@Mike Rosen
I ride a bicycle.
I hope the F-150 gets rid of that mandatory auto start/stop that is a nuisance every time it's driven.
@Mike Rosen Scotty is just a hater who is all pro Toyota... Most REAL review companies (not Scottys opinions) rate Tundra and Titan under RAM Ford or GMC/Chevy. They go much more in depth with quality check. "I've been a mechanic for 50 years and I had a customer who had a bad Ram" doesn't make it a fact.
@@LiftingGunsBibleTradition check NHTSA facts, that'll give you pretty a good idea

That made me laugh.
Not really... Beer is for beginners.
I can smell the whisky on him.
Crazy to see how quality has shifted over the years. Had a 98 f150 with well over 300k miles. Was a beast! Had a 04 f150 and was in the shop every 3 months for engine issues.
Had a 98 and blew a headgasket and got rid of it. Have an 04 currently, and I've blown the heater core 3 times, among other issues. Lol
I sometimes have similar issues with my dad’s 2016 F350 that he has had for a few years. It’s had to go in for repair several times but only one was for anything engine related (emmisions sensor). The other times were for electrical issues (headlights had some bad wiring), AC issues (needed a recharge), or minor body work (fuel neck, tailgate trim, tires, etc). Otherwise it actually runs better than most of my dad’s trucks outside of his 2015 Tundra and his 87 Bronco (all of the other trucks are almost 30 years older than the 2016 F350 or the 2015 Tundra and all have issues even if they do run). Ironically almost all of my dad’s trucks are Fords. He has two other F350’s that are from 1990 and 1986 and an F450 from 1988 and all three have issues
04 was known as one of the worst f150s of all time. Had 16 recalls and that 5.4 triton was just a disaster
The 04 depends on the engine I’ve got the shitty little XLT V6 rwd, but it’s got about 200k miles and hasn’t had any serious issues.
@@garrylong2993The 5.4 wasn’t the problem, the fact it was a 3V is the issue
My brand new Ram
1- 16k miles replaced Transmission
2- 46k miles replaced thermostat
3- 46120 miles replaced thermostat again
@Bulldetectoryeah, noticed he specified the model. It’s probably cause most people by the gasser trucks. The diesels are in their own ballpark and are generally solid now, but I guess it depends on how you treat them.
Dude i love how he didnt milk the intro and just went straight into the content.
I'd prefer an incredibly loud techno song with a "yooooo guys welcome back I'm Scotty don't forget to like and subscribe.."
That’s because Scotty is old school 😎
That's Scotty, some of the only good content on TH-cam these days
Because he was born before 1990
Exactly. If a younger guy made this video it would have 100 jump cuts in it because of ADHD, and shitty humor that we probably wouldn't laugh at. I'm glad Scotty is on TH-cam!!

Just putting it out there, my uncle's had a Dodge Dakota for 15 years now, it's got well over 450K on it, and while not all the bells and whistles work anymore that thing has been nothing but reliable. He uses it as a truck should be used. Hauling things, towing things, it's not been gently used.
Just my experience.
Scottys old and still relates to dodges issues back in the 90’s. I know of nobody who actually OWNS one that has deep problems. I however will never buy another ford product. Something tells me old Scotty is getting paid to back those POS.
@@vulcanman64 exactly, all the things he talks about is wayy in the past.
My friends dad had one that didn't do anything but blow transmissions. If my memory serves we did 5 of em on that stupid truck, 2 within a year. Trash
@@natemartinez4595 I have had 3 Dodge Ram 1500s in my family. From 2005-2012. All 3 of them broke down at 60-90k miles. Tranny just went out. Garbage truck. So not sure why this guy is talking about the 90s they are still relevant problems!!! I’d love a brand new ram truck they are beautiful. But I’m not making the same mistake that all 3 of my uncles made.
Ik someone with a dodge dak sits with over 400 as well
One of the most honest guys on here, tells it like it is.

