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

[@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.

[@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.

[@user-ms3es1wn2u]

Steering wheel is super heavy on the Frontier tho. Not pleasant at all. Can’t turn the steering wheel with one hand lol.

[@chachacheng9380]

Yes ! If you not two trailer, Ilove tacoma have better tuqre and fuel consumption, better resell value. You better keep you eye in transmission fluids condemne

[@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 😔

[@fixedit8689]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@fernandoformeloza4107]

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

[@myronromero7071]

Biggest problem is this mid size trucks cost as much as big truck

[@jeffreyhall838]

The Frontier is the best choice for me, I love the simple NA V6

[@ivnvz]

I think I’ll stick to the Frontier. Toyota is having so many recalls… and I really don’t care for the Ridgline or Maverick. As a kid I always wanted Jeep so a gladiator seemed like a great choice but apparently they have issues too… man!

[@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.

[@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

[@caputa0531]

I agree with this I haven't heard a lot of bad things about the new Ram engines. True, most of us would prefer the Hemi, but new engines appear to be strong so far. Beats the Chevy lifter problems and Ford's cam phasers. Not to mention their transmission issues. I would let another year two pass before buying one, but so far they seem the best choice of all the 1500/150's.

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.

[@doatty]

Ford’s hybrid systems are licensed from Toyota and are extremely solid. There is no comparison between the reliability of an ecvt and a standard cvt.

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 ✌️

I've sold a ton of Ridgelines. Absolutely the only pickup l would buy...PERIOD! If youre looking for comfort in your truck, the Ridgline should the #1 pick. The handling will blow your mind. But, if youre looking for a daily bang around p/up, the Maverick is king. GREAT REVIEW.

[@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.

[@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
