How Many MILES Will Your Truck LAST?

[@jc6618]

As soon as I saw the new Taco at #2 that website immediately lost my respect. How can anyone possible know how reliable a brand new platform is going to be? Given the recent transmission issues and what the Tundra has turned out to be, the new Taco would be dead last for now in my opinion.

[@is6566]

They have to predict future based on past, otherwise there would be no list at all because there are new gens,, engines, transmissions, coming out every five years. Every list would be like the Gladiator, not enough data points. You have to handle it with a big grain of salt but past performance has predictive value for future. Up to a point.

[@smokeylake6732]

That tells me that other manufacturers are far worse than Toyota.

[@Jason-Samko]

@is6566 exactly. Obviously nobody knows what the reliability or longevity of a new model is. It has to based on years of previous.

[@jeanclaude7018]

​@@smokeylake6732WHEN will this fanboy myth finally die? What could be worse that seizing main bearings to the tune of a $30,000 engine job?

[@jc6618]

@is6566 I understand that, but for the new Taco there’s literally no history to base their predictions on, it’s just straight shilling. What history exactly? Predicative in comparison to what? The old Taco? That’s an entirely different truck! The new Tundra? That ain’t exactly painting a pretty picture is it? It just makes no sense to me why they placed it #2.

[@DanDelzell]

How can they not have enough information on the Gladiator and have enough on the Tacoma with an entirely new drivetrain? That explanation doesn't fit.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree completely. But the tacoma has been around for more than 5 years. The gladiator has not. And all these are base on past vehicles

[@jeffersonstateofmind4057]

2014 Silverado 120000 had lifter failure. 132000 trans failure. Owned since new maintained meticulously.

[@Jason-Samko]

Sucks you had to go thru all that. Appreciate the info

[@michaelmclovin5098]

A non-rust belt, well maintained Pickup Truck manufactured before 2018 or so, should last a minimum of 20 years. I live in the rustbelt and am driving around in a 2005 Chevy Colorado, I try to keep ahead of the rust but that is nigh impossible, rust, like entropy, will always win out. The truck probably has another 5-7 years left. I'd say I got my moneys worth out of that deal.

[@Jason-Samko]

I would agree with that

[@MegaDante5]

Thats bs. Frontier should be one or two on that list. For most reliable.

[@jeanclaude7018]

If this list is based on past models, then the Frontier should be at the top. Many folks bag on it for being an "old" new truck, which makes it VERY proven . Time-tested chassis, classic VQ engine technology, analog comtrols instead of touch screen integration. These things alone should make long term reliability obvious.

[@Jason-Samko]

@jeanclaude7018 agree the frontier is amazing. For 2025 it gets more tech coming though.

[@jeanclaude7018]

@@Jason-Samko hopefully not a big screen pasted to the dash or a turbo 4 banger. It needs an option for LESS tech, like a gear mixing stick and 3 pedals.

@@Jason-Samko I guess they have to give the people what they want! They seem to want that V-6 for sure.

[@M85Iroc]

In general. Vehicles are designed to run reliably for 10 years. After that, all depends on how you maintained and driven it over those years.

[@Jason-Samko]

@M85Iroc in the past I believe that. Today in 2024 I don't think so. I'd guess 7 years

Who knows which of these new generation trucks will last the longest but I believe that by the time my 2nd generation Tacoma wears out they will be on the 5th or 6th gen Tacoma.

I’m 52 and my 21 Tundra Trd Pro has a little over 29,000 miles. It’ll probably outlast me 🤷‍♂️

@MYDOGOG you will only have to get rid of it if you choose too. It will last decades

Very true. None of these new trucks have been out long enough to know the future. But was interesting to see what thry predicted based on the algorithms and data points.

2024 tacoma is #2? Apparently they didn't do reasearch on the amount of issues they are having.

[@Jason-Samko]

@wd8085 all these lists are based an many years of past models to try and predict the future. No way to really predict any of it. But fun to read

[@GerryHavican]

What ever happened to quality control? Do they even have anyone doing that for a job anymore? Hurry up and get it out the door. I have worked in different plants before that weren't doing anything with the automotive industry and I saw how different things could be between the different shifts and how they cut so much slack to anyone new because of how hard it had gotten trying to hire someone.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree 100! I soend 7 years as a tool designer and line design engineer for gm. It's crazy how things could be so much better.

[@jonathancox6877]

You got to take what they say with a grain of salt especially with affordability category. Once you put what you need as for the chevy HO engine, 4x4, ect., it’s similar to what you get to a comparable gladiator along with ford and all the others. Only when you go higher trim is where you start seeing the differences.

[@Jason-Samko]

@jonathancox6877 vert true. No way to really predict the future. Bit fin to see what these algorithms and data points come up with.

[@Blue-moon12]

Tacoma at #2 😂. Enough said. Transmission issues, shutter grille issues. The list lost all credibility after that part.

[@Jason-Samko]

The list bases the predictions on the last 5 -10 years of a vehicle

[@371kenny]

@deantrainr if you watch videos on gms 2.7l the engineers describe how they based it off a diesel engine, and how this will be their go to engine for the next 15 years. Meanwhile toyota borrows a 4 banger from a car an sticks it in a truck, does a little software and re gearing and hopes for the best!

[@Scroll_Lock]

Probability of making it to 200,000 miles is a very misleading way to write this. They are tracking for 10 years based on an overall average of how many miles a year per truck model and then they stop. So it really means "how far this truck model is typically driven in 10 years". This is not a rating of reliability. This is also a demographics issue as in what part of the country does this truck mostly sell in, a place with longer distances driven daily or not? They can weight this average any way they like without disclosing how. I dislike all of these websites lists because statistics are akin to lies. Then again, you know this when they outright say they use a proprietary research method also known as envelopes full of $$$ they received. This is basically how climate science works. 😅

[@Jason-Samko]

@Scroll_Lock very true. But since there really is no possible way to predict any of this, it's fun to read these lists. And I do believe iseecars is one of the better research options for this stuff

[@Scroll_Lock]

@@Jason-Samko It's certainly better than Consumer Reports or some JD Power award.

[@is6566]

The book for one of my Statistics courses had this motto in the first page: “There are lies, da@ned lies and there are statistics.” The phrase was popularized in the United States by Mark Twain (among others), who attributed it to the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli.
