What is the most reliable truck you ever used?

What kind of luck have you had with your transmissions. Every 1/2 ton GM truck I ever owned had the transmissions replaced before 100K miles. Pure junk.

1993 Z71 when I sold it had 270k+ original motor and transmission

2002 has 302k original motor and transmission

Ex wifes 09 Tahoe had 246k when sold, all original

My 14 is a POS, already puffs smoke on startup with 146k, ac already replaced.

Im looking at pre 21 Tundras now because GM and Ford refuse to make good trucks anymore. And now the tundra has a baby motor with a turbo on it that has been having issues.

93 4x4 Toyota Ext Cab manual. Over 400,000 and deciding new lower intake and water pump or look for another one. Mainly just maintenance through the life of the truck.

I had a 1994 F150 with the same 4.9 straight 6 with a 5 speed manual. It had about 270,000 miles on it when I was forced to sell it. It ran great, would pull anything you put behind it, but of course couldn’t pass a scooter on the highway! I’d love to find another one.

I had a 96’ 150 with a 4.9.

I remember it being kind of a **** off the line but at highway speeds it ran good.

'89 4 runner with the removable top.

she started out blue, rolled it, rebuilt it, got her repainted blue.

rolled it again, rebuilt it, painted it red that time so the emergency vehicles could find it

she had 280k on her and was getting 28 mpg, when she finally got totaled again.

In 1975 I work a summer job in road construction. I got stuck driving a 1963 Mack dump truck. That thing was a beast! I don't think you could tear it up if you tried. I got turned over by a tornado, hit by dozers, you name it. I know they were still running it in the late 1990's.