BEST PICK UP TRUCK
Scotty: Toyota Celica
He gets hard ons for fords
@Dawn Lemon Lol!!
A Celica with a truck bed
But only the 94 model
Has to be a 93 lol
Got a 14 ram with the 5.7 and 8 speed trans. Gets about 19.5 MPG average and the only reason I bought it was it's not the same junk transmissions they used to use, they are actually very reliable now as long as they're maintained, coming from a chevy guy. 115,000 smooth miles so far, many to come!
To be honest, they’re old transmissions were good. It’s just that dumb mechanics would put universal tranny fluid in em instead of the ATF+4 they’re designed to use. Guess reading is hard for mechanics.
Your truck is still new 😭
@@maxximusmiller5123 125k now lol
Do you tow with it?
@@davin397 not much at all really. 400 horse, shouldn't be much of a problem for what a light duty truck is expected to do though.

Scotty: yes

Hahahaha 🤣🤘
“Dodge v8 gets horrible gas mileage” few moments later talking about the f150, “well you don’t buy a truck for good gas mileage”.
A think there’s just a little bias here.
Not all V8s get the same MPG, but I also understand your point
Are you sure it's not because your Dodge fan LOL just got to bust your balls I see your point
Zack Allard I drove a 5.0 with the 10 speed and it averaged 21 mpg
Ron Sachanowski Actually I would rather have a f150. But fan wise I feel Chevy, dodge, and ford make good rigs, just depends on the year and model.
As for Scotty, like a lot of his videos, but laugh sometimes at his bias.
Eternal Thread is so think the f150 is the best, just noticing Scotty’s bias. That’s all.
5.2 is a strong engine 5.9 burns some oil but it’s still strong. My 4.7 had some issues that had to do with the previous owner, but it’s strong, 200k and you can still see the crosshatching on the cylinder walls. 5.7 hemi, fine has a couple of quirks but fine for the most part. Strong for the most part motors.
Yeah, I have a 5.2 from 2001, it’s been a solid for me. Though I inherited it a few years ago, it apparently had the computer go out and replaced and the same for the radiator. But aside from those things, it’s running decently. I’m planning to overhaul it a big for slightly more power. But mainly just use it for getting around with the occasional trailer tow.
I got a 2005 2500 ram with cummins. I have only had the passenger AC blower motor go out on it. That’s it with 350,000 miles. It’s been great!
Scotty: "find a mechanic like me"
Me: HOW?!

"Then they started to unimprove them."
I had a 1996 Dodge ram that had almost 300,000 miles on it when I sold it. I did have to get the transmission serviced at a little over 200,000, but the engines is still strong. I see it running around town still. Just traded my 2011 Ram that had 168,000 miles on it. It had the 5.7 hemi and the gas mileage was okay for a pickup. Averaged 20 mpg driving from Amarillo to Phoenix running between 75-80 to keep from getting ran over on I-40 section.
That older style 1996 to 2000 those are nice trucks the rest of them newer trucks rust out and are not reliable
I love my Chevy HD 2500 4 door with tow package - it's a 2003 and I had a couple of issue that were pretty inexpensive to fix. I haul a GN trailer with weekender package and up to two horses and it has 159,000 miles. I don't expect good gas mileage (wish I had bought a diesel but there were no diesel mechanics in my town at the time)..so it is what it is. I bought mine on the fleet side at Chevy..plain Jane with just air, power steering and power brakes. No carpet but it does have a radio, lol. It's a true long bed, 8 ft. Wouldn't trade it for the world and when the engine goes, I'll drop another in it and keep hauling. It still looks like new :)

Ram has 0% financing for 84 months, the challenge there isn’t making the payments, it’s having a working vehicle at the end of 7 years.
Not as hard as you think :D
I think this guy is biased af Dodge trucks have always been good so have Chevy trucks.
Not as hard as you think
If my family can get 18 years out of a 99 nissan altima driven across the country multiple times theres no reason you cant get 84 months out of ANY TRUCK. They are built to last.
Try buying a decent one. You'd be surprised.
My 08 silverado with the 5.3 has 250k and counting, it comes down to how well you maintain your vehicle most of the time.
That’s why I stick with the GMT400 body style. That TBI 350 won’t win races but it’s bulletproof reliable. Mine is 28 years old and never has a problem starting, and goes down the road smooth.
GMT800s are my personal favorites. Plasticky interiors but the first gen LS engine, 4 speed auto, and before everything got too complicated. They also ride like a dream.
I finally figured out why Scotty wears those sun glasses...he's stoned!
Maybe that...or it's so he doesn't jam a finger in his eyes while flailing his arms around.

