3 Pickup Trucks That Last Forever (And The 2 That’ll Bankrupt You)

Same brand. Same body. Sometimes nothing more than a different year on the title — and one version runs forever while the other hands you a repair bill big enough to buy a second truck. In this video: a Ford diesel so overbuilt it’s become genuinely sought-after on the used market — and the replacement that followed it, one of the most trouble-prone diesels ever made, hiding in a truck that looks identical from ten feet away. A Toyota V8 that a customer drove to a million miles, Toyota bought back, tore apart, and found essentially like new — and the twin-turbo V6 that replaced it in 2022, which promptly got recalled over debris left inside the engine during manufacturing. And a number one with no evil twin at all — no cursed year, no wallet-draining successor to fall into — because this specific engine was simply never given the failure mode that’s wrecking the others. Here’s how to tell the good ones from the traps before you hand over a dollar.
