We are currently on our 4th Ranger. They’ve proven to be durable pickups with the exception of the 3.0 V6. Our current Ranger is a 11 XLT super cab 4X4 with the 4.0L V6. Before adding the K&N intake and the FlowMaster exhaust as well as a free flow exhaust manifold, I was getting 19 mpg on the freeway with the cruise set on 75mph. Now with the mods I’m consistently getting 23mpg. We get 5-6 feet of snow every winter and our Ranger has never gotten stuck. It’s now 12 years old but has only 35K miles on it. I change the oil every 4K miles with Kirkland full synthetic motor oil and I change the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluids every 30K miles. I guess this is why we get 250+K miles from all of our vehicles. If I didn’t need the hp and torque then I would have opted for the 2.3L 4cyl naturally aspirated engine. Those 2.3L can get 500K miles easily. Not only does our Ranger haul a yard of gravel, dirt and fire wood, but after the intake and exhaust mod’s, it now hauls ass too. 😁

The first one we put over 500K miles on it and the second one we put almost 700K miles on it. Back then we changed the oil every 3K miles with conventional Valvoline motor oil. We now change our oil every 6 months (which is only about 1,500 miles) with Valvoline full synthetic (high mileage) oil, even though our Ranger has only 36K original miles. We change the oil on our Subaru’s every 5K miles with Valvoline full synthetic (high mileage) oil. My wife’s Outback has less than 30K miles and my Forester just hit 13K miles. High mileage oil has additives that reduce engine wear.

@Walt Moore you have that backwards. AMC was not producing many of their own parts. They cut deals with others to build their products for awhile. I took a 401 out of an old international grain truck and put into a 1974 Jeep Cherokee. I had a 1976 J10 that had a blown engine and used parts out of a Ford 360 to get it back on the road. AMC in the 60's and 70's was struggling and using a lot of parts from other manufacturers. You could bolt Ford and International parts right in with no modifications or very few.

Could not agree with you more - Ive got a dakota with the 4.7 in it and even after moving up several tire sizes it lost NONE of its power or throttle response. Crank shaft and cam shaft sensors were replaced and the truck is insanely reliable. Its 4x4 prowess is insane - I know I can depend on it at ANY given time. I have jumped hills and it lands like it was built for it - 75mph on Klevar 265s 75 15s on dirt roads no issue - 35 mph offroad easy - will not get you stuck in mud or sand unless its you who did it. I loved that truck so much I bought a dodge durango - same generation with the 4.7 except this ones AWD and this impresses the heck out of me. Gave it a 2 inch life, 275 75 18s, 2 chamber muffler exhaust - also insane prowess in mud and rough terrain. Tons of room in it for taking the family literally anywhere at any given time. This also starts up every time, I should upgrade sensors while Im thinking about it - only weak spot is ball joints but I have spares. At no point do I ever feel worried Im going to be stranded, or cant go somewhere because of weather. The transfer case output shafts must be made of tungsten or something - because you literally cant put enough force on the system to break it. Rock freaking solid. Ive owned rams, fords and chevies - I wont buy chevys anymore because of the transmissions but my trucks both have 200k on them and transmissions are shifting like they should even after everything I put them through.

I had a 78 F250 Ranger and a 08 Ford Rager. My Ranger was a 4 cylinder and I loved it. Except for the Auto transmission which I had rebuilt two times in less than 150k mi. I've also regulary overloaded and over towed with it several times. The manual version is much more reliable and if my transmission goes out again, I'm tossing a clutch in that thing. I paid $19k for it brand new and abused the hell out of it for over 10 years and I never plan on getting rid of it. Also, it currently blue books for $7k and regularly gets 25 mpg.

I totally agree I had 3 over the years!

[@alexgrindnshine2522]

I Have 1998 5.2l Dakota, truly one of the best trucks ever made, and I have wrenched on all the brands. The Dakota is stand out in its simplicity and capability.

[@johnmullen7254]

I have a 2001 Chevrolet 3500 with the 8.1 big block,it has 270000 miles on it and I work it every day in my tree business and no problems so far just maintenance. Runs like new but it loves gas!

[@lukefitch4942]

8.1 + the Allison does not get any better!! 2002 owner hear, I can not believe a True truck guy would put that POS v10 with a POS tranny in front of the Mighty Big Block!! sorry just my humble

[@shanetyler9391]

I had a good friend who was a mechanic at a Chevrolet dealership for many years. The dealership closed when the owner retired and sold the building. My friend opened an independent auto repair shop. This was at the time that S-10's were quite popular. However, it seemed that he worked on an EXTRAORDINARY number of S-10 pickups and Blazers. I once asked him if this was due to the number of them on the road, or because they were just junk. He paused briefly before giving the kind response, "Well, I don't think they made 'em as good as they could have." That seemed to explain why, of all the vehicles of all makes he worked on daily, roughly one third were S-10's: They weren't made as good as they could have been.

