for his own maintenance.
And my neighbors and coworkers give me crap about NEVER giving up on my 92 GMC k1500 with the 350. Sure it's a throttle body, but I'm going to slap new performance heads, new intake and a big 4 barrel carb on top, install a mechanical fuel pump and msd ignition. Pretty much make it purely mechanical. Old school tech has been tested and proven reliable and easy/cheap to fix with pretty much no trouble shooting, especially since there's NO computers screwing everything up!!! Sure, rust is an issue, but replacement body panels is fairly cheap and there are so many aftermarket parts out there, options for customization are nearly limitless, plus it's got the SBC 350, you wanna compete with longevity with me???
Just putting shorty headers on, k&n air filter with air filter lid turned upside down got me from 9mpg to 16.5mpg at 65mph, which is ONLY 3mpg less than my 2019 f150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost. And after I add the additional performance parts to my 350, I'm going for efficiency and torque, so mileage will improve on the highway. Granted HP is going UP quite a bit, and that downside is abysmal mpg in the city. Once I get it all set up, I expect it will last another 25-30 years, with minimal issues, as it's all mechanical. No electrical gremlins to cause issues or failures.
I have been driving pickup for over 40 years and the best one is my 2020 dodge 4 wheel drive, rides better and handles better than any of my fords or chevy and I get about 20 mph with the hemi engine. Oh by the way I am 76 years old.
It's especially disappointing to read of the problems with the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado, as this was the last year of that generation. I notice the 2023 and 2024 Colorado models aren't mentioned, possibly because those models are too new to have much of a track record. But I know those Colorado (and GMC Canyon) versions have a 2.7L turbo four that I'm curious to know about. I've heard conflicting reports about the reliability in the larger Silverado 1500. My gut feeling is that the 2.7L turbo-4 also has its share of problems. In any event, from what I've read, that turbo four is not only noisy but also thirsty for gas, which seems to me to defeat the purpose of a downsized engine. We shall see.
oh yeah my 2005 dodge ram 5.7 has 242k i just replaced the original ball joints i say they lasted a good while 19 years. and drives as smooth as butter
I don't know if you heard this pickup, Toyota Hilux(Vigo) 2.5L-3.0L...it's my favourite pickup. I live in southeast asia, so mostly this pickup are everywhere. it's rather reliable and powerful but can't compare to american trucks
You need to add my 2020 F150 with 5.0L and 10 speed. From day one its using one quart of oil per 1,000-1,500 miles, The 5.0L engine started "pinging" under lite load at about 30,000 miles and after Ford dealer had my truck in the shop for a month they stated No Problems Found and the noise is normal. Now at 45,000 miles I still have the "pinging" under lite load and very poor shifting from the 10 speed during 2-4 gear shifts. I have been a Ford truck (F100, F150, F350 and E450) owner for 50 years plus and this is not your good old Ford truck.
I have a white buffalo, a 2007 f150 w the 5.4 liter triton that has been great...normal maint and replacement of faulty parts. Power steering pump, radiator, leaf springs. It starts in 40 helow without fail. At 133,000 miles it uses no appreciable oil
I have a 2023 Nissan Titan 5.6.. so far so good.. of course it has a 5yr./100k bumper to bumper warranty.. heard Nissan is having issues.. hopefully the company won’t go out before my warranty..
I have a 2019 Colorado. Garbage, it feels like every 2000 miles I have to bring it in for something going wrong. Infotainment has gone twice. Transmission slipping. 3rd ECM. Dash lights randomly go out. And the infotainment goes into dark or night mode even on bright sunny days, which makes it very difficult to read due to glare.
If you buy a Chevy you always buy full size Our 2011 Colorado was crap too engine blew at 130k If I were you I’d get rid of it and get a ford Maverick hybrid 40 city / 33 hwy (All wheel drive too)
Dodge/Ram have always had major issues. I would NEVER own one, only lease it and give it back before it becomes a bank-account-breaker! Waterfall depreciation was another issue with all of them.