Enjoying a Ram Ecodiesel. 27 mpg , 60k miles last year. Fantastic interior and 4WD performance.
Scotty I’ve had my 2017 F150 quadcab with 6speed transmission and 5.0 engine for 4 1/2 years now . I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Yes it still has relatively low miles at 98k but i changed the trans fluid at 60k and regularly change the oil at 7,500 miles. The best thing is it’s paid off with no payments😀 I’m hoping to keep it till the wheels fall off or I’m dead one! LoL I use it to regularly pull at Jon boat and 23ft travel trailer. It does a great job. My father in law just bought a new Tundra . It’s nice truck but he didn’t say what he paid for it. I was afraid to ask .😆 Great review on the trucks. I had a 2001 Dodge ram with 360 V8 years ago and it was pile of junk! Dealer worked on the tranny 4 times under the 150k warranty. The Dodge being worst don’t surprise me. Anyway I’m hoping to hold on to my F150 for long time. I hate to see the road Ford is headed down with recalls on vehicles though. I’ve always been avid Ford fan . If I bought a new truck I’m not sure I wouod go with Ford even though mine has been good to me so far. Trucks nowadays are getting to high tech for my liking. To many bells and whistles on them to break. I like the old saying. Keep It Simple Stupid

@an internet boi ? So I bet your a ram guy ain’t you
So is Ford.
@@user-vacgod2739 that’s for all trucks, anything past the mid 1990’s with a slim group of exceptions past that time- they lost the longevity they were all known for. granted you can make newer trucks last long too but nowhere near as good as them old trucks
My 19 Ram 1500 has been very good so far. Borderline excellent, but there was a warranty repair for a shift motor in the new model transfer case.
We must hide this man in the mountains where he'll be safe

Scotty, you are one of the few mechanics that I actually like listening to.
Of course he is
Scotty may be old, but he isn't the type of person to forget, he is the type that you meet and learn a ton from, so his stories can teach us all a ton about vihecles from his youth to now
Me to
Yup
Well if you like hearing cats fight then you will like this dude talk
My 2005 Ram truck has 314k miles and runs fine. Both engine and trans have done just fine. My 03 Jeep Liberty has over 200k miles and fires right up. It is also doing fine. I’m happy with my purchases.
I’d love to have a Ram from that generation honestly
@@guardian7773 I’ve developed a couple of issues I need to look at. I’d say if you don’t beat the snot out if one of these trucks it’s good for 20 years.
Surprised the Titan is below the Tundra. They're pretty similar trucks, but a cousin of mine seems to always be dealing with mechanical issues with his Tundra where I on the other hand have had basically zero issues with my 04 Titan. Scotty was damn right about them having a solid engine and trans. Those trucks are tough as hell. Only problem I had to deal with is cracked manifolds, but what Titan doesn't eventually deal with that issue? Can literally install a set of headers yourself, problem solved. Also, I hate to be that guy, but I definitely feel having dodge and chevy especially at the bottom of the list, was the right call. A friend of mine owns a 1500 Silverado and that thing is one problem after the other. They fall apart easily and the thing gets stuck everywhere it goes seems like. Had to pull him out several times with my Ranger already. I have to mention though that the newer model dodge and Chevrolet pickups look pretty badass in appearance. So I have to give them credit for that.
The consumer: Chevy, your trucks suck, fix the engines and transmissions!!!
Chevy: I know! Let's make a tailgate that transforms!!!
elfpimp1 The fuel management system that shuts down 4 of the cylinders to save gas is causing a lot of engine and transmission problems. Worst part is you only gain a few mpgs. Fortunately they have devices to keep in in V8 mode that plug into the obd port. Some people say it helps with the oil burning problem in the higher mileage Chevy trucks.
@@CouchMan88 I know, but still thanks for the post. I had to deal with that system ever since Car2Go started using the newer Mercedes.

