What's the most reliable vehicle you've ever owned?

Fuck off on my age. I am younger than Bannon.

'57 Ford F100. They don't make them like that anymore.

No need for jumper cables. One person can push and pop the clutch to start. Just kept a mayonaise jar of gas for the carburetor in case. Thing went everywhere in Gray's Harbor and neighboring counties. No idea the mileage it ended up with but it went through about five of us siblings. From the 60s to the 80's.

Yeah I was the late 70s brother (sib 7 of 9) so it was getting up there in age (older than me).

I had an ‘05 Tacoma that I finally sold a couple years ago. Now have an ‘06 Tacoma that seems like it will run forever.
 
My parents had 2 mid 80s Chrysler New Yorkers, those cars never had a single problem, they also had some early 1990s Buick they put 100,000 miles on without that many problems.

I've had 2 Ford Tauras, which I got for cheap 15-25 years ago...they were both garbage. I had a 2008 Ford Escape, which was also garbage. Aside from their trucks, which are decent, Ford seems to make really bad vehicles. Chevy trucks are also bad and have the worst visibility, IMO, with their square fronts.

I think Dodge Ram trucks are the easiest to manage trucks, and have the best visibility, because of the downward slope of the hood. I had a 4 door, 2013 Dodge Ram truck that was tough and good, I bought it cheap and then drove it for 4 years, then sold it for a profit. I'd go with a Dodge Ram truck again.

You serious, Clark?

My 1992 K1500 (full size) Blazer was a fucking money pit, piece of shit.

Granted its first 10 years or so were in Utah and the salt there will eat a car alive.

I can vouch for that having lived and worked within a mile of the Pacific Ocean for 44 years now. I had never realized that a landlocked shithole like Utah could have the same issue but it makes sense.

The rodents agree.

PS @DerekJohnson mice ate the wires last spring on my wife's 1 year old Audio. About $750 bill to AllState.

Since then I've been on a mice genocide that's service our block well. 2 x industrial bait stations and I change the poison out every month. Probably have killed 200 to 300 of those fuckers in the past 8 months.

About five years ago my car was running terribly and I took it in. They told me rodents had built a nest and eaten wires in the engine. The bill was over $5,000, but fortunately Geico covered all of it. I spray the engine every couple of months now with anti-rodent spray.

My bitch face ex-wife had a 2000 SR5. The 3rd gens are great but a bit too small for a person of my height. The 4th gens were an improvement here although still no ideal for tall guys.

Also, apparently the 4th gen 4.0 V6 is one of the most indestructible motors of all time.

I thought of you right away when I the Audi of Wakanda dealer told me mice had eaten on of our wires.
