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

I wouldn’t even buy iT!! Unless its a Toyota tundra!!
Scotty Kilmer finally a video without the celica ! It's nice that you like it but if you mention it in every video it gets monotone ! Mention it but not that often , that will make your videos way more interesting
Scotty kilmer In Australia we have a Holden/cev Colorado it's a 4cyl turbo diesel and they can tow 3.5 tone and they are a very good car for towing and overall driving, not all 4 cylinder utes are that bad in my opinion
Chevy makes the best trucks everyone knows it.
The 4 cylinder Chevy is a turbo all they did was traded off the 2 cylinder for the turbo. I've been noticing alot of manufacturers doing that. Like Nissan they got rid of the v6 option for the Altima and made a 4 cylinder turbo. All in all I think all these turbo vehicles are gonna fail sooner to keep people buying new cars every 4 years or so since quality has gone down hill across the board, and manufacturers only care about is profits. Not all are bad, some are better then others.
*The Scotty Kilmer channel checklist, one of these quotes has to be in the video otherwise it isn't legit;*
1.) "They are endless money pits (as they age)"
2.) "Buy a Toyota....."
3.) "When Fiat bought Chrysler...⚠️"
4.) "When Renault merged with Nissan..⚠️"
5.) "These are garbage..."
6.) "Zippy little sports cars.."
7.) "Honda started out as a motorcycle company..."
8.) "These CVT's are notorious for breaking down..."
9.) "Change your oil every ... thousand miles (regardless of what they say)"
10.) "It's cheaper to make them this way..."
11.) "Honda makes weak automatic transmissions"
12.) "GM's quality (control) is going down..."
13.) "I'm not a fan of the...."
14.) "Back in the day when I was a young mechanic in the 60s..."
15.) "Never buy a car that was..."
16.) "....$ Is nothing for a car these days."
17.) "Drive it until the wheels fall off."
18.) "I'm cheap.."
19.) "They keep perfecting them for years and years..."
20.) "Try to find an (honest) mechanic like me..."
"I've been a mechanic for 51 years".
“Go with a standard transmission”
You forgot, "I've been working on cars for 51 years"
"With a fancy Scan Tool"
So he keeps on repeating what he says. Sounds like solid knowledge to me.
I’ve never seen a mechanic that encourages people to buy better vehicles so that he has less business. What an awesome guy.
Have you ever seen him do an actual major repair on a vehicle ? All I've ever seen him do are simple driveway type repairs .
@@HowardJrFord If I remember correctly years ago he posted a video about him. If I remember correctly he worked for a shop owned by his father, then started his own mechanic shop that he ran for years. Then retired, sometime after he retired he started doing youtube videos. I think he wrote a book or 2 in the 90's on tips of buying cars.
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
He Is not in the busniess of fixing cars. He is in the busniess of making CZcams videos
F.I.A.T. = FIX IT AGAIN TONY
Coiled Steel Fiat is older than Ford Fix Or Repair Daily Scotty can be dumb
Futile Italian Attempt at Transportation
F.O.R.D FIX OR REPAIR DAILY
@Ruben O. do you know what a ford is
@Ruben O. Yo the fact is every new truck that comes out from Ford Ram or Chevy, are reliable, and if they do break then YOU got unlucky.
IMO though RAM's look the best, sound the best, perform the best, and are the most reliable.
If YOU think otherwise then congratulations, because YOU just discovered opinions and if you want to prove ME wrong, then comment WITH FACTS from CREDIBLE SOURCES.
My mechanic buddy says Dodge Rams are his favorite. Why? Because he makes more money on these trucks then any other.
p47rr i have 3 Rams, 2 of em are 1500’s and 1 2500, and guess what, with the proper maintenance they will last, and all three are over 150,000 miles now
Fabian Delgado yea my cousin says the same I do believe him he takes care of his 1500 loves that thing to death and she runs like a dream ive driven it... but anyways his is a 2013 so I guess he got it pre fiat problems
@@fabiandelgado7321 yep got 160k on the 2500 our 3500 540k sold it the guy is still driving it our new used 3500 has 240k on it pulls a 25 ft 10ton trailer every day of it's life
I worked for a company and we had 2 ram 2500s an 1 3500. They never saw the highway, drove in the same neighborhood doing yardwork and plowing. 2009, 11 and 13. None of them could go more than 3 months without needing work, starting the day they were bought. One had constant wiring harness issues and transmission programming problems, it went to the dealer twice a year for weeks at a time and just like he said they never fixed much, they let it sit for up to two weeks at a time just to punish us for sending it back. Once they said the trans was in limp mode because we installed rear axle air bags. The other two had tranny malfunctions requiring a tow within the first five years. All three had driveline issues constantly, mostly in the front end. They used wheel bearings, axle hubs and steering system components at insane rates and every single job took twice as long as it should. The two fords we had that were 2003 and 2007 needed shop time at probably one tenth of the rate until the 03 was about 13 years old when it started to really age and even then it was half of what the dodges saw. All the trucks had the same use and upkeep. They guys I worked with that ran their own rams all got rid of them, except for one who could afford to buy new, for other brands because they were dealing the same things. Not trustworthy, no support.
