I currently own a ZR2 Colorado (2018) (73,000 miles) and it has been rock solid. Love the truck! It handles like a sports car, a beast off-road, and plenty of power. My sister has a 2007 Nissan Titan SV 4x4 with 156,000 miles. Amazing truck! We use it for hay, gravel, towing horses… Super good at all of these things.

The biggest issue I had when I had an F-150 with a 5.0 was the windshield washer fluid line would clog causing washer fluid to not spay out of the nozzle onto the windshield. Apparently that was a common issue on the 5.0 trucks. Never had any other major issues besides that one with the engine.

[@gregscarcella519]

Beware….some of these prices are SCAMS used to hook you in to get u to the dealership! Read the FINE PRINT. The dealers get u in and then ALWAYS add on at least $5,000 worth of crap (window tint, windshield protection, paint protection, ceramic coating, theft protection) that they say CANNOT be deducted. Now that great deal is $5,000-$8,000 higher!! This happened to me in at Central Houston Nissan.

[@alanpilibosian1979]

I had a 2018 ZR2 Diesel. The truck was quiet and smooth and always impressed my off-road but the fuel mileage always confused me. Bone stock it averaged 21-22 mpg. I checked mileage religiously and hit 25 mpg only once when I had a tail wind! Where it impressed me was I eventually put a 5" lift and 35 inch tires and it could still squeak out 20 mpg. So while stock it wasn't much better than the gas V6, in typical diesel form it does it's best when working harder. A gasser with 35's would get about only get about 14 mpg.

[@hanstubben]

Here in Brazil we have the S10, basically the same as a Colorado, mine, a 2020, has an average of 26,5 MPH over total of 85,000 miles. On long distances it gets easily 30 MPG. My 2016 that I had before had more or less the same average with some 100,000 on the clock.

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

Unless you KNOW that it has been done, if a Colorado with the 2.8L Duramax has more than 100K miles on it, you should immediately replace the timing belt. The 2.8L Duramax is a version of the VM Motori 2.8L CRD sold in the U.S. in the 2005-2006 Jeep Liberty. Both engines are "interference" engines--if the timing belt breaks, there can be severe engine damage. The bad news: timing belt replacement is about $1,500 if done by an auto shop. Like all MY2007+ diesels, the 2.8L Duramax is prone to emission system problems, especially if the vehicle is driven a lot in stop and go traffic or is idled a lot.

[@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806]

Toyota's 4.7 does not have emissions but it also relies on a timing belt that should be changed. Do not go by a Toyota by reliability alone- if a timing belt is not changed, then when it breaks , it will grenade the 4.7. Engine replacement is very expensive.

The Banks intake and exhaust are the first things to add to a Titan if you wanted to increase performance and they are top shelf, but I guess Nathan doesn’t like performance adders. Truck needs some maintenance for sure but good bones for someone who wants to take on a project.

[@aerynlovell4754]

Just because a truck has an aftermarket intake/exhaust doesn't mean it has been abused. After buying my 2016 Canyon in Ontario, I had to downshift to second gear to climb the steep mountain roads. Even in Alberta, I had to downshift to 4th gear to climb a steep hill on my drive to work. After replacing the stock muffler with a Cherrybomb Vortex, I only had to downshift to 5th gear to climb the same hill, and my fuel economy improved by about 2 MPG. I am hoping that a K&N intake will allow my truck to climb hills in 6th gear. Performance upgrades are necessary if you want your truck to operate at peak efficiency, and it gives you better fuel economy.

I just picked up an '06 F-250 regular cab long bed 4x4 with the hated 5.4 3V for $5200. Only has 124k on it and very little rust (surprising for being in the rust belt). There's zero valvetrain noise. Already had new tires, plugs and coils, brakes, and cat back exhaust. It needed exhaust manifolds (broken studs), a fuel tank (had a leak), shifter repair (shifter sloppy), and I replaced ALL of the fluids. The old fluids looked great though, I just wanted to have a baseline for my ownership records. I'm having the driver's seat refoamed and reupholstered and just picked up a tonneau cover. All in, I'm into it for under $9k, including tagging and titling. Even if the 5.4 takes a dump it's cheaper to replace the engine than to buy a new truck.

