Motor Trend list most reliable used trucks available - Toyota, Chevrolet, and GMC dominate

I'm shocked the Ford 3v Triton V8 didn't make the list. They can last tens of thousands of miles sometimes with regular maintenance.

Misspelled “ten thousand” (singular).

No car company is perfect, but that thing is a world class POS.

The only thing worse than that Ford V8 is every Powerstroke diesel made since they killed off the old 7.3 Liter engine. Ford truck loyalists are stuck in a weird, abusive relationship with that company.

Gives me hope that my '17 will last another 10 years because there's no way I can afford a new one. I paid $39k or so and the same package for a '24 is going for $59k.

You can't make the list of "most reliable used trucks available" if no one is selling theirs...

Most Reliable Trucks
Chevrolet Colorado Midsize Truck
Toyota Tacoma Midsize Truck
GMC Sierra Full-Size Truck
Toyota Tundra Full-Size Truck
Chevrolet Silverado HD Heavy-Duty Truck




Yeah that's some bullshite.

We quit buying the GMs at work because of reliability. We have the 2nd biggest fleet in North America

Auto loan defaults are up and credit markets are tightening. So you'll have some new and used options soon.

But most of them will not be the models listed in this thread. Most financed Toyota and GM trucks are sold to prime borrowers. Even Ford trucks are usually sold like that. So there may be discounts here and there if the unions get back to work, but it won't be that steep for a while. And you can forget about it if it's a particularly hot model like the Yukon/Tahoe/Suburban, Tacoma, Colorado, Canyon, or Bronco.

Nissan, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Hyundai, Kia, and Chrysler on the other hand are a different story. There will be a lot of cash on the hood of new ones pretty soon if not already. That's where you'll want to go if you are interested in a very good deal. They depend on a lot of sub prime loans to move vehicles to people with 500-600 credit scores - and those are exactly who are getting squeezed out of the lending market right now. Basically a big part of their core audience can't afford their cars anymore.

All bets are off if the UAW strike continues though. I know they are hitting Ford really hard right now - essentially shutting down Super Duty production. They are also not building any Chevy Colorados or Express Vans - both of which are hot sellers.

Where is the data?