j carry b
I didn't grow up working on cars and the most I ever saw my dad do was change the oil or a tire.
Now that I've started to pay attention to my car these videos are really helping me make up for lost time.
All companies are going cheap on everything but the price is going really high then your putting a lot more in repairs
Even those of us Scotty included still learn new things every day. Learn all you can to save yourself some money and get educated to.
Jamie Todd if you’re still learning don’t watch these guys videos they’re stupid and not helpful man just leave this crap
@@clutchin7017 I have firsthand experience that proves they _are_ helpful, so you are wrong.
true dat!!!! Same here! Well said!!!
I had a 2002 dodge ram 1500 that truck had 289,000 miles on it when I traded it in and still had the factory transmission. The only problem I had was the fender rot that almost all dodges have. If you keep up on the fluid changes and all the other mateience and wash it on a regular basis then there should not be any issues.
In 2007, I bought a 2003 RAM 1500. I just rebuilt the original transmission at 247K miles, and the engine was rebuilt at 207K miles. I didn't have any rust problems, but maybe that is because I live in Nevada and the humidity is almost non-existent here.
I have heard many people bashing the 3rd Gen Dodge RAMs during the years, but in my experience, they will be dependable vehicles if you properly maintain them.
He just makes these videos to rile people up
My 2003 1500 had 279k miles on it. Only issue ever was the broken dash.
I’ve got a 2008 ram 1500 but so far all I’ve had to do is general maintenance and the brakes
I think back in the days, they were building them much stronger.
Does anybody else watch scotty's videos, eagerly waiting for the end, hoping he doesnt call out your car? Cant only be me 😂
I wouldn't listen to this channel if you do any research about his favorite brand ford you'll find that they blow engines around 30k miles like nothing and everyone knows about the exploders ive had 2 chevy suv's both well over 200k miles closer to 300k i blew one (user error) the other im still driving no problems
@@oldirtyguru7004 dont get all political. It was just a joke. We all know theres lemons and bad cars in every brand. Were all here with the same interest afterall
@@packers97100 political?? I'm just saying he doesn't fix cars he put band aids on serous problems shortcut fixes that will end up getting someone killed
@@packers97100 he's not a person to listen too
@@oldirtyguru7004 okay Karen, I wont listen to him
I didn't know that about the 2019 Rams... you might have saved me $35,000 worth of frustration.
I like my 2016 eco diesel but it has nothing but issues. I will be trading soon. I would avoid.
I have a 2015 hemi ram 1/2 ton outside of normal maintenance all I've had to do was replace the front struts. Truck currently has 105,000 miles.
Get a ford or Toyota for work they won’t give you issues. Chevy , Honda and Nissan for the street. Avoid Ram.
Trust me run while you can!!!!!
I have an 06 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. 235k rins like a charm
Saw a 2nd gen ram in the thumbnail and I was trigged LMAO.
haha me too lol. Cummins is the best!!!
Me toooo
Even the gassers are good
I had a 2nd gen with 170k and nothing was wrong with it
Haha me too....wanted to see if he would say anything about the 24v cummins, I have a 2000 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9l cummins and has 251k on it....not a single problem with the engine tows great but the frame and body just rusts too quick
If your truck won’t last 100k miles, something is wrong.
Yea the engineering behind it 😂😂
Yeah, it's sitting too much and being abused when it is run. Trucks like to be worked like a truck daily.
Yeah. There's more hours of idling on the engine than there is miles. When my engine is running its moving. I never let it idle
Cherokee should have been sold with a spare transmission
@suny123boy1 clearly you've never understood the difference between city miles and highway miles.
I'll forgive chevy for putting a 4 banger in the Silverado if they throw a 6.2 in the Chevy spark that we can buy
Hemi
I know, it's a joke!! I've been wanting a truck for years now and I'm finally ready to buy one. But I refuse to buy a 4 cylinder truck.