GM is the most consistently good brand out of the big 3 We have a 2013 Silverado with 305,000 miles original engine transmission replaced @ 200k and had a fuel acceptance issue 2014 Silverado 206,000 miles A/C condenser went out, Door had issue unlocking, PCV Valve went out recently and transmission went out at 189,800 but we never changed the fluid tbh that’s about it. 2018 Silverado 120,000 miles that just had its brake pads replaced for first time today Chevy is pretty consistently reliable although I wouldn’t buy a 2019+
Add a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 it would drink a quart of oil in a thousand miles no problem. The Ford dealer change the dipstick to allow more and lose less. The 10-speed transmission didn't know what gear to be in. I sold it and got a ram and had the transmission replaced at 48000. I can't win.

I got 12 years and a 140,000 miles out of my 2012 Ram Laramie with the 5.7 Hemi before I sold it to buy a lightly used 2022 Power Wagon. Not even a tick.
‘03 f150 harley davidson! Supercharged 5.4! 367,000 miles! Replaced drive belt, alternator & spark plugs once! Will smoke a hemi dodge 2day still! My ‘08 f250 has 367,000 on it also! 5.4 triton is just starting 2 puff a little smoke on startup after sitting a week r so! Still only on startup! Say what U want about a Ford, but I’ve been converted! I only spend $ on expensive oil! Do sll maintenance & repairs myself!
I've never seen a Dodge that didn't rust out early.
My 2010 is completely rust free because I live in Mississippi
We have a 67 Dart that's rust free. Athens, GA. Those lasted about 2-3 years in the snow belt. As did everything else.
My ram must be a living dead because is up to 320.000 miles.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Channels a idiot !
I've never had any issues with my ram engines. But then again I actually do services on them. I have a feeling that those who complain about the issues aren't changing their oil.
Currently I have an ecodiesel and I have 96000 trouble free miles with it so far
@@S.T.F.U.19084 yes Sr. Must people don’t even follow the maintenance sheet and then go and complain on internet 🤣🤣
I have a 2003 6.0 F350. 6 speed manual. Bought it new. Yes it keeps me busy with maintenance but when I see how worse the new models are and how much $$$ they cost, I’ll keep my 03.
2007 Chevy silverado 6.0 has been a very solid rig for me
We have a 2015 ram 1500 and 2015 jeep grand cherokee both with 5.7 hemi. These vehicles are great IF: one buys them used since they have a lot of depreciation AND one must run them cool. These run stock about 250 degrees, way way too hot resulting in engine and tranny failures, sensors failing, computers hoses belts wiring all fail. Put in a 160 stat and get it tuned so no CEL. One has to go all out larger radiator etc. I have 2 radiators in my ram. Run it 170 change the oil 250,000 easy.
2011 GMC 5.3 324000 and counting!
2013 Chevy 305,000 miles
Transmission replaced @ 200k miles and had a gas acceptance issue that’s about it
I got a 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch with 200k on the 3.5L V6 twin turbo runs great. Gonna keep it as long as I can!
I have a 2007 Colorado that I bought new, with 150K miles. I haven't had any of the problems sited in this video. Maybe I'm just lucky.
My 2006 "bulletproofed" 6.0 F250 has been the best truck I've had. Zero problems in the 7 years that I've had it.
Just had to remove the cab and replace most of the engine parts, to "bullet proof" it.
@@awakenotwoke4830 lol incorrect. The parts replaced were FAR from "most" and it was the previous owner that dealt with it. Conversely the 1999.5 F350 7.3 PS that I bought new had some problems in the first several years of ownership and had an inferior transmission and front axle among many other things. I'll take the 6.0 over ANY new truck.
@@MatthewC137 How would you know if you didn't do it? Replacing heads or having them cut for o rings. Studs, oil cooler, injectors, fuel pump, water pump, EGR delete, it goes on. We had 4 F-550's with 6.0's for tree work. Cheapest "bullet proof was 7k. Last one was 12k, and they still don't start on a cold morning. We have 6.7's now those are eating oil through the turbo and blowing up. We went to International because Fords suck!
@@awakenotwoke4830 I have all the receipts for the work done and mine got the full treatment. However I understand engines and know what's in them so I know that not even close to most of the parts were replaced. Like I said, I've had zero problems in 7 years of ownership and my winters get down to 40 below.
@@awakenotwoke4830 The one thing that MUST be used in the 6.0 (and 7.3) is Archoil to prevent injector stiction.