[@alexgrindnshine2522]

Good for you. From working in a shop the 5.4 3v can go the distance if you use a high grade synthetic oil along with a WiX oil filter. and change it very 3-5k miles. Checking it in between and topping off. I have seen them with over 300k when that was done

[@rowdytomcat]

Same happened to me at 60k. Thankfully I have a lifetime warranty. I had a completely different dealer experience than yours though. You have to make them drive it. There is a part that heats up by the trans, builds pressure, then releases. So if your issue is like mine, it didn’t do it constantly but when it did, you really noticed. This part is made of the wrong material and to my knowledge, they haven’t changed the material of said part.

[@Argedis]

Yep that's how they get away with it by saying "that's normal". Also GM is notorious to have extremely high 'tolerances' before it throws a code. (so they don't have to warranty) Like 25%+ slip for example.

Worked in shop for over a decade and rams are actually really reliable. When talking to the customer that owned them they were happy with them. Saw plenty with 200k-600k miles of work truck life. Gas or diesel.

@@alexgrindnshine2522 All trucks are reliable if you take care of them well, Rams included.

[@ck1abe515]

Frankly, each one of these trucks are good to have, it just depends on you will be using them for, the titan is a good truck for you high schoolers or college kids, the rebel is a good all around truck and in great condition for being 4 years old, and the zr2 is perfect for going off-road and a daily driver for around town, as for me, because of the work that i do, i would choose the rebel, i haul parts to paint and body shops along with a few mechanics in the west texas area and sometimes i pull a trailer with average weight of 6-8k pounds once or twice a week with my 2019 ram 2wd quad cab 1500

One day Andre will have to admit hes never even SEEN a Ram with "Hemi tick" 😂

[@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806]

Most of them have a tick not because of the lifters but because of the exhaust manifolds breaking off. However, usually when the "real" hemi tick happens with the lifters, it usually is catastrophic to the engine.

Wish they were more manual truck options

Can confirm. I had a salvage titled first gen Nissan Titan. It was a tank.

Digging that ZR2

[@jabroni6199]

Nissan trucks in this region have all been worked to the bone. 300k miles on them, often times used as a gardeners or landscapers truck and are pretty beat up inside and out.

[@terrencejones9817]

I came Very close to the buying a 2019 ZR2 Diesel. But it couldn't tow my Trailer. I went with a 2019 Silverado Trailboss , for daily life the larger truck is better. But on tight trails the ZR2 would have been better.

My 2018 ZR2 w/v6 is still kicking and I mean to keep her for a long time. I would caution those seeking one of their own to pay attention to the DSSV shocks. If they go they will run you between 500 and 600 bucks each. (still less expensive than King) Look at the shocks to see if they look like they have oil on them or if they're super clean. I've had 1 rear fail and I think my fronts are about due (123k mi)

[@aerynlovell4754]

I have seen a few KZbin videos where guys were talking about this problem. They ended up replacing the DSSV shocks with conventional shocks because it was the more affordable option.

[@mierdevries9643]

@@aerynlovell4754 Maybe affordable but my experience with DSSV off road has been pretty damn good. Maybe if I get that King money together (4k for 2 pair) I'll give them a try.

Keep it up. Good stuff I want to hear!!!!!

[@knotslip8862]

I feel like its such a mistake to get rid of V8's. Harder working turbo 4's and 6's arent going to last nearly as long so the cost to own these trucks with turbo powered smaller engines is going to go up. Replacing turbos, etc. is expensive. Back in the day the saying was "There's no replacement for displacement". I hate the direction things are going. I'll keep my GMC Sierra SLT with the 6.0 liter Vortec Max engine. So, for new trucks anyway, we're paying more for something that won't last as long. Thoughts?
