The car market is way to wild right now. What makes me even more worried is the number of cars that have been in accidents, or salvage titles, that are finding their way into the mainstream dealerships and forums for sale. Crazy times.

[bubbacharpentier]

Current prices are crazy. Bought a 2013 Tahoe with Z71 package and 108k miles for $18, 500 in August 2020. I felt like it was a good deal then and now seeing what they going for makes me glad I got one then. I’ll replace the parts on it when needed and drive it forever. I can’t see spending 30k on something with 100k miles or 70k for new.

I bought a 2002 Silverado 2500 6.0 4L80 in 2011, it had 75k miles, new BF All Terrains, color matched cap LEER, no rust, new Fisher plow. I paid 12k its loaded except leather try to find that now for that price! Ive plowed towed vacationed in New England weather, its amazing in snow plows like a tank and only had fuel pump and Knock sensors and wheel bearings esp commercial plowing. I still have it 11 years rust now starting to catch up but I still love it.

I am tempted to sell my 2007 Chevy Silverado HD 2500 for a smaller truck but watching this reinforces that I have a very good and reliable truck. Thank you guys.

Also Nathan, great choice on your top truck!! The f150 5.0 v8 I bought recently hands down the best value I found…..2011, fully loaded f150 with the coyote, 6 speed, actual steel doors, 4x4, 3.73e locker. I bought from a family that just babied this truck and kept it spotless. I was shocked that compared to the base model 2013-2015 trucks I could afford….this truck is SUPER nice.

Horne Ford in Arizona. Prices are absolutely insane. They wanted 33k for a single cab work truck f150, white, no options. And over 50k for a Ford Ranger Lariat.

The last vehicle I bought at a dealership was a 99 Chevy Silverado in 2011. I'm still driving the truck and just finished replacing the water pump on it and renewed the licence so I can drive it again. It's been a very reliable truck for me. I've bought 3 vehicles since, and all 3 were bought privately. I bought a 2000 Dodge Caravan, (not Grand) and I paid $500.00 for that van. After that I bought a 1998 Ford Windstar, also for $500.00. This past summer, I bought a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan for $1000.00. I've been extremely happy with each purchase. Yes I've had to do some work on each, currently I'm looking for a new engine for the 2000 Caravan, and the Ford Windstar got t-boned in an accident in January, so it got totaled out...which is why I'm looking for an engine for the 2000 Caravan to put it back into service. The 2006 Grand Caravan has a coolant leak and I've got the components to replace parts for that.
But overall, I don't plan on buying from any dealership until the prices become reasonable again and I need a vehicle I can't get through a private deal.

My best friend has the dodge 2500 with the 24-valve 4x4. I think it's a 2001. It looks gorgeous and sounds like a dream at 300, 000 miles. He paid $9000 for it 5 or 6 years ago. The transmission went out last year and he had a local transmission shop rebuild it with better than OEM parts. What a truck!

[josephdunkle]

I like Nathan's pick of the GM HD 6.0 Vortec combo. No diesel turbos, injectors, or DEF to worry about.

[TheCamster]

Thank you Nathan for recognizing the “Brodozer” wheels. I see that so much these days and try not to get irritated at them because their not my truck. Still is annoying lol. Thank you guys for all your videos, most honest and fun automotive channel!.

[helenslack]

My 2007 f150 xl just hit 90, 000 miles. 4.2 l v6 five speed stick. 3.73 posi rear end. Somehow still no rust no real mucks or scratches. I look at new trucks and go best to keep my truck been paid for over 10 years does all I need.

[danthompson]

6.0 gas gm can not be beat We have ran them will over miles in our service company

[JohnDoe-udcc]

I just sold my 2011 Tacoma Sport 4x4 4door 6’bed. The truck was in exceptional shape with only 97k on it. I had it listed for $29k and had a list of people trying to buy it because it was they said it was nicest one under $30k. The problem we ran into was the banks didn’t want to lend on it. It was because of it’s age and because of today’s crazy supply and demand market driving prices higher than KBB value. I had 3 super excited buyers fall through because of the banks. I ended up selling it to a cash buyer

[rysterstech]

One truck to avoid is a 2004-10 f150 with the 3v 5.4 engines, they have oil sludge buildup and when they happens, new entire engine. The 4.6 3V and the 5.0 are excellent engines, but the 3v 5.4 is horrible. The 6.8 V10 is a bulletproof engine you could get in the E-Series and the super duty from 99-2010, although it was a gas guzzler.

[mannyc]

I love when Nathan and Andre get together 😄👏🏼👍🏼

[shreksexy]

No love for the V8 Dakota? C'mon guys! Ram/Dodge needs to make them again, what you guys think? Great video! Keep it coming guys!

[gbaileyo]

93 4.0 ranger is a OHV engine. After 2001 they went to a OHC design 4.0

[jackiejorpjomp]

I would recommend a 2010 or older ford f150 with the 2 valve 4.6l V8. Cheap to operate very reliable engine. Just not too good on mpg but why are you buying a truck if you care about mpg.

[samwolf]

I bought a Mazda B4000 because of your series for $6000 from the original owner.

[joshuasobocan]

People always seem to forget that the colorado/canyon from 2009-2012 came with a 5.3 v8 without fuel management. Such a good and reliable truck. I have a 2005 4.0l ranger 4x4 thats in good shape and its ok truck, not the most reliable. I also have a colorado v8 and its better on gas than the ranger, can tow more, rides smoother, I had much better luck with reliability, its faster, and is just a much better overall truck. On the used market they hover around the same price but the colorado v8 is a better bang for your buck.