Btw, the 6.0 is an International engine not Ford.
2019 ram Limited 5.7 hemi
Bought the truck used in Florida with 30,000 miles. Glad I bought an extended warranty.
1st I bought the truck with a bad dash... it was bubbling and peeling. Complained to ram care they replaced for free.
2nd at 37,000 miles the engine took a crap on me. Dealer thought it was a mds solenoid. Upon further inspection the engine was self destructing do to the oil pump Design. Warranty will replace engine with brand new engine. I will upgrade the oil pump for more volume. (Not pressure) the same pump that is in the demon or hellcat. Upgrade the exhaust to prevent the "hemi tick" Hopefully I won't have anymore problems 🤞🏾
I owned both 2004 Colorado and 2015. Never had an issue with with truck.
I've got a 2008 Sierra 5.3. It has been rock solid other than the oil issue. Not quite to the 1qt every 1000 miles though. I'm up to 235k miles and running strong.
I've got an 05 Ram 1500 Hemi. Have over 160k miles. Only had to replace the water pump, might need to replace the crank shaft sensor. But other than that it's been a great truck.
Dodge death wobble would scare the hell out of you.
That is any vehicle with a solid front axle. Fords, Chevys, etc.
Dodge has had quality problems going back for decades, just cheap junk,
Dodge…?doesn’t build trucks,Stellantis builds the Fiat Ram you are commenting about,hence the poor quality
@@bradzimmerman3171Chrysler quality has been problematic for decades.
Mopar in general has been battling issues pretty much forever. What are Dodge's known for? Transmission failures. 318? Bad valve guides and blowing smoke/blown engines. Head gasket issues... I could just as easily say all the hot rod engines in stunt cars on TV? 99/100 engines are the SBC 350 with either the Turbo 350 or 400 transmission. With a Ford 9" rear end. There's almost always never a Dodge/Mopar/Chrysler part IN a performance vehicle, just the shell or exteriors 😂😂😂❤
I've had 4 RAM trucks over the years and none of them EVER let me sit! I did all scheduled maintenance and drove the 100,000's miles. Normal wear and tear items with the exception of one that I had to replace the alternator on the 2002 and a blower motor relay.
My 2022 Colorado is a good truck, no problem yet
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The last 3 cars I bought were JDM's.
2 RAV4's and a CRV (Right Hand Drive)
Expensive but well built and low miles.
My 2005 Silverado had 300k miles and was very reliable besides the sensors started going out which looked factory so they'll last long enough
My 2021 Ford F 250 7,3 Godzilla the engine broke down with 45,000 had to be replaced now the transmission broke down with 61,136 had to be replaced.
I’m getting a Tundra soon
Nowadays trucks aren't all tough. It's more about practicality. As I have aged. I've had big trucks, little trucks and now I have a Ridgeline. It's just practical for 4 adults comfortably and it can haul my Necessities. if I need less, I have a Prius if I need more, Yes I have a semi.
I've owned a 2023 F150 Platinum FX4 with the Powerboost option since it was brand new:
(1) The infotainment system of this truck keeps shutting down on its own every day;
(2) The gas engine shuts down constantly but when it starts up, a very annoying strong jerk is felt every time and I wish that the auto shut-off system could be deactivated;
(3) Up to a year ago it was getting 20.7 mpg average with the OEM tires, but since I changed the OEM tires with taller, more aggressive off-road tires, now I'm only averaging 17.7 mpg.
I got to experience the issue noted at time 3:28 the spark plugs shooting gallery. I was one of the first F150 owners. Ford told me it was not covered under warranty due to spark plugs being not covered under warranty. I argued that it was not a plug, it was probably an over torqued plug and the cheap aluminum heads stripped out! I had 32,000 miles on it. I had the truck in for a diagnostic at 20,000 miles for a knocking issue. They told me they could not find anything. They settled with me for almost half the cost of the replacement of the head. I sold the truck at 30,000 at a loss.
But did you buy another ford?
I bought my 2005 ram 5.7 hemi brand new...it is the strongest and most reliable vehicle in have ever had it has never let me down my baby has 243356 miles and still runs like new
thanks for the 2015 update!
I'm shocked that the Tesla Cybertruck is not on this list. No matter what year it is.
