As much as facelift version looks good on its own, I hate to say it but it did disservice by being the reason of the amazing look of the original pre-facelift W212 being discontinued.

I bought a 2012 W212 E350 about 6 weeks ago. I already had an M4, which my wife hates. We were going on holiday in the car so I bought the E350 with 108k miles. It was very cheap and is in absolutely amazing condition. There were a couple of minor bits of body damage, which I have had fixed. It now looks more like it’s done 30k miles. The interior is almost perfect. My wife loves it and it was a great car to take on a recent driving holiday with loads of space in the boot and storage in the cabin. It’s nowhere near as much fun to drive as my M4 but it’s way more comfortable and practical and it meets with my wife’s approval so it was an absolute bargain.

Fantastic video with stunning pictures and information showing what is being described. Thank you so much.

Let me shorten the video Engine is solid, head gasket and leaks is the 4.0 main issues, especially rear main. Cooling is another thing to attend to. They are torque monsters, but stay away from oversized tires with out re gear Body, unibody. Has unibody problems Transmissions, decent. Both stick and auto Axles. The 35 is poor for longevity. 44 is the gold standard. Overall. They are robust vehicles with issues that is common for most older vehicles.

These trucks were shit

Have a 2012 Laitat ,151000 miles, change the oil at every 6,000 instead of 10,000 runs great

So you have to BUY a dipstick? The fck?

I've got a 98 Chevy S10 I bought new 3 hundred thousand miles and still is running great

Best GM trucks ever made

Chevys beat ford all day every day

only in diesel,keep it

My 2003 fx4 has 225000 miles and runs with power! Love this truck!

Best truck ford has ever built

I have a 2014 mustang gt automatic only problem that recently popped up for me was that I noticed I can’t fill my gas tank pass 265 miles it show it’s full but the miles don’t add up not sure what it is still looking around if anyone knows what it could be it would he great thanks

How many of you tundra owners have the v6 engine ? Id really like any insight on this

This is a shit video

Great video

I have a 2003 I bought in 2006. Only problem I ever had was replacing the 02 sensor near the catalytic converter which was a cinch to replace. Super reliable truck.

I had a 2014 F150 3.5 Eagle boost it 230,500 miles still runs pretty good

Mine’s onyx black with gold stripes. 4.3L v6. Dad said “she’s yours” when I was 14. She’s my pride and joy.

bonsoir vous avez pas montre l'alimentation des câblage

This very is perfect

I just bought one a few weeks ago and not know what engine I have

My 2015 C4S just got the same issue recently (6/4/2024). Initially I thought it’s the hard drive, so I’ve taken out the hard drive, yet issue still exists. Then I cloned the old drive to a newer SSD harddrive and replaced the old one….it didn’t work…anyone knows what’s wrong and how it can be fixed? Please share your info, thanks everyone!

When they made the front sleek and aerodynamic I used to have a joke that well.... if you hit a deer it might help it fly up over the top and land right in the bed of the truck! 😂 I was never a fan of this style. Love anything 1996 and back to the classic square body styles.

4R70w was used on the 5.4L in 2001 also

Hi sir: I have had having bought a 1994+ also a 1999 thee 94' was a 5.0 and 99hadV6 thanks

What's the chance of the "common problems" actually occuring? I kinda want to get an FJ80, but with them being slow as heck and possibly having some serious frame and suspension problems, that kinda scares me away from wanting it. Are they actually common problems? Or are they more rare?

Will a bad auxillary prevent my car from starting its a 2014 e350

They really hit a sweet spot in truck history. They were the first trucks to offer modern essentials, like fuel injection, crew cabs, computer aided design, wind-tunnel testing, etc. They were the first trucks to offer 4WD in a way that hit the zeitgeist. Despite the advances, they still possessed GM's time-tested and indestructible drivetrain: big block + TH400 + 14-bolt axle, + NP205 transfer case + manual locking front hubs. They were also still relatively simple and easy to fix. Unlike the previous generation, square bodies were enormously capable, coming with tough leaf spring rear axles and the almighty 454 big block. 4x4 trucks got robust, solid front axles. Plastic was used minimally, while everything else was plate steel or cast iron. My dad drove a '79 C20 from the time I was 7 until I was in my mid-20s. He didn't maintain it well, and he worked construction, so it was no cream puff. It survived my brothers jumping it, blowing up the transmission doing burnouts, running it into a tree while playing Dukes of Hazzard in the fig orchards near our house, launching a camper full of tools off the back while trying to make a traffic light, endless racing, etc. It had several engine fires, was in constant danger of being impounded over back registration fees, and eventually was abandoned in the back yard for a decade or so before being dragged off to the scrap yard. Even so, it always started right up. You couldn't kill these trucks. I daily drive an '89 V2500 Suburban today. It's still easy to fix, has tremendous aftermarket support, is tough as nails, always gets praise from random people in parking lots (even though its a beater) and never fails to put a big grin on my face every time I get in. Just excellent, excellent trucks.

