It's not where we've been, it's where we are now! And no papaw, it's not bed time yet. Don't you have an AARP membership to fill out?
Jesse i did talk to one mechanic that said he very rarely ever works on Tacomas even older models.
Just change the oil regularly.
He said stay away from Dodge though.
Great resale on the toyota's.

If you loved your jeep like you say...I'd at least go drive a Tacoma. They are worth the money IMO. I'd like to have one and park my Mega for the winter.
Now that we got the Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Toyota debates going. . . And Brian, Jesse, and Chad are sorting through the obstacles that come with whatever funky love trio they have going on. . .
I wouldn't be afraid of higher mileage vehicles. 100-120-130k miles isn't much anymore. You find the guy that bought it new, put 120k miles on it, and you can tell it was his pride and joy. Then you buy it off him and bloody up the tailgate. You will know a beat truck from one that someone really took pride in owning. You've seen them. Someone with maintenance records and a clean vehicles is who I like to buy a used vehicle off of.
I grew up a Chevy guy. Work trucks I like the F350/450/550 series. I also like the Dodge's with 5.9L Cummins and manual transmission. Dang shame they don't sell them with 5.9 anymore. Dang shame Dodge is owned by foreigners. Dang shame GM sold out. Hate to argue on Jesse's thread, but Ford is the only auto maker who made it through without government assistance. Sorry if you aren't a Ford fan Just 1 More. I've owned them all. I've spent money repairing them all. I have come to respect Ford a lot more post bail out.

Doesn't matter when you are buying used with 100,00+ miles... You are supporting your local community at that point.
2009 Ford took 5.9 Billion from the DOE loan program to support a $14 billion plan to reorient its lineup toward more fuel-efficient vehicles.
I am not arguing and muddying Jesse's thread anymore. Truthfully, I think they all suck. Thanks for the facts.
Working in a Chevy store I wouldn't be afraid to buy a truck with a 5.3 in it. It's one of the best engines they made besides the 4.3 they used to put in the S10. Ford F-150 is also good. They did have some issues with the spark plugs on the tritons and I believe the manifolds. But with regular maintenance any truck could last. As stated before even a truck with a few more miles isn't bad!