In recent months I've seen a 2015 GMC Sierra w/ 64k miles, and a 2015 Chevy Silverado w/ 75k miles, both w/ the Displacement on Demand 5.3L engines and BOTH needing engine replacements. The GMC even had an issue w/ the electronic steering system causing it to go 1948 Hay truck as far as steering, HIGHLY unsafe in my opinion....
I'm of the belief actually that MOST trucks, cars as well, produced since the turn of the century have been extremely lackluster in mechanical quality. One COULD point the finger at the manufacturer's, due to their ideology of "Planned obsolescence" forcing people to drive newer, high maintenance vehicles requiring computer upgrades instead of the way it used to be where folks learned how to maintain their own cars and could, and would, work on it themselves.
My 2015 has 340.000 an breaks tires water pump an manifold bolts bin good truck 5.7
The Ram 1500 Ecodiesel should definitely be on this list. Coming from a CDJR mechanic.
99 24 VALVE CUMMINS 500000 MILES AND COUNTING
I still have my 2001 24 valve 460,000 MI these are different trucks they're not the newer junk trucks
2001 2500 cummins. Paint my problem.
For the price of a new truck you could paint it every year or a new motor and still come out ahead 😜
@@moveitback1 paint in the plan. 145,000 miles. I did do a dash replacement. Core skeleton to the facial. Heat in the south is hard on the plastic. Interior flawless but paint terrible.
FIAT, which is Chrysler's largest shareholder, should be sued and banned from the USA due to its poor performance in the construction of Dodge and other vehicles by the automaker.
Certainly she wants to end up with the glorious Krysler that we have been very proud of since the beginning of its existence. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
This article is a waste of time. If your looking to buy a 20 year old vehicle just do an internet search for that vehicle.
I’ve got a fleet of ram 2500 6.7 liter Cummins…. Ain’t a da,m thing wrong with these trucks…. In fact they are the best truck brand we have owned in our 38 years in business… this video is not accurate
If the video was accurate it would have included every newer duramax. thousands of dollars just to keep it on the road
I have a 2004 Dodge 1500 with the 3.7 v 6 . it has 128000 thousand miles and never had any problems with it
Meh maybe. I have an 04 F150 with 230k miles on it. Had to rebuild the trans at 180k, other than that it’s been mostly routine. Replaced the upper and lower control arms instead of doing ball joints at 205k. Cracked my radiator busting a mud hole open. It’s been a mostly solid truck.
Ihave had so many of the rams 1500 and 2500. One had a wiring issue. The rest were great
We bought 2023 Toyota Tundra within 8 months of owning the truck i hear Rod bearing knock Paid 70 thousand dollars my payment is $860.00 a month Know it's sitting at the Dealership for three months until they get a new engine.
What is the state law where you live. Some States have a lemon law and anything over 3 months the Stealership owns the owner another vehicle. 2023 and 2024's Toyota Tundra's have engine issues due to poor quality control and metal is left in the engine area after the machine process.
Rams are drive way art good for polishing only.
Colorado trucks really have a re-PU-tation.
Our 2011 Chevy Colorado blew the 5 cylinder engine at 130,000 miles
My brother's 2023 toyota tundra engine blew at 3900 miles
Vital safety systems like the rear view camera........... There are these things called mirrors mounted on your doors......... You ought to look into them............. Literally.............. 😂😂😂😂😂
I like my camera for trailer connection but I can do with out it easily 😮
The camera is good for checking for children in blind spot.
You should walk around the vehicle to verify firsthand rather than rely on even a camera. @@twoody9760
Would you do a video on the most reliable trucks?
he cant he just named basically all the trucks lol nissan toyota dodge chevy gmc ford lol not much left to choose from
I'm on my 4 ram never let me down normal maintenance and 1 recall on my 2010.. I can't believe they have a lot problems
Electrical gremlins have plagued Dodges for decades. I can atest to that! I will NEVER buy another Dodge truck or any Chrysler product. Horrific resale value, as well. Everybody I know who bought a Dodge regretted it.
What year(s) did you have tho?
@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit 1994 and a 2010. Both were lemons that rattled and sparked. Rode like hell, too.
