Ford is still the best selling truck in America. Chrysler is still a lagging third in the big three. Toyota has a growing following.
Not if you put Chevrolet and GMC together

Surprising results to be honest. I am surprised. Would have expected Yota to be higher or at least closer to Ram. Did not realize GM/Chevy were ahead of the Ferds.

Who's the gay guy with the Honda?
Not one single Nissan Titan.
I don't know and have never known a Titan owner. My SIL bought a Frontier and is very happy for now.

Truth is that gayass Honda will still be running strong when the GM's have all taken a big shitThanks Mike, I needed that!
No disrespect to the Honda owner though
(I'm a big believer in Honda and Toyota quality, and the inherent shittyness of GM - sorry if anyone is offended)
In comparison to what? Trucks used to be junk at 100,000 miles. Zero chance a half ton in the 90s could do what a half ton today can. Today's HD pickups get double or triple the mpg's. Comfort amd ride quality is also always improving. Sure we can take certain years of trucks and models from each and make an example of good trucks. But we have come a long ways.
Today many of the big 3 don't make it to 100,000, countless recalls, delays in repair, half-ass patches to fix issues. Delays in getting parts, it goes on and on.
GM currently has a recall for 721,000 trucks with the 6.2 engine, Ford has their issues. Also I would beg to differ, many of the early 90's were very stout.
My 2000 Chevy has over 400,000 miles on it, yes I replaced the engine, but I have no expectations of my Tundra going for 20 years and 400,000 miles. There are too many electronics in every facet of the truck, I don't think it will last as long.
One of my guys has a Ridgeline. It looks good. He is a diehard Honda guy. Sold his 2004 Tacoma and CR-V to buy it. Makes sense for him and the occasional need for a bed.
Take a 2000-2010 truck and they are likely still running, although wrought with rust.
I've got a 2022 that I don't trust. No worries. I bought the extended warranty and kept one of the old ones for a backup.
Yeah. You're right. The new ones are really really nice when performing as designed. Hard to give up the old ones though.
15-20 years ago I had a fleet of half a dozen 73-87 Chevy trucks (and one 77 F250 hi-boy.) I needed 4. Had six to park one (or two) when it went down and snag a spare. Those were the days you could keep a spare $250 tranny, $250 transfer case, and $300 engine on the shelf and swap them out yourself when you had a spare moment. They weren't as reliable but they were cheap and easy to work on.
Sadly. . . Those days are gone. Wish I had an answer. Like a good combination of today's comfort and power, with the reliability of 20yr old trucks, and easy to work on yourself 30-40yr old trucks.
Dang. I re-read that and sounded like an old man talking.

In all seriousness, I like my Ridgeline. It's very practical for my needs and has more pros than cons. I loved my Silverado, but after the major engine problems that I experienced, twice, I was done. I ordered a bed cap from Alibaba and it will make the truck even more practical. It's coming on a very slow boat, but I saved a ton by ordering directly from the manufacturer. I ordered one Storage Box.
They gave us what we wanted….. But at a steep cost in both $$$$$ and reliability…… Then the government stepped in and added more BS ( fuel economy and emissions) too make them more unreliable……
I will bite for conversation.
This is why toyota is getting popular. People are paying up to buy toyota products now for the reliability and they also dropped the ball with recalls and engine failures. Time will only tell how this latest truck holds up.
But yes, certain era trucks are just built right. They are not comparable with today's trucks tho.