Thank you , sir. Very good information. It's going to be the V8 F-150 for me. Been going back and forth with the Toyota Tundra. Both seem like excellent trunks though.
Love the advise. These big companies rely on people who don't do there research or are simply are not mechanical inclined. You'll be saving customers a ton and costing these crappy automakers alot in the process.
Dodge has made pickups since 1929. Just because they didn’t call them Rams until later doesn’t mean they didn’t make trucks.
And people forget about Dodge trucks during WWII - they pretty much dominated the war.
How many dodges do you see from the 50s 60s & 70s?
@@kenrobinson1099 that was jeep?
@Shenanigans
Unfortunately, people who were not alive before Jeep became a Chrysler product, don’t know that Dodge had nothing to do with manufacturing the Jeeps that were like little indestructible vehicles and believe me the GI’s did their best to destroy them when they first arrived in the war!!!
This phenomenon is no different than politicians who have Bever been in an actual civics class, never learned anything about world history prior to Vietnam, and think they know more about why the Constitution was written in the late 1700’s than the people who wrote the Constitution in the first place!!!!
No the old dodge trucks were military style work trucks, the ram was designed to compete with the ford f series and GM's c and k series.
Someone should hire this guys to make a line of cars and trucks that are high on quality, low cost/repair and good performance that looks ok

Was toyota. Now they are expensive

Very informative - I want to buy a used truck and was thinking about the 2019 Ram - and after seeing this and some other reviews from actual owners and the problems that you have mentioned here being consistent, I am on pause.

@@thebigbucktheory5488 thanks for the advice. I actually went to look at it, ready to buy cause the frame looked solid and the alternator was shot. So couldn't test drive. Said they would call me when it was fixed. Never called me. And now they dropped it $200 more. Either it's a sign that it should be mine or there is something really wrong with it. Truck is clean though. My wife wanted it too.

Got my first Ford ever--'17 F-150 with the 3.5 EB. Love the truck. However, you're right on with the hi-tech engine causing problems. I ran into the cam phaser issue and had it repaired twice already. I wish I would've gotten the same truck with the 5.0L Coyote!
How about the Ford raptor
I got a 17 with the 2.7. I work it like a dog everyday. 176000 and the only problem has been low tires
@@hillbillysceptic1982 Yep, heard the 2.7 is a much better motor. I'm leaning towards getting a Tundra now.
@@hillbillysceptic1982 I have a 19' 2.7 with the 10 speed transmission. Love the power that little engine provides, great riding truck. Dont really care for all the shifting it does but have not had any issues and has 75,000 miles on her.
I have a 2018 Ram 1500. It's been great. Gas mileage is okay, low 20s on the highway doing 75 to 80. Probably 15 mpg around town.
Handles great, has excellent pick up, and the interior is comfortable with lots of the controls being easy to access and operate.
I hope the F150 gets rid of the mandatory auto start/stop that a person has to turn off every time it's driven.

Spot on! I’ve been a auto tech for 30 years and have the exact same opinion on level of trucks.
Ford guy myself but admit Ford did and does have some issues with a few models but nothing like the others in comparison!
I got a 2004 Dodge Dakota SXT. It seems pretty good to me. Family that had it owns and sells lots of Dakotas and has their own service shop where they fix up and maintain cars. They even have a 2002 Dakota RT they bought new in 2002 and have only put 1k miles on in 20 years! Hopefully it goes well. It has a minor exhaust leak and some lights that need fixing but that's not a huge deal. If anything goes wrong I plan on putting the V8 in it. Fun truck and I love the size since you can see really well out the back.
Dakotas are the worst trucks in the world.
"Over there aways" points to San Antonio.
Pretty close, considering how big Texas is.