Had my transmission replaced at 48000 in my 2020 ram 5.7 Laramie
the oil consumption problem with the 5.3 has absolutely nothing to do with the piston rings or valves! They didn't smoke new. It is because of the fuel management system. If you run the oil too low, too many times, you will get worn piston rings, but they didn't cause the problem
That's why I bought my 2021 toyota tundra.
If dodge is such junk why so many on the road as hotshot haulers. This video is totally false.
I have one and it's not great for towing or hauling. When you are doing hotshot you can pass the cost of a bad vehicle on. I have a 1st gen for regular hauling and towing. It doesn't have the power compared to the new one, but it's never let me down yet that's something for a 33 year old truck.
Cheap!! Loans !! Cheaper than the other 3 big guys..And Hemi name!!! That's all...
Not near as many sold as Ford and Chevy.
I just need a truck.If I wanted a Mercedes Benz,I know where the dealership is located
Ram is horrible of the 3 in all honesty, Ford, right in front of it. Even the 22 Ram, crew cab dually 6.7 with all the bells, towing 15-17k daily, went through 2 transmissions before the 3rd went out (after towing a few hundred miles it would shift very hard and slip, but they didn't have any replacement in the entire country), just got rid of it day after Thanksgiving last year. Huge loss. Never buying another Dodge or Ford, at least New one, ever again. Duramax with the Alison, now that's a winner!
Might Not ? !!!
You can make that statement about any vehicle !
They all got good and bad things wrong with them. They all. Ju8nk nowadays 60.000 dollars for a junkbox..
i had a 2015 ram 2500 and never had a single problem with it. other than normal wear and tear. tires, brakes and i put over a hundred thousand miles on it. and i used it to tow a fifth wheel rv. of course it had some rust being i live in the midwest got my son a 2013 ram 1500 it had only one issue warped manifold covers got them replaced the truck had 52 thousand now has 110 thousand. replaced the key fob. normal wear and tear tires brakes. lucky him he has to pay for his own maintenance.
Whoever chooses when to pop in the commercials needs to do a better job. To shove them in the middle of a subject or chapter is ridiculous.
And my neighbors and coworkers give me crap about NEVER giving up on my 92 GMC k1500 with the 350. Sure it's a throttle body, but I'm going to slap new performance heads, new intake and a big 4 barrel carb on top, install a mechanical fuel pump and msd ignition. Pretty much make it purely mechanical. Old school tech has been tested and proven reliable and easy/cheap to fix with pretty much no trouble shooting, especially since there's NO computers screwing everything up!!! Sure, rust is an issue, but replacement body panels is fairly cheap and there are so many aftermarket parts out there, options for customization are nearly limitless, plus it's got the SBC 350, you wanna compete with longevity with me???
Just putting shorty headers on, k&n air filter with air filter lid turned upside down got me from 9mpg to 16.5mpg at 65mph, which is ONLY 3mpg less than my 2019 f150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost. And after I add the additional performance parts to my 350, I'm going for efficiency and torque, so mileage will improve on the highway. Granted HP is going UP quite a bit, and that downside is abysmal mpg in the city. Once I get it all set up, I expect it will last another 25-30 years, with minimal issues, as it's all mechanical. No electrical gremlins to cause issues or failures.
2019 Ram v6 etorque all the truck youll ever need, love it.
I have been driving pickup for over 40 years and the best one is my 2020 dodge 4 wheel drive, rides better and handles better than any of my fords or chevy and I get about 20 mph with the hemi engine. Oh by the way I am 76 years old.
All I can say to you is good luck with that truck remember it's a Dodge the problems are just beginning
20 mph....that is pretty slow for a hemi.
It's especially disappointing to read of the problems with the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado, as this was the last year of that generation. I notice the 2023 and 2024 Colorado models aren't mentioned, possibly because those models are too new to have much of a track record. But I know those Colorado (and GMC Canyon) versions have a 2.7L turbo four that I'm curious to know about. I've heard conflicting reports about the reliability in the larger Silverado 1500. My gut feeling is that the 2.7L turbo-4 also has its share of problems. In any event, from what I've read, that turbo four is not only noisy but also thirsty for gas, which seems to me to defeat the purpose of a downsized engine. We shall see.
