Top 5 BEST Trucks To Buy For Reliability and Value For 2025 (And Top 5 Worst!)

[@johnkinsel5027]

The Frontier is a solid little workhorse. The auto parts stores around here love to use them for delivery vehicles. I got an older one with the 4 cylinder and it is simple & reliable.

[@reddog3544]

Great review as usual. I have a 2018 Charger R/T 5.7 Hemi. 41000 miles and an absolutely fantastic car. 16 to 17 in the city and 31 to 33 on hwy at 70 MPH. Use 89 Octane. Will drive it until it dies. Appreciate your channel.😎

[@carhelpcorner]

@@reddog3544 Thank you! That's a solid car. Too bad it isn't made anymore 😔

[@tomlong6501]

Love my frontier Pro-4X. Good off road. Comfortable on trips. Regularly get 24mpg in mixed highway/suburban driving. Best value out there… even factoring in resale data.

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

Nissan Frontier is the BEST CHOICE! A no nonsense truck on a real truck chassis with a V6 naturally aspirated engine. That’s what you want! You can throw all the other options out of the window!

[@oreally8605]

Nissan has always made good trucks. Their cars are poorly made. Why? Those CVT failing transmissions.

Only count four truck recommendations. The Toyota Tacoma is not a good buy anymore with its turbo engine, and excessive pricing in the higher trims. Out of the Frontier, Ridgeline, and Maverick, which are all good trucks, the Maverick takes the cake as best pound for pound truck for 2025

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Just bought a 25 Ram and not one bit afraid. 24! Mpg with 425 H.P. The in line 6 has always been the best engine design. That little 4 cylinder hand grenade in the Tacoma is going to blow up!

[@thesig301]

The new Rams are great. So much hate, but it’s one of their best trucks in history

[@elche1976]

Starting out with a Toyota... with recalls and engine failures. Genius.

[@aaronberg5708]

Right? Literally the least reliable truck on here lol

[@jorgekumagai2672]

The times are changing and these are different times. Nobody is willing to spend over $50 thousand for a truck. There are thousands of trucks waiting for buyers on parking lots.

2024/ 2025 will go down in history as bad years for trucks.

[@williamrossetter9430]

Be careful with anything with a turbo! That takes out the current Toyotas. With transmission issues in the Tacoma to bore shavings in the Tundras, only the Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridegline and domestic trucks remain.

[@ltcajh]

Cummins turbo diesel is good.

[@lookingthroughice7843]

You my friend have no clue about what your talking about. You claim Toyota is so reliable but the have the largest recall ever.

[@aaronwilkinson7477]

Yeah seriously and this is across to board with several of Toyotas vehicles

[@myronromero7071]

That was on Tundra not Tacoma

[@aaronberg5708]

​@myronromero7071 your see what's happening to the tacoma right now? There's 3 videos out there on you tube, that have the new Tacoma grenading, due to 3 separate issues. And there's ton of people with problems who made the mistake to buy one.

[@Doc1855]

I purposefully bought my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed when I found out that Toyota was going to the Turbo 4 banger. I’m retired and plan on driving my 23 TRD until I die and I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off our private road until she dies. Screw the new turbo 4 banger

[@lionbeast178]

Nissan Frontier should be number 1 on this list. A 4cy pickup truck 🛻 reliability just went out the door 🚪. You definitely fell and bumped your head if you think a Ford Maverick 4cy hybrid with a cvt is as reliable as a Toyota Tacoma. For future reference, compare light pick-up trucks vs light pick-up trucks and large pickup trucks vs large pickup trucks.

[@drecksaukerl]

The new Tacoma? Seriously? They've had no end to problems, some of which are design related and unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

[@clancifer2]

You started with the new Tacoma and that’s not a good one.

[@nomadpi1]

I think the lower prices shown for each vehicle are pipe dreams. I've not found any prices that low in OK, TX, or KS!

[@larryramos3709]

I do not agree with the assessment of the Toyota Tacoma. 2024's have massive engine and transmission failure.

