"The 3.0 diesel engine provides great power for towing and excellent fuel efficiency, achieving over 30 mpg."

"The Silverado, especially the diesel version, offers incredible range."

"TBI 5 speed GMT400 trucks are great bang for the buck. No Toyota tax, dirt cheap to fix."

"Pre 2005 Chevy trucks, including the old 80s and 90s models, are worth rebuilding and can be made new again for a fraction of the cost of a new truck."

Toyota Tacoma

"My family has all nissan and their good plus the people at the dealership here are nice and reliable"

"The new frontier is regarded as the most reliable Japanese midsize right now."

"Nissan Frontier. Ideally 2011+; otherwise check the radiator for pink fluid. If it's got it, run. If it doesn't, change out the radiator after you buy. It's worth the hassle because it's vastly cheaper than a Toyota Tacoma, and close enough to as reliable."