[@ciscoshibler3214]

The chevy 6.0 definitely needed to be on the list. I know several people that have 500k or more miles with no major repairs...

[@vervi1jw1]

The truck will rust out around that engine until it falls out. Then gets turbocharged in an fbody junkyard swap and runs for years at 600hp.

[@JakeArmyRetired]

Agreed I have a 2008 2500hd never had an issue well over 200k miles....

[@ciscoshibler3214]

@@JakeArmyRetired They are pretty bulletproof!. I have a brother that bought an 05 with under a 100k now hes got like 400k on it, And he uses it as a plow truck during the Winter! Never had a single issue.

[@freddiecliburn9711]

35,000 from 600k 2012 6.0

[@danamullins2723]

​@@freddiecliburn9711 so, 565,000?

[@JasPlun]

The GM Transmissions you mention are really good the problem was ignorant people towing with overdrive on! That destroyed them and lack of maintenance! I had a 2004 Silverado LT get 220k on the original, but I serviced it every 45k and I towed in tow mode only! That is the trick with not just those, but all transmissions. Also never have a vehicle still in motion when switching gears unless stuck in the mud!

[@Kylewraps]

My transmission just went out on my 2014 Silverado 189,800 miles I never changed the fluid tho tbh

[@JasPlun]

Be glad your engine has held up so many fail in those years due to AFM well known widespread problem. I do like the body and interiors of those more than my 2003 though. A 2014 with an old LS based engine like my 2003 would be awesome.@@Kylewraps

[@Kylewraps]

@@JasPlun honestly the AFM thing is overblown I have had a lifter tick since 115,000 miles and my camshaft hasn’t blown up or anything like that My dads 2018 has 120k miles too and no lifter tick Now the 2019+ trucks I wouldn’t trust cuz they use DFM which is 2x as bad I hear

[@JasPlun]

It is not overblown I have a family memeber that ended up putting not 1, but 2 engines in her Tahoe. She still liked it enough to buy another except this time she listened and deleted the AFM. It is very widespread issue. Tons of videos on it your one of the lucky few.@@Kylewraps

[@Kylewraps]

@@JasPlun what year Tahoe tho?

[@ChrisRobato]

The Hilux is challenged by the Mitsubishi L200 also known as the Strada or Triton depending in region. This one is proving itself to be one hell of an off roader. There's also the Isuzu D-Max and the international Ford Ranger, a version of which is sold in the US with a gas engine. But international Ford Ranger has turbo diesels. There's also the Nissan Navarre. Along with the VW Amarok, you have a very successful genre of small pickups that are powered by turbodiesels but one that's absent in the US market. Toyota's line up of pickups doesn't end there with the Hilux. In Asia and Japan, you have the HiAce and Lite Ace cab over pickups. In some regions you have the 79 series Land Cruiser, kind of like the Land Cruiser idea of the Jeep Gladiator.

[@deller5924]

Mercedes has got a pickup truck to offer too.

[@damilolaakanni]

@@deller5924 if you're thinking of the X Class, that's just a rebadged Nissan Navara...with a Renault engine.

[@deller5924]

@@damilolaakanni Oh! I didn't know that. Thanks, mate!

[@carlspackler8295]

Some of your data is a little bit off. The mid 2000's Mitsubishi Raider was the cousin to the Dakota. Not the Mighty Max. Those were rebadged as the compact D50 pickup. And the Rangers were never built or designed by Mazda. It was the opposite. Those 90's and up B series trucks were rebadged Ford Rangers. Mazda did build the Courier for Ford.

[@tanakamlilo7027]

You forgot the toyota land cruiser 79 series and the nissan patrol

2002 Toyota Sequoia. 250000 miles and still runs perfect. Doesn't burn or use oil. Love me some Toyota!

[@johns7710]

He's right about hot shots and especially car haulers preferring Cummins. I've worn out several pulling 3/4 cars on a trailer for 500k+ miles. I prefer the 6.7 but nothing wrong with a 5.9, either 12v or 24v. An Aisin transmission is stronger but the 68rfe is no slouch and shifts smoother and can be programed.

[@michaelwdagle7410]

My 08 F150 with a 5.4 3v has 345k . Guess changing the oil like you're supposed helps.

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

I have an 08 f150 pushing 300k. While these engines are susceptible to poor maintenance, if you use premium synthetic and change every 5000 miles, they can last well over 400k. I know of several fleet vehicles where the oil was changed religiously that have well over 400k. Carbon build up is what caused the problems. Super pro tip. Keep your foot out of it and keep clean oil in it, they are excellent engines.

[@erick3755]

Told a buddy how much I loved Hondas dual tailgate function, his response "seems dumb, why would you need to open the tailgate the other way"...proceeded to shove his cooler dead center of the back of his bed and walked off.