[@hphillips7425]

Good video. I agree. This is a hard video to make because even the good trucks have inconsistent quality

[@majood245]

Three trucks you should run away from: 1- 2024 Toyota Tacoma with I-Force max turbocharged 2.4L Four cylinder engine, electrical issue. Engine issues , transmission issue even the manual transmission is crapped out. Hybrid batteries failure, Quality interior is sucks suspension cracked on, they are not reliable nor durable enough, and also are so difficult and complex to repair, Stay away from 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tacoma 2- 2022-newer Toyota Tundra and Sequoia with 3.5L Twin Turbo I-Force Max V6 engine. The turbo failure, electrical problems, engine failure, transmission failure, overheating vehicle, overprice vehicle, expensive maintenance and expensive parts, crankshafts broken and water pump failure, they are not reliable I don’t care if you take care of it, it will always ALWAYS 🫵 be broken, stay away from any 3.5 TT V6s Toyotas and Lexuses 3- 2021 Honda Ridgeline with 3.5 J35 V6, another crappy Cylinder deactivation system in Honda which is gonna be more complex than GM AFM, 4000 bucks up to 8000 bucks to fix that engine with Honda, especially with cylinder deactivation system in V6 Hondas, I don’t care if mechanics are ranked excellent reliability, nope 🙂‍↔️ they are not reliable as they age, stay away from Honda ridgeline Peace ✌️

Are these Tacomas with the turbo made for North American market? Does Japanese built Tacomas also have the turbo?

Toyota will not stand behind their product. Trust me. Have owned 2 of them and after many recalls, they said that is all they are willing to do. I replied : I will NEVER buy another Toyota again after all the problems. The guy on the phone said : I don't really care. REALLY ???? F U Toyota !

Nissan Titan is the best full sized truck with a non turbo V8.

Ram with the Pentastar 3.6 v6 is pretty solid. Santa Cruz is a great. 2.5 Naturally Aspirated and a STEP transmission. The turbo is an OPTION.

@@joeb2588 But is the reliability comparable to Tacoma or Ridgeline ?

[@joeb2588]

@jean-paulbourbonnais6682 I'm not sure at this point. Auto reliability seems to have taken a hit since the tech boom and the emissions rules tightening up. All these changes. Interestingly enough, I'd love a truck but can't really get one right one, and if I can make it work, i would get a Santa Cruz. I have an Elantra I bought new in 2018. 143k. Not one engine issue. Although I take exceptional care of it...

[@tylerproctor4878]

Totally disagree with you about the ram 1500. I understand your concerns about the hurricane engine but its still available with the pentastar. Furthermore the design of the hurricane engine seems promising. Chevy makes a 2.7 turbo that has some similarities that has surpassed their LS motors with reliability number. But still ram base model tradesman with the pentastar engine seems to be the best option to get a comfortable, capable, reliable full size truck for competitivel the lowest price on the market. I have to question your decisions on the honda ridgeline and the Tacoma. Tacoma is a good truck but it doesn't seem to be pulling anything incredible this year and is having its own reliability problem. Its too similar to the ranger and Colorado but its 6 grand more. The ridgeline is the same problem 5 ft bed. Unibody only gets 1300 or so pound of payload and 5k towing. Why have a big v6 in that? It more money than the maverick with worse fuel milage and similar capability. Unless you just gotta have that comfortable unibody ride why spend 10k more. Buy a maverick

[@greaser_cycles]

Back in 2021 I was tossed up between a Gladiator Willys and a TRD Tacoma. I rented the Tacoma and lived with it for two weeks. The only plus I can say about the Tacoma was that while on the highway the Tacoma was a lot more quiet of a ride. But to me that is to be expected out of a traditional hardtop vehicle. I purchased the Willys edition Gladiator after many test drives. I can say without hesitation it was way better of a truck than the Tacoma. It had more cabin room. It had disc brakes where the Tacoma in 2021 still had drum brakes, so as a result, the Gladiator stopped a lot better! The Gladiator was faster. I also felt as if it handled better. 62,000 miles in two years and not a single problem with the Gladiator. As far as looks go, I think they are both great looking trucks and that just comes down to opinion of taste.