I have 91 Z71 and 95 6cyl. Both great trucks!

2007 5.7 Thunder Road for me! Not really sure what Thunder Road package is yet but its an awesome truck

Best trucks ever. Mine developed the head gasket oil leak. I used the updated felpro head gasket to repair it, and used an aluminum intake from a 99 expedition with the improved design felpro gaskets as well. Also I torque my spark plugs to spec haha. But it’s pretty easy to avoid those issues and bullet proof these engines, although most don’t need it they go 500k easy with good maintenance. These are great trucks and everyone who’s owned one can agree.

All SBC pumps and labor to install are covered. I had mine (2006 E500) replaced by the dealer in 2023, free of charge.

1964-1973 & 2005-2013 best designs for me ❤ gorgeous cars 🤘🏻

They didn't make disc brakes standard on all models in this series... most of them had rear disc, but the standard rear brake was still a drum rear on certain trim levels.

Better than Ford.

I have a 71 Chevelle malibu SS with a 72 grill and turn signals

I am in CA just got my first truck 99 but it has 220,000 MI on it I got it for $ 47 hundred is that a good deal

These pickups were reliable if properly maintained and really easy to work on yourself. I'm in the process of replacing the upper/lower control arms bushings, ball joints, stabilizer links, wheel bearings, seals, races, brakes, and wheel cylinders under my 1989 Chevy Cheyenne, 3500. It has the SB 350 TBI engine and a standard 4 speed granny transmission. No oil leaks or burning and it runs well. It's a pickup that's easy to work on compared to today's vehicles. It's my daily driver as well. The parts are very inexpensive, readily available, and for me it's an easy DIY project as I grew up around these vehicles. The clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing were replaced in 2023 as were the clutch slave cylinder and hydraulic line, so when I'm done this pickup should make it a couple more decades at least.. I'm in my 60's so it may be my last pickup and I'm the third owner.

Iv got a 78 c20 cheyenne check floor pans and springs the old heads loaded em to the moon there's always 1 busted no matter what and as long as you buy from an older guy usually the motor will runs trans may be fried but iv never seen an original to vehical trans not work unless it was started of fluid or pushed to hard just look at everything and if it's outside your comfort leve to fix walk away ir take it some where the community for these old trucks is normally supportive the info on how to make them work is extensive buy one and try it's a good way to keep your mind occupied

Very good, comprehensive evaluation.

I currently own 3 GM vehicles from this generation: A 2005 Suburban 2500HD (8.1), a 2002 Silverado 1500, and - the crown jewel - a 2004 Hummer H2 Luxury package. I bought the Suburban with 110k miles (it currently has 210k), the Silverado with 137k (it currently has 179k), and the Hummer with 53k (it currently has 79k). I daily drive all three, and have done many long-distance road trips and family outings in both the Suburban and the Hummer. I occasionally tow with all three (nothing very heavy), and have done a fair amount of light off-roading with the Suburban and the Hummer. I used to have a 2003 Suburban 1500. I gave it to my daughter with 275k miles on it. It currently has 320k miles, and she is still driving it. These four vehicles have proven to be the toughest, and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned by FAR, in my total 35-ish years of vehicle ownership. In the case of the Suburban's specifically, also the most versatile and useful. GM really knocked it out of the park in the early 2000's.

I got one of these vehicles with the five form dual fuel in I don't even know it had $62,000 mi on it when I got it I run 2050 synthetic for the last I don't know 8 years and I had just rolled $200,000 I got no ticks I got no clicks everything is running perfectly but keep in mind every 80 to 90,000 mi I have every fluid changed I'm talking power steering coolant thermostat gasket and cap rear diff front diff transfer case transmission engine oil everything changed and I have a great time on my first engine I'm on my first transmission The only thing I've had to have gone through is the rear end I had one bearing replaced and all the seals and I'm still on the road maybe I'm lucky

Do we need to consider the rating of our old bulb and match it to the new? And is there any other to consider as we modify or we add something to the electrical system of the vehicle that affect affect the function of electrical system of the car? I have Ford everest 2018 trend model what can you suggest that best fit to it. Hope you can still answer my question. Thank you very much.

Greetings from Mexico! I own a 2014 pro4x 4x4 and I’m obsessed with it, very reliable, good power and good looks. I’m thinking of purchasing another one more new (2021) just to assure a life time with Nissan Frontier

Well spoken

This interviewer and speaker does an excellent job

I have w212coupe love it best car ever made.

I have owned a 1993 and 2004. Both were great little trucks