@@kimbershark that’s the new one not the old one 15-19 250hd and 3500hd, 1500hd 16-18 and older don’t have a 4 cylinder engine
I love dodges. As long as I do my maintenance, I always get more than 200,000 miles out of a dodge. Truth.
I mean my 2005 has 220k on it and it's never given me any real problems. Still runs string and I use it to work
@@thebondoman my 92 had 196K when i wrecked it my 02 4.7 has just shy of 150k with few issues.
2003 Dakota that's still in near mint condition. Only problem it ever had were the ball joint issues they had on these and Durangos but it was fixed under warranty. That 4.7 still runs strong.
Best trucks ive ever had
I had a 2010 2500HD/5.7 Hemi with 180k trouble free miles. Sold it a few months ago for more than I paid for it! I think that was the best truck Dodge built in the past 40 years.
1992 Ford ranger STX 4.0L 300,000 miles and still running it doesn't want to die
Mine is motor knock when first start and oil fine
I have a 2000 4.0 that had 234,000 on it when I bought it. I knew it was going to need a new motor when I got it. The dumb person who had it before me neglected to change the oil. I'm sure it would still be running strong today if only they would have just changed the oil.
THATONE KIDISBACK got a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT with 135k miles and run's great.
97 Ranger 325,000. Still moving well.
Do a couple neutral drops should help!
My 1996 Dodge Ram pick up has been really reliable and seen a lot of years. 433k miles and still going strong. When Chrysler made the first and second gen Dodge trucks, they were the toughest and strongest trucks in the market. The one bad thing about the second gen is the cracked dash. Dodge and Chrysler couldn't recall that crap
Dustin you just keep believing that you will go to heaven lol
I'm have ram 1500 5.2 96 257k no problem engine an trasmisión.good good
5.9 or 5.2?
Damned dash! Haha
My 2001 Dodge Dakota sport has 211k and still runs like new and powerful
Mines a 2000 and it's at 281k. So I can vouch for u fam
423k when I upgraded. Same motor
@@michaelmchugh4186 holly jeebus. What did u upgrade too?
Mine has 349k its amazing that it’s still runs good but I’d give it 1yr or 15,000miles
@@jeremiahfry6799 nah fam. Itll last longer. You just have to keep her maintained properly
if your looking for a truck, get you a 2015-2020 F-150, you won’t be let down.
just don’t get the eco boost!
Ashton Matejka 5.0💪
100,000 on my 2015 2.7 no issues
Yea F150 or tundra for me. Both are solid
Someone did their homework absolutely I have a 2019 F-150 3.3 V6 Sport model very pleased stay away from vehicles that have fuel management systems fairly new technology and are causing engine failures I have auto/stop feature but I disabled it
Nobody:
Scotty: Want a truck that last long huh? *Just get a Celica bro.*
He's gonna put the Celica on Craigslist for $100k "undestructible Celica and bullet proof with low miles" 😂😂
Get a Ford bro 😂👌
@LibertyIsDead yes please!
Get a 95 Honda civic put a 5.9 cummins in with tow mirrors bigger tires...
Datsun.620
The best truck to buy it’s the 1994 Toyota Celica it goes over 3,000,000,000,000 miles without changing the oil
😂😂🤣🤣
Actually it's a car with a strange but cool body style
It's sad that they don't make it anymore.
@@charbelsassine3592 yeah
And the 234k miles on it isn't THAT great.
The silverado/sierra 4cyl turbo is the new base engine replacing the 4.3 v6. It is mainly for fleets and retired guys that will likely never load them beyond 20% capacity
Retired guys pull a lot of big boats and big trailers.
In the 1980's, I had a co-worker who drove a Ford Ranger with over 350,000 miles and it still ran really nice; with the exception of the paint finish being slightly faded everything else was in great condition and even the clock worked.
I agree 100% with your thoughts on the 4 cylinder engine in a half ton truck. What the hell are you thinking Chevy?!
If you tow once a decade I can see them lasting. If you use your truck as a truck tho, who knows.
there no chance those engines wont be a problem right out of the gate. what even crazier it isnt the base engine, you actually have to pay extra for it...begging the question who is in the market for such a thing in the first place?
Nobody’s gonna buy that. If u buy a 1/2 ton pickup with a 4cyl engine, you can’t do truck things. U can’t haul, tow, etc. Too much strain on that POS. Now if it was a diesel, maybe ppl would buy it and it would be capable. Also, why would you want a yacht with a troll motor???
I am a HUGE Chevy fan and I also thought “what the hell are ya doing!!”