I have a Dodge ram ♈ 2500 16800 miles and snow plow truck a real workhorse 2014 and still going strong......
F250 5.0 1996 150,000+ 8ft bed two door a true work truck!!! Not mom's Taxi or grocery getter!!!
Dodge ram has ball joint failure also 😢😢😢
My 2001 uppers. Lowers still ok.
oh yeah my 2005 dodge ram 5.7 has 242k i just replaced the original ball joints i say they lasted a good while 19 years. and drives as smooth as butter
08 silverado. 155k miles and not a drop of oil consumption. Disable the AFM. Problem solved.
Replace ball joints and you'll be fine
Correct. Our company had a fleet of Ford 6.0. My co workers were broke down all the time. Luckily, I got one of the last 7.3's
I wonder how many of these stats come from the owners driving them like A-holes, and generally abusing them?
I don't know if you heard this pickup, Toyota Hilux(Vigo) 2.5L-3.0L...it's my favourite pickup. I live in southeast asia, so mostly this pickup are everywhere. it's rather reliable and powerful but can't compare to american trucks
93 s10 295 000. Still running
You need to add my 2020 F150 with 5.0L and 10 speed. From day one its using one quart of oil per 1,000-1,500 miles, The 5.0L engine started "pinging" under lite load at about 30,000 miles and after Ford dealer had my truck in the shop for a month they stated No Problems Found and the noise is normal. Now at 45,000 miles I still have the "pinging" under lite load and very poor shifting from the 10 speed during 2-4 gear shifts. I have been a Ford truck (F100, F150, F350 and E450) owner for 50 years plus and this is not your good old Ford truck.
I have a white buffalo, a 2007 f150 w the 5.4 liter triton that has been great...normal maint and replacement of faulty parts. Power steering pump, radiator, leaf springs. It starts in 40 helow without fail. At 133,000 miles it uses no appreciable oil
All made in usa ?
Yeah cheap junk 😢😢😢
he mentioned nissan and toyota as well
@@wildernessman760 Toyotas Tundras are made in Texas.
I have a 2023 Nissan Titan 5.6.. so far so good.. of course it has a 5yr./100k bumper to bumper warranty.. heard Nissan is having issues.. hopefully the company won’t go out before my warranty..
My buddy bought a mercedies. It used 1 ltr of oil every 60 miles
It's a bit of a stretch to say the 2001 tundra has issues as the truck is almost 24 years old!
Wish I still had my 65 ford f250. Keep it simple.
I have a 2019 Colorado. Garbage, it feels like every 2000 miles I have to bring it in for something going wrong.
Infotainment has gone twice.
Transmission slipping.
3rd ECM.
Dash lights randomly go out.
And the infotainment goes into dark or night mode even on bright sunny days, which makes it very difficult to read due to glare.
If you buy a Chevy you always buy full size
Our 2011 Colorado was crap too engine blew at 130k
If I were you I’d get rid of it and get a ford Maverick hybrid 40 city / 33 hwy (All wheel drive too)
Dodge/Ram have always had major issues. I would NEVER own one, only lease it and give it back before it becomes a bank-account-breaker! Waterfall depreciation was another issue with all of them.
How much does gm pay you guys. You never talk about what a pos their products are. The worst in the world
Wuggie, it is put out by an "EXPERT". A definition of an expert? They are just an ex. A spert is a drip under pressure!
Un half the video was about gm. Hows that pipe?
GM is the most consistently good brand out of the big 3
We have a 2013 Silverado with 305,000 miles original engine transmission replaced @ 200k and had a fuel acceptance issue
2014 Silverado 206,000 miles A/C condenser went out, Door had issue unlocking, PCV Valve went out recently and transmission went out at 189,800 but we never changed the fluid tbh that’s about it.
2018 Silverado 120,000 miles that just had its brake pads replaced for first time today
Chevy is pretty consistently reliable although I wouldn’t buy a 2019+
Looks like most of the quotes say " don't buy anything after 2004 models.
Add a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 it would drink a quart of oil in a thousand miles no problem. The Ford dealer change the dipstick to allow more and lose less. The 10-speed transmission didn't know what gear to be in. I sold it and got a ram and had the transmission replaced at 48000. I can't win.