My grandfather was a Ram fan. He had a tire and repair business. He would put over 500,000 before changing out. Never a major repair. Routine maintenance is key. I've always had them throughout my adult life and never a major problem.
i get about 17-19 mpg city and 19-21 freeway with ram. as much as i love my ram, scotty is right that these things can break when pushed. my header bolts r cracked and my aux for my phone stopped working after 3 years. made me put in a bluetooth touch screen radio after that. other than that, everything is running as it should given you keep up with the maintenance
F150s and Tundras already increasing in price on Craigslist ...
F150s are cheaper than Tundras. I saw an 06 F150 with 120K miles for 5K. An 06 Tundra with 120K miles would go for 10K+ lol
Shelly Kennedy they always been high in price
There are rusty frame Tacomas with 300k miles for like 6k dollars, which is just stupid. Hype and perception take things a little too far at times.
Get your facts straight first before you make anymore stupid comments
I am Tundra's fan. Just bought a 2rd Tundra 19. The first one 2011 is very reliable with no repair cost, only routine maintenance.
Scotty is that guy you know who tells every short story long.
My 2002 Ram 1500 with the 5.9 magnum gas engine has 470,000 miles on it. Now I had to get a new tranny 30k miles back and injectors and a new radiator but besides that, she still runs strong. Agree to disagree Scotty
I have a 2004 Hemi 1500 and a 2005 Hemi 2500 and both are over 200,000 miles. I've owned them a long time and both still run like new with their original engines and trannies but when Dodge went to the MDS (around 2006), their reliability tanked.
I love my 2017 ram 1500 5.7 hemi, has tons of power ,rides nice ,great features , love the way it shifts and rides ,I do all the maintenance on my truck from suspension to motor work , the only thing I don't do is transmission repair, the zf transmission fluid is realy exspensive ,but with multi fluid it's all good ,plus I can pick up a zf transmission with 20 to 30 thousand miles for 2 or 3 grand...I've head chevy, I've had ford I've had toyota, I've had them all...no power in any of them...not like the hemi....but my next truck will be a ..................... ♈ Truck again ,for life
If you like the Hemi you'll really love the Cummings Diesel!
Can you please do one on small to midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma
He already did
@@alexisluna8740 the guy probably wants a new/updated vid.
Frontier is the best bang for your buck in the small truck segment.