I got the 6.2L option in my 17 High Country best $2500 extra I spent
I own a 98 Chevy Silverado. It's a good truck. 230K miles. She runs strong and taken really good care of. The 88-98 chevy trucks were really good and reliable.
agreed..those were great years....350 and 4l60e transmissions and if i recall the body panels had extra corrosion protection..
I have a 1999 Tahoe still running strong
Andrew Schmitt Absolutely. Solid vehicles overall.
Im sure scotty would agree that the 88-98 trucks were/are awesome. My 94 and 95 have over 200k miles and still going hard. I think he lost faith in the new chevys which i get
Andrew Schmitt 99-02 tho
If they break. The companies are making money.Trend across many industries.
I've got a 99 Dodge Ram Diesel, 336K miles on it. I had the transmission rebuilt at 260k miles, its on its second Injection pump. It starts instantly when you turn the key and gets about 18 mpg. Very good truck.
I don't know much about trucks, but I had a hard-body when I was younger.
She stared falling apart after just three kids......
The honesty and the laughing at bad design.. dude this guy is the man!!
I own a 2005 Nissan Titan with 230,000 miles on it never had an issue I’m the original owner
Love that you mentioned the Hardbody ot was my first vehicle and it ran forever. I went 86000 miles only doing oil changes every 3000 and then had its first issue with a clogged injector. Other than that nothing. I am looking to purchase another to restore and do some custom work to it. Great trucks.
Rev up your Silverado 4 cylinder for the first and last time!
@Grieg Ragen lol. I want my rattle to be from a spray can.
This is what happens when you have a millenial engineer that grew up knowing only the Prius as the family workhorse. A generation who's dad's didn't pull a trailer down 95 and attempt to pass a semi going 80 mph with a full truck and trailer. You end up with a ricer engine that uses diesel tech. (Sky Active) technology to allow fast and furious fantasy to meld with a truck. Perfect engine for people who buy a truck to have it decorate their driveway. Better not drive it much. Chevy did a Chinese style knock off of V-tec on that 4 banger and they included cylinder deactivation too.. cause yeah. Your 1/2 ton Chevy will get better gas mileage if it can run on one cylinder.
I would like to see that. You would be able to count each time a piston cycled.
Easily the dumbest thing GM has done lol.
Lol!
Is it just me or does this guy shotgun a 12 pack then does his videos. Maybe why I still watch them. Lol
Lmao... u nailed it.
IKR?!?!🤣😅😄
A 12 pack of redbull
Most good mechanics I know are extreme alcoholic
He does look like a drinker
my 2000 silverado with the 5.3 with 215k miles is still going strong with no major repairs, but then again I do good maintenance on all of my vehicles.
Had a 2000 318 dodge ram sport 4x4. Truck lasted 325,000 miles till blown head gasket. Transmission was flawless. Only problem I ever had was dash gauges dying. Considering how hard we abused it since new, it was a great truck.
I got a 97 4x4 sport with the 5.9 like u said never had crazy issues with it but i abused it so im not mad but i still have it to this day
Where’s Scotty’s vids on the pos Toyota frames or the countless Ecoboost engine failures?
Toyota frames that were rusting were manufactured by Dana holding Corp. An American company. They left out a corrosion inhibitor to try to save money. Toyota had them manufacture the frames to save money from building them in Japan and shipping them over here where their trucks are built. Had they of been built in Japan they wouldn't have been rusting.
I had to look at this video and was hoping and praying my 2016 ram 1500 wasn't one of the hit list. Now I can drive and get my iced coffee with a smile
cory ddp I have a 2016 Ram 5.7L 8 speed tans. About to hit 100k no issues. Truck stills run like new
@@alanarguello9256 I only have 30k miles, pretty much a boring life but I do like my iced coffee
Why would you take this bozo Scotty seriously?
@@BubbIeCum are you lonely? I'm a grown man who didn't ask for your advice. Are you just making comments for attention or do you need a hug?

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram hemi 5.7 quad cab currently has 267,000 mi on the original motor and the original transmission besides regular maintenance the only thing I've had to replace is the fuel pump. I had a 2006 F-150 lariat..... Literally I've never had more problems with the truck ever. Not to mention it struggled the pull a small lawn mower trailer... very easily got stuck after on many different off-road scenarios, 70,000 miles I had to change the rear differential than at 85,000 miles new transmission not to mention new wheel bearings. I got rid of it though after it started misfiring on a regular basis and throwing codes thank God I sold it and bought my 08 Ram 1500 5.7 literally like a breath of fresh air as soon as I started driving this truck I bought it with 160,000 miles and now has over 260,000 original motor original transmission bought it from the original owner. It's literally the most reliable truck I've ever had after having an F-150 that was the most unreliable truck I've ever had..... I think you have a bias and nobody should listen to you!
