The best truck you can buy is one that fits your budget and that YOU like. You don’t want to be married to your truck payment. As far as quality goes. I’m a Toyota Tacoma fan and a for fan but everyone is different. UNFORTUNATELY ….. nobody (even Toyota) makes an exceptional quality vehicle in this day and age. I have had a lot of trucks , 3/4 , 1/2 and midsize. I get a new one every year. I prefer midsize because I like to use it for trail riding in the woods and the full size usually does not fit down the trails and exploring I like to do. Bottom line , you work hard for your money and no one pays for it accept you. Don’t try to keep up with the guy next door. You’ll just be unhappy on the long run. Have a great day ✌🏻

It was a lifestyle truck that never went off-road. Eventually I sold it and used my '92 Caddy Brougham pulling a small Home Depot trailer rental. And even that was once every couple years. I'm over the truck thing now and stick with sedans.

But GMC prices were in the mid 60’s & out the door approaching $70,000. I bought a AWD V6 Honda Ridgeline Sport 3 months ago & saved myself $24,000. I’ll get use to it. Kept previous 2 trucks for over 14 yrs each.

It’s just nice to know that there are so many brands with so many configurations of pickups in this country. Personally I like the Toyota brand for reliability and resale value but they don’t have the really big tow haulers. Everybody can buy a truck for their individual needs. I would just recommend not buying one of the new generation model of any brand. Wait for the second or third year to give the manufacturer time to work any problems out and you’ll likely avoid the issues that come with them.

Love our Rams. Nearly 200k on our 2012 Hemi and runs great. Very reliable truck. Had a 2004 Hemi before that and also a great truck.

Sticking with the current generation tundra. Better balance between reliability and specs for what I need to do

I bought an new 2017 f250 6.2 gas crew cab 6.75 bed and it is still under 16,000 miles. Great truck

My favorite truck is one I own. It's a 1999 Pearl White, new style Silverado 4x4 5.3 V-8 with black leather interior and all the toys of its day. It has a chrome bull guard and diamond tool box over a 100 gal diesel tank. The truck has enough chrome to get you home on your worst day. It is my forever truck. I would never trade it for any of the over engineered monsters you featured, and I REALLY mean that literally. Hard Stop... Mic Drop...

2017 Nissan Titan XD, single cab, 5.6 liter v8, 7 speed trans, long bed. No frills just a good solid work truck. Best truck I've owned so far.

Mpg is always a concern. But I wish you would do this same segment on engine/transmission reliability and lifespan. Having a truck that gets great gas mileage doesn't matter much if all that saved money on fuel gets dumped right back into the vehicle on repairs when 40-60k miles later the engine or tranny starts having problems or fails. Also realistic OTD pricing is very different from msrp. Wish you would do a segment on which manufacturers rake you over the coals the Most with actual average pricing Over msrp, and which manufacturers vehicles tend to be closest to MSRP. For the intended informative goal though, great segment Scotty.

Thank you Scotty for everything. What Toyota tundra would you recommend what years I can’t afford a new one but trying to buy a good one

Love the concept of the maverick. It will never be a serious workhorse but I live in a townhouse with a single car garage and just don't need the big truck. What I need is throw bikes in back, carry small furniture like bookshelves or a fridge. Maybe tow a small camper or small utility trailer. I know toyota and nissan have them and are selling them in other markets so why don't they bring them to North America?

Pretty sure it has something to do with CAFE regulations and chicken tax. Thanks to our wonderful politicians and EPA. Another shining example of government overreach. Just imagine if we could get these small, unmolested diesel pickups that are sold worldwide...

I currently drive a '21 Tundra. Before that, I had a couple of Tacomas. Since owning those 3 pickups, I've never paid for a single repair. Can't say the same about my last Chevy that had a rear window latch come off in my hand OR the Ford that left me stranded out-of-state because the wiring harness melted together (shortly after the warranty expired). And now that I'm in my 60s--I don't have time for that kind of crap.

@michaelc8606 7 ай бұрын

And after paying to have the wiring harness replaced on the Ford (and Ford Motor Co basically telling me to "suck it") I realized I couldn't afford to drive a Ford ever again.
