I don't know how big the hp difference is from 3.0 to the 4.0, but the 3.0 is terrible, he only gets 15mpg too, and very cramped interior, i wouldn't buy one. one time i reached over and floored it on the highway, it did so little it was downright embarrassing for him, i actually felt bad. lol Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: backwoods boy on March 13, 2008, 09:33:03 PM well im 99% sure on the chevy thing lol unless i get a 6.0

Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: Young Gun on March 14, 2008, 03:27:09 PM Most reliable vehicle we have own was a 90's F150. I think it was a 95? But man, that thing wouldn't die. It always had atleast 500lbs of crap in the back and the odometer has rolled twice. Has probably 800k miles on it. We sold it a long time ago, but we still see it driving around. Can't beat that ;D
Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: backwoods boy on March 14, 2008, 03:43:37 PM how many miles donkey gimme a call i left my number w/ one of your guys yesterday i think his name was dan but here it is anyway 321 684 3033

Can't beat that ;D the odometer dont go to 999999? if not, it goes to 99999 and that would mean it rolled 8 times. Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: Chevy1500z71 on March 14, 2008, 03:44:04 PM Honda's sucks, Toyota's suck and dodge are plain cheep, low quality and normally wont last you like a Chevy or ford(excluding fords diesels) will, Chevys normally have more power than ford. don't buy a newer truck, there aint nothing more reliable than a 88-95 Chevy pickup with a 350/454 tbi... nothing. no other comes close as far as aftermarket and cheep as hell to work on, there aint a foreign piece of crap out there that can beet an old 350. I'm not a ford fan at all but the older fords with the 4.9 in line 6 will pretty much last forever, just not as nice as an equal year Chevy. pretty much any American made pickup with an i6 is normally reliable
rangers suck, i can barely fit in one and the ext cab is a joke. Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: Chevy1500z71 on March 14, 2008, 03:51:06 PM 90s f150s were reliable but WAY BEHIND,they still had solid front axles. fords 90s trucks looked comparable to Chevys trucks of the 80s. but they were reliable because they were really simple. the chevy was more advanced and just as reliable if not more at the time.
argue solid front axles all you want but the truth is the only thing they are good for is runing your truck in mud up to the windows, so unless you enjoy destroying your truck, wouldnt you rather have ifs that rides smooth or solid front that rides like a dump truck? i should find the article of a 350tbi runing to a million miles, it went thru 3 transmitions in that time tho...

Ford just switched to common rail on their diesels in 08 when Chevy switched in 01. say what you will, ford has always been playing catch up and you know its true. so am i saying fords arrent reliable... well no, not really(excluding diesels) just way behind and for the most part allot slower. another example of playing catch up just came to mind- the 454ss came out and ford counters it with the first lighting that had a big ole 351 in it. it goes back to the muscle car days boys, they have always been playing catch up when it comes to power and everything else. so if i were to say i wouldnt buy a ford it wouldnt be because of reliability it would be just because Chevy offers far more. now dodge on the other hand, id say reliability is the reason i wouldnt buy. if you wana go fast get a dodge or a chevy, if you want to go fast and make it home get a chevy, and if you want to go slow and make it home-ford... Toyota, well thats just a joke, they build a bottom of the barrel 3/4 ton then call it a half ton and act like they got the baddest 1/2 ton around when really they got a bottom of the mill 3/4 ton.sorry if im offending ford fans but im not realy saying they suck, just countering what fox17 is saying to me about real trucks ride rough. Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: backwoods boy on March 14, 2008, 11:16:06 PM nahh i only sank my mazda the rest i just used anyhoo lookin for somethin to finance 01 or newer really want an 02 sentra ser spec v but im not sure on reliability dont care about the rest of the stuff just mechanical reliability
Title: Re: reliable vehicles Post by: kfx400rob on March 15, 2008, 10:54:24 PM its tough to buy something strictly for reliability, theres alot of reliable trucks out there, no one can say which is the most reliable. you have to have some preference.