The second generation dodge trucks are great. Still driving my 94 ram to this day. I have heard nothing but bad things about the newer generations.
Scotty himself said the older ones are ok trucks. Just not the newer ones
@@android-ud2nf Gen 3 are good in my experience
My 95 Cummins went to 300k miles as a daily driver/work truck. Hauling cement, stone, and snow plowing in winter.
They rust out in three years here in Michigan
04 ram1500, 163xxx miles runs like a champ.0 major issues
Scotty seams to forget about ford and the 3 valve and 4 valve Triton engines. Having cam phaser issues and shooting spark plugs out of the heads. Oh and the 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7l Powerstroke diesels cracking pistons, having DPF problems, blowing head gaskets, and having injector issues.
Scotty is a Ford guy or getting paid by Ford for not saying nothing bad about them lol
That's true I had a spark plug shoot right out of my ford that's true and the plastic intake cracks that cost a lot I will not own one again
Way to completely generalize about Ford without any sort of context..
And ford trucks rust away vary quick I own one family members to and all rusting from inside out
6.7 is an amazing motor if you maintain it just had one roll in the shop with 700000 miles the main reason 6.7 get a bad rap is people don’t maintain them then it dies cause they went 25000 miles with the same oil change but yes 5.4 3v is garbage even if you maintain it
I really enjoy binge watching Scotties videos when I feel like watching car videos. Classic, channel. Scotty is a national treasure.
Have a 2019 ram 1500 with 220,000 miles as a company construction and I’ve never had a lick of problems. Me and my buddy love the healthy v8. And I’d say Fiat has almost saved it and made it better since 2010 or so.
Our department gets 300,000 miles on Chevrolet Tahoe’s before sending to the auction. This is the 5.3 GM engine. Hardly ever a problem with these. Smooth as silk and driven like they are stolen.
Somehow you neglected to mention the class action lawsuit against Ford due to there 5.4L spark plugs blowing out. Oh and there wonderful diesel 6.0 and 6.4 trucks.
Oh boy, someone needs to read more..
Brandon I agree. As a fleet mechanic I found Ford's of that era to be total toilets.
Triton engines lucky to last 100,000 miles
Yes yes yes .... learn Scotty your forgot the number one
@@Mrusernameify read what? 4.6s and 5.4s actually do that with shooting spark plugs out. Along with the manifold bolts cracking. The 6.0 just needs the maintenance and fixes. 6.4s eh can either run good or kill themselves.
I had a Nissan Titan 2005. It was powerful and got decent mileage for the engine size. It had 274K on it when I sold it, still going strong. It depends how you care for the car and how you drive it. Every brand of car has issues.
I've seen alot of Titans that made it 300,000 Mike's. In his earlier days Scotty was really biased to Ford's. He's gotten better lol.
The exception is never the rule. If you got lucky on a truck doesn’t mean all are that way.
Person: My Chevy Silverado can barely accelerate and it can’t tow. Wth is wrong?
Me: **pops hood and reveals 4 banger** I wonder why…
Just drove one the other day and it has tons of power.
If that's not the problem than throw out the access weight from the bed.
My Ford F-250 1995 with the 7.3L power stroke has 387,485 miles on it and it runs and drives like a dream

F-250powerstroke7.3 Ford non-turbo or is it turbo
Hate the new diesels the 7.3 is indestructible!
WK_Paws it’s a power stroke it is turbocharged, ford quit making the idi non turbo in 1993 if I’m thinking correctly

makes sense that he's a mechanic then?
My friend has a 2015 dodge ram and it has 200,000 miles with no problems. The key to that MAINTENANCE!!!
Daniel Ortiz yea same I got a 2003 with 230,000miles still running good 😂😂
I too have a 2000 ram 3500 with 288,000 plus miles and i am very happy with it😀
I know you can get a lemon in anything but maintenance is key. I had a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 360 auto at 160xxx I did have to rebuild the transmission. It had 254xxx on it when I sold it.
I still have my 96 dodge 1500 4x2. 280,000 miles. Still runs great.
Trail Teryx I have 2 dodge rams a 05 with 205k and a 09 with 222k both have the 5.7 and run perfect he’s just biased against mopar
Man, ol scotty sure has the hood open a lot on that Toyota in his driveway... thought those were supposed to be reliable??
My comment disappeared somehow.....
i had a 89 celica , i bought it brand new and took it in to mechanic two years ago and he told me the gas tank was starting to rust and needed replaced, but that he would love to own it. At the time i had four cars in my driveway so i sold it to him and regreted it everyday since. It never failed me very little maintenance and was worth every penny i paid for it.