yep, I have a 2000 F250, still runs great. I was looking at getting a newer truck but....the prices....whew! too expensive.
You get what you pay for. Look at dodge, cheaper and it shows! Get a new used certified ford!
please tell us what parts you have replaced on your F250 Cam phasers, timing chain,60$ spark plugs that don't come out Yeah LOL Fords are ( Air haulers) America buys Dodge Cummins) to work look in any walmart parking lot you'll see trailers behind Dodges Ford are always pretty and look like they never worked a day.
@@AmericanSurvival001 you see more fords on the road than dodges. Dodges are more of a company car because they are cheaper. You get what you pay for.... and notice how you see no NEW dodges on the road because no body wants them. But i see new fords left and right.
@@AmericanSurvival001 if america buys dodge then why does ford sell twice as many trucks with less reported shop time?
Scott wads At 170,000 miles I replaced the plastic top part of the engine which cost about $800. I replaced two coil packs and two spark plugs. Other than brakes and tires I’ve done no other major maintenance on the vehicle of course I do regular oil and transmission fluid changes as part of the basic maintenance. So I’ve been really pleased with the truck overall. Thanks for asking.
My question…how do you feel about cam phazers in the Fords? Is it only the v6 or is it also the v8? I’m looking to buy a truck for hauling my 40’ camper.
I have a 06 dodge mega cab with over 200,000 miles on it. other than the infamous death wobble I had it's been good to me. I've dogged this thing and it carried me every step of the way! I love this thing! my 03 avalanche is what gave me hell.
Scottys wife cheated on him with a ram owner 😂😂😂
Dade350 Dade dodge the father ram the daughter lol or they really do just suck
I think so, or a Fiat owner. Lord knows he talks down to her like she's been sleeping around.
Dilly Dally lmaoo
Sounds about right lol he just bags down on ram.
that's because he's a real man. a real man drives an american truck, not an old japanese sports car wannabe.
I seem to remember the little “Datsun” truck they use to make. I don’t see them any more, But I thought they worked well.
That's because Datsun is made by Nissan. They gave up the name until a few years ago. Now they make "Datsun" stuff in developing and emerging markets
I had one it was great. It wasn’t pretty or fast, but it was tough
They were good until the frame rusted in half. My grandpa has a diesel one that got put on a lift and the frame rusted in half
@@jaydancraven1117 that usually has to do with where you live, lake state or canada im guessing
Lucas Mills in Nebraska but yeah totally agree nothing is stronger than oxidizing metal. My grandpa said it had 300k miles on it. It sits in a pasture with the box against the cab. I wasn’t Alive when it was running...
Dude, your video was fantastic. I absolutely love your personality. You seem like the kind of guy I could talk to you for hours about anything. Also you changed my mind on some truck things 🫡 great video. Thanks for the share my friend!
I have a ram that I love, love the seating, the layout of the features, it's an '05 and that turd 4.7 dumped the heads twice after 98000 miles I'm at 114000 now, if I were to swap the motor and trans what recent combo would you choose?
I’d swap the whole thing for a Toyota. 🤣
@@vincedibona4687 wow 11 subscribers, did you get mawmaw and your sister to subscribe too.
Haha, love that question
Glad to see the Titan on this list! From what I’ve read, they’re as good as the Tundra. But they look better! Should be picking up a loaded 21 Titan this week!
Did you pick up that Titan and if so, do you like it?
@@shannonsalgado5357 I did. Nice truck! Space, comfort and power. Mine has a passenger seat rattle that I might have to visit the dealership for but otherwise it’s great. Doesn’t help roads where I live are awful…
@@shawng4886 how many miles when you bought it and what year/trim? I’m looking to trade in my 2018 F150 and like the Titan. Used to have an Armada.
@@shannonsalgado5357 2021 Pro4X fully optioned with 13k. Got it for $50k out the door
Had a titan 3 shortblocks installed but maybe just a legend
Toyota Celica pickup truck is #1, wow, thanks Scotty!!
Haven't tried an F-150 but borrowed a RAM 1500 and it was SO fun to drive. Felt great suspension wise and accelerated so quick, loved it. Ultimately went with a Tacoma though cuz I want reliability not headaches every few miles lol
Toyota trucks last for OVER 1 MILLION MILES. Absolutely heroic car company.
you should buy an F150 then
Tacoma sucks on the inside, i feel like i am sitting on the floor.
@@pavelkarpenko8713 after driving the RAM it definitely did feel like that lmao
