The worst trucks are the ones built in the past five years because they can't go 10,000 miles without a sensor going out which causes the engine to derate.

Just goes to show you shouldn't talk about things that you know little or nothing about. Many of these trucks still are operational and making a buck for their owners.

Clearly, the narrator and the producer of this video, know absolutely nothing about trucks.

The WORST thing here is this video, he knows not what he is talking about!

There's 17 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Not a very informed narrator. Spoke several times about transmission issues. Since all manufacturers used the same brand transmissions, either Eaton Fuller or Spicer, that was not a truck builder issue, but a trans builder issue. GM did not offer the 366 engine til 1966. The Powerglide trans was never offered in a truck heavier than a 1 ton. I drove a GMC General, a 1983 model, and it was a great truck. Plenty of leg room (I'm 6-1 tall), and rode good even with Reyco 4 spring suspension. Our 1986 General had airride , and was the best riding truck I drove, until I got a 93 Western Star, which had an airride cab as well as suspension. IN late 70's, I was with the 70th Trans Co in Giessen, Germany, and we got some of the M915's, and the drivers loved them. They ran so fast, that our Group Commander issued an order that drivers were not allowed to use the top 4 gears in the 16 speed trans. I didn't drive one, I drove a Transtar cabover with a 12v71 and 15 speed trans. Great truck, but like most military trucks, no sleeper, but did have space behind the seats big enough to take nap in, but a bit too small for extended periods. After leaving the military, I worked for a produce company, where I drove the 2 Generals. They also had 2 Ford CL9000's, and 2 LTL 9000's. They were team trucks, and the teams in all 4 said they would quit if they put them in any other truck, since they rode so well, allowing the off-duty driver to sleep better. Just took some getting used to in the CL's when you first drove one, due to the airride cab leanaing so much when turning, giving the feeling of turning over. Once used to it, no problems. The Fords were all Cat powered, My 83 General had a 400 Cummins, and the 86 had a Silver 8v92, which would run away from every other truck in our fleet, and even most others on the road. An occasional bull hauler would be faster, but the General would pass them on the hills

The commenter needs learn something about what he's talking about

The 4070 was one of the best trucks on the road. I disagree with this video the cl 9000 was a good truck. No cab over got good fuel mileage

Dam guys, get your shit together. Talking about the Dodge D50 and you were showing pictures of some military cabover. Then the 65 Chevy C50 you were showing a beat up clapped out Ford F150.

Not sure how the Dodge 50 Series can be one of the worst trucks in *US* history, considering the fact that it was NEVER sold in the US!

So no Internationals with Maxxforce engines or trucks with awful emission systems?

What is the purpose of this video? It's obvious that those who prepared it know absolutely nothing about trucks. News flash, if we took 5 class 8 trucks from the mid-1980's and removed the cabs completely off the frames and put the trucks side by side, the producers of this video could not identify the make of each truck. When class 8 trucks are spec'd by a buyer, there are and were many options, particularly in that era. Engines, transmissions, rear ends, suspension types, etc. Why don't you tell your audience the difference between Rockwell rears and Eaton rears or how to tell a 20k front axle from a 12k. In other words, something useful since you are truck experts.

I've always heard that the Ford cl9000 was one of the best riding cab over trucks on the road at the time

what a bs deal no nothing about trucks u could buy whatever u wanted in runing gear u only buy cab and frame

I only gave this video a like for getting to see some older trucks. Actual failure points were non exsisitant.

I don't think these people know what their talking about just spittin out words to see where they splatter

These old trucks bring back good old memories in the 1970’s

Bison was praised for reliability but criticized for reliability.

Just opinions of a generation that has no idea what they're talking about.

The only issues i agree with are electrical. This common on all trucks. They all use the same trans.. So how are some and others not???

would like to know where these people get their lnformation,they are so wrong!

Hmm. Not a good video. Kind of poorly put together. Always blaming the transmission. Even though most all trucks use the same or similar transmissions. Smh.

Do more research on these trucks before you redo this video to correct it for errors, then try it again. I drove a few of these and not the problems you are talking about. Try it againand do it right, then I might give you a thumbs up instead of down

Complaints about engines and transmissions are silly when you could pick any aftermarket motor and/or tranny combination you wanted. Complaints about driver comfort are critical but handling issues for a semi tractor are not. This video seems to repeat the same issues over and over -- the sources are questionable.

It's a shame you're not better informed when you're making this type of information end a video. Unfortunately, as old-timers seem to remember, just exact opposite of some of the things you've said, we worked on them built on captain running and you know what your assumptions on some of these is utterly ridiculous. So have a blessed day.Do your homework next video?Are you?Won't be getting many more next vipeople.Will drop you like a hot potato

It is clearly obvious you know nothing about trucks nor can you even do a semblance of research on what you're spouting off about on everyone of them you say no more details are available evidently you didn't look very damn hard all the big trucks use the exact same transmission and rear ends and engines and as far as all of them having electrical system problems that was the way things were done back then God bless the time when there were no computers in a truck where there is nothing but electrical system problems

I like how this top 10 almost flooded with GMC and Chevrolet

If only you knew about these vehicles

ive seen a lot of all of them on the road, and when they were talking about the 65 Chevy why were they showing a ford?

What a waste of time. The presenter was under the impression that all these trucks suffered from "poor" fuel milage. When I started driving OTR in 1980, if you got 5 mpg you felt like you were doing great. (Over the years I have driven the C9000, 4070(a lot), Mack (with a 5 speed trans.), Diamond Rio (with 2 straight stacks up the back of the sleeper), a Freightliner FLB, and a Kenworth K100 to name just a few. My last ride (retired now) was a Freightliner Cascadia in 2007.)