Best built trucks to outlast anything in the world
@@rdgsupafli, in what world is a Celica considered a truck?
rdgsupafli my girls 2019 4Runner just got out of the shop had to replace rear diff. 8,000 miles on it. Windshield wiper motor was out to. RAV4 rental car 5,000 miles trans was slipping when I pulled it back up to the lot to get the other pile.
You forgot the Toyota Tacoma. I have a RAV4, and it, as well as the Tocoma is haunted, by the worst transmission software ever. I call it "One gear is called for, many are chosen". With the 6 speed autos and living in the hills, they just hunt for gears like mad. Drives me nuts. But, it makes me wonder what the long term effect will be on the transmission.
I dont know how they are set up but try manual gears if it hunts
Toyota trucks definitely don't share the same quality as their cars, theres a reason why you never see any in the northeast
@@KenyonPayne This must be a minor case. There are many documented Toyota trucks with near and at 1,000,000 miles and still tugging.
I'm at 560k miles on my 2004 4runner. Transmission is fine but the timing belt and suspension has been replaced.
The bodies usually die before the motor.
97 dodge ram 5.2 4x4, 467,000 miles, no way in hell I would by a ford or chevy again.
@revenge69ful surprisingly my truck is still ok body wise, every year I spray the undersides with atf/diesel fuel mix
The video is about the NEW ones.
94 dodge ram 1500 5.9 4x4, 295,000. Lots of problems but tough love. My truck was used as a river toy by dumb previous owners
1999 5.2 at 400k lol
@@Ztof 1994 5.9 at 129,000, and i think.... stills smells like new, most of the time is in the garage, but that truck always starts and gets the job done!
Me and my dad both have a Dodge ram and I'm at 167k miles and he is at 295k miles ram is amazing this guy just has a hatred for anything dodge and lots of other vehicle brands
I’ve noticed that as well. He’ll post a video saying he will never buy X brand and turn around saying he was wrong.
I've had two work trucks that were Chevy Silverados with the Ecotec3 5.3 v8 and each one made it 100k miles with zero issues other than standard maintenance. I have no doubt they would make it to 200k.
Nah, more like 300K to 350K
If your push rods dont go
Got 355K on my Nissan. Yup I have replaced every axle seal. I always change my own fluids Heck engine swaps too. But while under there, I look for leaks, if I see one, I replace the gasket. I think a lot of failures is because of poor maintenance.
These are facts cause a Nissan truck 300k plus . But you gotta water a flower so it will grow. Some just drive and only check the gas hand
I have the knowledge to fix my own vehicles, but I don’t have a garage or all of the fancy equipment to diy
Gotta say, Scotty, you're one of the reasons why I bought a used 2001 Tundra. Had a 1999 Dakota that I bought a year ago, and put a lot of money into trying to fix it, finally give up on me and strand me at work at 1:30AM last Monday (transmission wouldn't work in reverse) at around 160k miles.
Made the decision the next day to look for a Tundra. Figured if I'm not wanting to spend a lot of money on a truck, buying a high mileage Toyota was going to be better than buying a high mileage anything else, except maybe Ford (got an '02 MPV, which is a essentially a Ford, that has over 270k on it and still runs pretty well).
By the end of Wednesday, I had myself a "new to me" 2001 Tundra with 205k on it that doesn't leak a drop of oil. Just needed a little brake work, new struts, and a transmission fluid change. Going to be replacing the timing belt and water pump here in a few days as well, once the parts arrive.
This truck might just make me a Toyota fanboy. XD
You are poor!
@@alexanderchenf1you are balls on chin
30,000 on my 2019 Ram 1500 with no problems. Come back here in a few years to see if it made it.
Josh Black we all know he won’t come back to update us 😂
It better work good .It's a year old and only has 30k on it.
My buddy has a 1996 f-250 with 451,000 miles. Runs like butter. Plus those trucks had 2 tanks so you could easily go 650+ miles in it. If only diesel fuel wasn't watered down today.
i miss those old trucks and vans with double tanks, all u had to do was flip that switch
@@damienwolff1752 I miss the double tanks AND the awesome paint jobs those trucks had. And the standard transmissions.
As a titan owner the rear ends have a axel vent problem, fix that and the stock rear end is fine
Mine they put vents on it to keep cool I change the fluid yearly keeps it from whinning
Every company makes some bad trucks with some having more than others. My 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn has over 106,000 miles and has had some very minor issues but has never left me stranded.