@@pavelkarpenko8713 that’s good because i struggle with headroom being 6’5, but they should definitely make an option to raise it up a few inches
Good stuff Scotty,,!!!
I’ve owned 7 ram trucks. 5 with diesel. 2 with the hemi 5.7 and 6.4. Love them. Good fuel mileage out of all of them. My 2021 6.4 gets 12mpg pulling a 8,500 lb horse trailer.
At least my Nissan Titan had a decent rating from Scotty. I’m pleased about that.
Nissan titan 05😎
I feel like the Titan is the most underrated of all the trucks, a lot of reviews I see from Titan owners tend to be something along the lines of being a big Ford/Chevy/Dodge person but once they owned the Titan they'd never go back
Am I the only complaining about the gas in the Nissans trucks smh lol
I would buy a Nissan Titan they are decent Trucks, that's would be my third option, after a Tundra, a F150 or a Titan. If I seen a Titan with 💯 thousands miles I wouldn't think it & buy it...
@@nenezaze3252 mines 05 has 292k everything smooth no shaking or knocking
Scotty: Dodge Ram engine and trans are piles of junk.
Also Scotty: The hemi is a decent engine.
Jonathan Dougherty the older dodge engine are bulletproof
Dodge transmission is bad
Dodge transmission is actually good the older one of course ford transmission and some GM is not
dominic reynolds The 2016+ Ram 1500 uses the infamous ZF 8 speed used in tons of other cars. It’s pretty much agreed by everyone to be a great trans.
The manual transmissions in the heavy duty trucks are relatively problem free
I bought a 2012 F150 a few years ago, I couldn’t believe how nice the suspension was. It drives like a car, I love it! I’ve put 70k miles on it and the only issue I’ve had was the fuel pump, great truck!
Thanks Scotty for making these videos, What year ford truck would you get based on these parameters: I need to tow at least 10K pounds, probably 12-14K once in a while, Crew cab, 4x4 Budget under $16K
Despite what he says I’ve always had Rams all my life and they never failed me guess I got lucky.
I drive 60k miles a year and have had them all them and agree with him 100%. Ram is the only one i will not buy again no matter how great a deal i think it is. At the same time you see rams with 300k+ miles all the time.
My dad had like three rams and they have all failed them
Him*
Do you drive gassers? I know other than the transmission the diesels are pretty solid.
Ours has a million electrical gremlins
Finally, someone that gets it. I have 2007 F-150 that I'm still driving today. It has minimal rust and the most problems I ever had to deal with is changing out the alternator, replacing the battery, and oil changes.
Any car will last a long time if you take good care of it
@@Coach_Shiner lol unless ur dodge
@@hrlkt3413 or a Jeep, or a Chrysler, or a Fiat lol
Always appreciate your work. We love our F150.
Thank you for the video!
This is the fairest list, Nissan is truly third, they’re above ram and gm for reliability but not quite for above Toyota and Ford
Really? My family friends company switched from f150s to silverados because transmissions and rear ends kept breaking...3 Silverado v6s with over 200k 9 silverados in the whole company
Nissan better than GM lol not according to REAL reliability and review reports! Not even close.
Chevy will kick that pos Nissan in the trash lol.
Jonny G what year
Cammed LS too bad the Chevy would probably break before it even got the chance
My 05 Ram is still running like champ.
so is my 06. 200k
03 ram 5.7 with 260,000 original trans and engine
My dad just recently got rid of his '06 with 230k. Original everything.
My dad's 2003 ram is still running strong at 370,000 miles. We have the 4.7 engine, and still regularly tow mowers. These trucks are good.
Congrats. Mine seized under 100k.
Scotty, I have a 2010 Nissan Titan with 203k miles. So far, all I've done is change the oil on schedule. Zero mechanical problems whatsoever. Still runs like a champ. I expect to reach 300k miles. I've never swapped any parts at all.
is it mechanic Friday and you’re giving one away??!!??
haha ;)
Scotty! Just got to watch the vehicle manufacturer slogan video! That was some good stuff man! Haha.... Keep up the good work pal love the videos!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your knowledge from many years of experience but my wife says you like the Fords so much cause you are more acquainted with them in your shop. And you must be able to afford their huge price!
Ive got a 1994 Ford F-150 XLT with a 5.0 V8 with 225,000 miles and it shifts smooth and has good decent power despite the age and mileage. Great freaking truck in my opinion.
That 5.0 liter was one of the best motors ever built!
@@LA_Commander I agree lol
