I know 3 people that have what should be good used American trucks. I own 2 Toyotas and a Lexus, and don't expect Toyota reliability from US trucks, BUT look at these 3. All one owner, v8, fwd. They were all serviced regularly and not abused or thrashed by owners.
97 Ford, 62000 miles, replace engine $320094 Chevy, 85000 miles, burns quart of oil every 2500 miles, smokes out exhaust. needs rebuilt already.
96 Chevy 63000 miles, replace trans $2600, fix broke fwd $450I have about 340,000 on my Toyota fleet and never had major issues like these. My '88 pickup has 128,000 miles and burns NO oil.
Any of you hear of similar stories with American trucks? With similar Toyota trucks? Is this real typical of US trucks? I thought that at least the pickup trucks would be well built.