Love my Ram
366,000 on my 2006 ram 3500 diesel and 189,000 on my 2011 ram 1500 both very good trucks for me maybe it's the people taking care of them
The ram transmissions are made by ZF. The same kit trans in BMW, Audi and Rolls. It sounds like the tech didn't understand it because those transmissions are practically bulletproof, where did you get that information from? One anecdotal case? Hardly resembles the literal thousands of transmissions out there that are problem free.
Im going to have to disagree. I had a 45RFE and it didnt last. A friend had the same exact tranny, and same exact problem. However, youre right about the statistics. But I'm talking real personal experience not statistics.
@@JustForFun77077 the 45 RFE isn't used in the 5th gen Ram and wasn't used in the later versions of the 4th gen (DS) version of the half ton truck.
I believe the RAM transmissions are a ZF design, but Fiat pays a royalty fee so that they can produce them in house.
I got a used 03 Toyota Corolla as per your advice and it was the best decision of my life
I have one too and it's still running strong
Guess why I bought it, my brand new BMW 320i was already falling apart and it had only 8000 miles, electrical problems, AC problems, transmission felt it would blow up, you name it, it got that. The electricals are absolute pile of garbage in BMW and I am trying to sell it asap before it totals itself up. Corolla even though is 16 years old (only 25k miles) runs great
Me too! Just wish a few months after I got it the clear coat on the hood bubbled from a pin prick to an large pizza so far.
I saw a new 2019 BMW with clear coat peeling on the rear bumper already lol
I drive an 05 carolla LE, really love it its only got 140,000 miles but drives like a dream and has only had the check engine light on once for a loose gas cap!
My mechanic is just like you Scotty. Sold me a 2008 Tucson 210000 km with a 130000 km engine. Former owner failed to change the timing belt. Love this car. Works like new. $2800 all in. I’ll drive it for years
Come on. Every Nissan Titan owner I’ve met has been happy with the quality.
@@juanequis6951 America full of maniacs like this.

Stephan Paris I own a 2018 Titan and it’s the best truck I ever owned
Have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 5.7 at 273k and still running smooth. The big problem it had was two broke exhaust manifold studs. Whole drive train still original.
My 03 ram 5.7 has 253k on it now too
CO Finest I have a exhaust leak on my 2005 hoping it’s not a broken manifold stud
@@keltonderkach9601 it is most likely broke stud and if it is not plan on one or two breaking when taking off. Try to break bolts lose while hot. Oh and do not buy aftermarket studs and gasket. Only buy mopar.
Got 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ 167k miles. Take care of it and it takes care of me.
Those 2019 Rams are nice w/ all the bells and whistles but I’ll never buy brand new.
I seen the thumbnail and got interested, with my 2nd gen with 400k plus miles still going strong! All about knowing what your driving.
I have owned 2 H3s and mechanically they ran fine with routine maintenance. Started with the H3 with the I5 in which it ran really good. Only reason I traded it in was to get an H3 Alpha with the 5.3 V8.
Ive never owned, nor have I ever known someone who had major issues with a Silverado or Tahoe within the first 100k. Usually you dont have any problems till well over 200k. But i am talking about 1999-2012 models
Correct my 99 Tahoe is still running great with 108k on it.
Yeah. Older trucks longer. But newer today. It garbage... I consider older trucks.. Nissan Pathfinder doesn’t look good to me at dealer for 4th time with tranny issues... I still love nissans. 3.5v6. Didn’t care on other.. when I’m ready for trucks will ask Scotty for advice.. but all I see most videos ford. Stronger and long lasting. Except. 3.5 turbo.... my friend has. 2011 no issues he tows a lot of cars buy and sell
After GM introduced Active Fuel Management in 2007 you'd be very lucky to make it to 200k. They took a super reliable engine and ruined it with that garbage. Those 1999-2007 GM trucks are tough as nails
Yupp my 2000 Silverado with the 5.3 vortec has 271,661 miles still pulling my lawncare trailer no problem.
My fathers 2005 Yukon has over 370k miles still original engine and transmission. Only had to replace some seals and oil pressure sensor.
Glad my 99 Sierra wasn’t mention. Think maybe these years were built little better. Made it 20 years so far.
MrHuckabst Those are good trucks, besides rockers prone to rust.
GMT800’s are so solid, best trucks out there, thats why they were selling like no tomorrow and you still see a ton of them
My 05 Denali was worse vehicle I ever owned.
Gm 1/2 ton trucks have weak transmissions and weak rear axles. Ever since the 60s. Generically Made.