The GMC General and the International Harvester Transtars, and the Freightliners FLT were descent trucks, they had their flaws but they were ok to drive and they lasted working on the American, Canadian, and Mexican roads much longer than people expected. Those Gmc, International, and freightliner trucks on this video were poor man's trucks and they did pull their loads.

Thank you 🙏 for sharing

that first one is a british dodge 4x4 you got it all wrong this is just crap

all ths video has is cool picks of old trucks the rest sucks

Best trucks ever built, man get your facts straight will you??

Totally clueless back in the day you could get any motor and transmission and rears for the most part ! The truck manufacturers made the cabs and frame and outside sources supplied the rest. Other than having to put my pants on laying down cabovers were great!

This is a BS survey

I miss seeing cabovers on North American roads. Of course the length law has changed which eliminated the need for them to pull trailers that were too long for conventional cabs to pull because tractor & trailer together weren't allowed to exceed 65ft in length. When the 65ft max length law was abolished, the overall length limit no longer included the tractor with it, just the trailer alone & that was when most companies switched to conventional cabs which caused cabovers to phase out & be replaced by more conventional cabs.

All cabovers tilted, nothing new

The 366 Chevy wasn't available till 66,230,292,283,327,348,and 409 were available in the 65 Chevy Mediums engine availability depended on the model and weight rating of the truck.

Wow this is the worst , I drove most of this stuff when new. Clearly written by someone who hated doing good research .

GM built vehicles and freightliner as well as Fords took most of the hits from this guy. So many other manufacturers at that same time period escaped his reviews. One I would have listed was the F model Mack. The best thing about that was they stopped making it.

That IH cabover that was shown is still pulling out of Hamilton now.🚛🇨🇦

He borrowed the c50 with the clapped out f150 skit from vice grip garage

They are good trucks. Better than new oneS

stop playing loud music, i cant hear the commemtary

No Road Commode?

Great video if you're on beer # 26 of 30

Rock and Roll Ford

I miss the cab overs . but he’s off on top 10. Worst trucks you should’ve named this the worst tucks from the 50s to the 80s and I drove the am general in Afghanistan in 05 it never let me down

Seems that every truck has transmission issues and unreliable.

The C-50s came with a 4 speed and also a two speed axle never a Power glide,5 speed,and a Allison auto w hydraulic retarder but never a Power glide except for light duty trucks.I also believe the C-50 was Available well into the 70s,and there is so much more in inaccurate information.regarding the other makes that are featured in this piece.

I can tell you the engines available for the 58-9 Chevy Apache,Viking and Spartan, 235/261 chevy 6,283,348,and Buick 322.V-8s.

I drove those 915s when they were brand new...(37th Gp). That hand crank Bostrum seat and spring suspension would beat you to death. The transmission was an interesting choice. It always made funny noises.

The cab over ones turned the insides into a wreck when you raised the cab. Everthing ended up on the dash.

The american Volvo and international are shit. Peterbilt 379 Peterbilt 359 and the kenworth W900 L are the best trucks ever built the Kenworth K100, and Peterbilt 352 are the best trucks ever built as as far as cab overs go

Good trucks

MOST OF THESE TRUCKS HAD STERLING QUALITY ENGINES WITH GREAT RELIABILITY AND FUEL MILAGES! THE NARRATOR MUST HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT 4 CYLINDER ECONOBOX FOREIGN SHIT , AND BASES FUEL MILEAGES OF BIG TRUCKS AGAINST THEM!!

I don’t know who makes this list they are full of crap I’ve been working on these trucks for 35 years especially the ford cl9000 the cab over freightliners

AI is getting out of hand.

Buy a new truck you wanna see electric problems there doodah!!!

International truck.

Lol😮😅 i drive a 2001 Gmc. It has 222540 miles. Big rig. 1997. 2 nd engine. 847093 miles

The presenter proves once again that he likes to get high and read Wikipedia and jumble all of his facts. The first truck the d50 was never sold in the United States other than a pickup truck never a commercial vehicle. And the last truck the a.m. general was produced for the military by the military and although some examples may have made it into civilian life it was never meant to be used that way. Thanks for your revisionist history.

I have just scribed

This guy hss a hearted of cab overs i drove a Mack cab over it was the best❤!!

Pretty sad effort..

Never heard of dodge 50

Well shut my mouth they don't make any more these trucks

How could you possibly make a video about the worst trucks when you obviously don't know shit about trucks? Well here is a video that proves that anyone can do it!

GM big trucks were junk!! Make your living working on big trucks, last thing you want is that "bow tie" in your garage!!!

PLEEEEASE do a minimum of research before posting videos.....!!!!!!! Every truckdriver in the world gets frustrated over the absurde ignorance shown here....

AI generated

Did the government hire you to talk shit about the good old trucks,?

This is total b.s 💩

Ai garbage

you dont know nothing

American trucks are the best

This is a horrible video with useless information that’s not conducive to the videos being shown these eastern content creators really need to do better

One of the worst trucks I ever drove was peterbilt.

3rd generation ihc heavy duty truck builder all builders offerd many rngines and tranmissions combos with various hp ratings

This guy or people don't know shit from Shinola Cab overs are known to ride shity sitting over the front tires plus fuel consumption

Engine Failure is what GM is known for

It is clearly obvious you know nothing about trucks nor can you even do a semblance of research on what you're spouting off about on everyone of them you say no more details are available evidently you didn't look very damn hard all the big trucks use the exact same transmission and rear ends and engines and as far as all of them having electrical system problems that was the way things were done back then God bless the time when there were no computers in a truck where there is nothing but electrical system problems