All my family are Chevy owners and swear by Chevy. I went with a F150 and I love it! From the way it rides and handles to the interior and body style. I love my F150!
Same Always owned gm had one ford bought in dec 2000 a 2001 f150 supercrew 4x4 lariat still a good truck 311 k Moral of story ford or chevrolet leave the dodges where they belong in the junkyard T H A N K J U N K D O D G E
@@robtans5042plenty of diesel dodge rams out there doing hard work
@@ChrisB-cx6td They dont have to do any work for me. I didnt want a diesel anyhow wanted gas engine ford or chevrolet. Any publication that reviews chrysler stuff gives bad reviews.Not meant as a personal insult. Greyhound said leave the driving to them I will leave junk with chrysler. They are just about where American motors were when they went belly up
@@robtans5042 Gm and Ford also produce Junk .
Remember the 5.4 Ford? or Gm Terrain /Envoys that are well know to grenade at 100k with bad oil consumption .Plenty of recalls on those 2 brands
. Have a Ford 3.5 with the internal driven chain water pump. Left me stranded decided to blow up at a stop sign . Fixed it works fine / its paired with the ford /gm transmission what a nightmare 2 incompetent companies
@@ChrisB-cx6td Yeah man I got a 5.4 2v I bought new in dec 2000 A 2001 f150 supercrew lariat with 311 k on it. Had a intake gasket replaced in 2018 and an alternator replaced and then general maintenance. Yeah you right that truck is not a junk dodge its been reliable. Only ford I have ever owned in my 62 years. Just like police cruisers I done that job for 36 years. Best cruisers for reliability were the crown vics. Best handling cruisers caprice. Worst cruisers always with about anything from brakes to transmissions even engines guess what J U N K D O D G E as jack webb use to say Just the facts maam
Watching this as I am sitting in a borrowed Silverado, because my Ram is getting another engine.
Serious? What mileage? Whats wrong with it?
Lower hose blew and it burned the engine up. Temp guage never showed it over heating. 230, 000 miles that was rebuilt at 170 k miles. I guess you can say I have gotten my miles out of that vehicle.
I'm a Ford guy but the hemi is the best gas truck engine made. Even Scotty agreed a few months ago. Now he's complaining about gas mileage?
The newer ones get 15-20mpg. Great for a full sized truck with that much power. Toyota will never have those kind of numbers. Meanwhile Ford is adding turbos or variable cam timing, which is great until 150,000 miles. Then then engines cost a fortune to fix if something goes wrong.
Time will tell on the 5.0, but for now I'll take an f150 with a hemi.
@@bradleythomsen3083 The Hemi is a good engine designed by Mercedes, but its not the best gas engine. Toyotas 5. 7 is by a landslide. Hemis have lifter failures due to low oil flow.
I never understood the roller failures. I left a reply on another comment, I have a 2010 Dodge Ram with 321k miles on it and the only ticking I’ve ever heard was at 110k when I had to replace my manifolds. People can’t take care of their damn trucks and don’t change the oil. I use standard Mobil 1 5w20 and change every 5000 miles and have had none of these issues. I’d be so pissed off if I was an auto manufacturer, because most criticism of engines is due to poor maintenance.
Glad you think so, I worked in a dealership.
One Era the emergency brake would stick.
Another the firewall on f150, s carwah or heavy rain the water runs down firewall causes corrison all kinds of electrical grommets occur
Timing is everything. My Uncle bought a 4 door Dodge pick up at some time during the 60's. A little ahead of their time. It did not sell well.
Scotty: the best truck is a 94 Toyota Celica with removed trunk lid.
I'll take a boxy pickup from the 1970s or 1980s.
I used to have a ‘78 Ford F-100, I sure miss that thing!
I bought a 1996 Dodge brand new. I have bought a few more in the last 20+ years and had no issues at all with them. The last one I bought was a 3500 single cab but unfortunately due to my late wife having cancer she had difficulty getting in and out. I still have my 96 1500 though and it has over 300,000 miles on it. I did have to change out the O2 sensors and high pressure governor but thats it! I drive it every day!
I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 360 cu in I have had it for 5 years now. ZERO ISSUES And one comfortable rig. It also has extended cab, full 8 ft bed.
My two little dogs love it too. I love everything about the rig period.
Any questions?
Wouldn’t buy a RAM, unless it’s got a Cummins in it.
Clark McLean lol just take the Cummins out and put it in a Ford
Chef Bojack waste of money
Clark McLean AMEN
I want a cummins swapped minivan no seats and a cage
I wont buy a fuckin truck if it doesnt have a cummins in it.