Well yeah, the LS family of v8s are still sought after engines just by themselves 👍😎👍
I am a retired aircraft mechanic and can tell you some aluminums are stronger than mild steels. Ford use "6" series aluminum which is often used in wing leading edges and main support beams in wings and frames.
Scotty, don't know why you are so down on Dodges. I had a Dakota that had 174,000 miles on it when a man rear ended me and totaled it. I now have a Ram with 163,000 and running great. I take extremely good care of my vehicles. I have appreciated your videos over the past years. Thanks
My very first vehicle, a 1999 Dodge Dakota with 230,000 on it.
I paid $600 for her because it needed a rear differential, which was an extra 1200. Best truck I had, until an old lady pulled out in front of me 😣
My brother-in-law is a Chrysler mechanic for 22 years. He owns a 2007 Dakota pickup and 2003 Stratus. He said he bought them because he knows he can fix them. Buys the parts and does the labor, saved a ton of money.
@@adcolt54 If I had the time, I would've done it myself.
They don't have to have to last that many miles since they spend most of their time in the mall parking lot.
Well most people buy extended and super cabs now. The beds are so small you can't do a bunch of hauling. But they are really good for people with families. Think about it....a lot of interior space and you still get a hauler and tower when you need it. Not every truck has to be a work horse. I personally have a regular cab full size. Great in snow and the parts of a truck wear so much better than a car, plus I have great hauling capability.
@@Anth230 yes, America is full of empty truckers that justify their odd purchase buy saying "its good in the snow" or something dumb like that
stickloaf Pickups are terrible in the snow unless your hauling a lot of weight in the bed. The rear end goes sideways even in 4x4.
@@philtripe haha, so true, I hear this all the time
@@philtripe Sorry you feel that way. I had a Ford Ranger that I only replaced the front brakes twice and never had to do the rear drums. This was after ELEVEN YEARS. The only major thingnever replaced was the muffler. Every car I had the brakes were gone in less than two year. Suspension needed to be done at least once etc. Trucks are very low maintenance. As for snow trucks are better 4x4 or 4x2. Sure you have to put a little weight in back but I NEVER have been stuck in snow with my trucks. Been stuck several times with all my cars. We get heavy snow where I live.
I had a 2014 Ram! I had it for 3 days when the power steering went, They had to place the full rack and pinion in It!
Talking about engines and fuel mileage. I used to work at a company that had Ford Econoline 150 vans with 4.6 liter engines. When they're go for service, we'd rent E350s, with 5.4 engines. The 150 got 11.5 mpg and the 350 got 13.5, because the drivers would always stomp on the throttle of the 150 and get the same acceleration as the 350. There is a right sized engine, that's what a car or truck needs.
My uncle has a 2005 Ram SLT with over 200,000 miles on it.
Great truck.
Well duh. Not hard to maintain older vehicles when they were made to last

We looked at new Trucks and could not see spending $65,000 on a new truck when Mine has gone 287,000 Miles and runs like a champ! I get 16 MPG city and 20 HWY and the truck is 17 years old. Yea I have had to replace Water Pumps, Alternators, Power Steering Pumps and the Like. I do all the work and saves a ton of money. Future Upgrades are new 5.3 Engine that is built and sitting on the stand, Complete Front Suspension rebuild, and Rack and Pinion. Way cheaper to re-build than buy the junk they have today. Plus I don't have a Black Box! ☺
Do you still have your 2001 Silverado?
I noticed not one comment about Ford. But yes you have a whole video on how bad the EcoBoosts are. Every Ford truck I've had so far for work has spent more time in the dealer than anything else. All between brand new and 200k.
Still driving my 2000 dodge Dakota, v8. Its got 200k miles on it. Transmission is still good, engine and timing chain are still good. Hope to get another 100k out of it.
That's rare for a 1st gen 4.7 to make it to that due to oil sludge issues. I had a 00 durango last year with the 4.7 that had 235k and was still running strong...but like i said it's really rare..

He's 💯% correct..I drive truck for a living..and I see all of these trucks that are clearly brand new.. broke down hood up on the side of the road ... My 2000 F-150 V8 4x4 has 186,000 ..has been trouble free just doing basic routine maintenance..
i mean you cant get everything correct on a new thing right away so ofc the newer vehicles have problems
4 cylinder engine working really hard burns more gas than a bigger engine just cruzing along is spot on! That's so true! GM should just use a V8 with cylinder deactivation on the highway when not pulling heavy loads or use a 6 cylinder turbo diesel!
I agree putting a 4 cylinder in a full size truck seems to be a bad Idea. That's why i got the 2018 5.3L V8, not even a turbo to go bad.
