I have a 2012 Tacoma 4x4 with 236K miles. She's been a fantastic truck but has been throwing a few codes that point towards fuel injectors, a mass air flow sensor, and possibly a new fuel pump.
I'm trying to talk myself in to a 2021 Tundra Limited 4x4 but 38K is a lot after not having a note for 5 years.
Find you a good indy mechanic and he can have that Tacoma running like a top again for $1500. Beats forking out $38K.
Your money though baw.

I'm a Toyota guy, but I will give props to Ram. They have come light years over the past 15 years or so. I rented a basically new (under 3500 miles) Ram in 2012 and I can still recall it being one of the nicest vehicles I had ever driven.

These new tundras and tacomas with turbos won’t touch 250k
People have an unwarrented fear of turbos. They are more complex than a non-boosted engine but the durability of engines is about design/engineering and not whether it is NA or boosted. Betting against Toyota/Lexus durability is a suckers bet which is not to say they can't engineer a "bad" engine it is simply they are statistically the least likely to do so.

The Ridgeline is an excellent pickup (not a truck technically). It can easily handle what most full sized truck buyers actually put their trucks through.
Yeah I love mine
I don't have any need to tow anything or do anything that a full size truck does so it's perfect for me

I have a 1987 Nissan Hardbody Desert Runner only 1,000 were built with 952,000 miles on it. Actually retired it from a daily driver with 450,000 miles.
Just could not destroy the truck.
I made this truck into a true 4x4 off-road truck, which I ran off-road in the desert racing it. Destroyed the collectors valve. I bought it to be a 4x4 and not a collectors item.
It was built in Smyrna, TN.
2018 Nissan frontier 4x4 4.0 V6 2nd gen lifted.
Still got a lot of life as it is a proven platform.
Probably built in Canton, MS.

Did they not include the Ford Ranger?

I like my Ridgeline. Does exactly what I need it to.

I have two trucks.
A 2021 Ram 1500. Have around 35k on it, so far so good, love the interior and the ride
I have a 96 Nissan “hardbody” I bought in 1999. It had 27k on it when I bought it then for 8500.. has 280k now and is doing fine…

A great thing about Ridgelines is, they are made in Alabama by NON-UNION baws and bawettes!
Ford & Rams made by union POS's.
GM's made by union or Mexicans.

1997 era Ford Ranger had 4cyl XLT 4x4 limited edition sold in California. Bought in Jan 1997 from a guy who bought it, and decided it was way underpowered for $15,500 with 750 miles.
I used it as a daily driver.
325,000 miles sold it.
My only complaint was changing the $85 timing belt. 6 hour job. Did that 4 times. Change your fluids which were easy. Changed from Ford to aftermarket u-joints which had grease zerk’s. Really had no issues except signal switch box around steering wheel changed once.
Gas mileage wise it was a great truck. Cheap on tires.
Speed wise it was a dog.
Guys in the 4x4 club used mostly 4.0 V6.
3.0 V6 was weaker, but not a bad engine.
4.0 V6 guys blew transmissions due to heat build up in a tight area. Those trucks were a blast to drive.

Ridgeline is not a TRUCK!!
It is, and a great Baw trigger
And no, I don't own one. I've had really good luck with the two F150s I've had since 2003.

The GM vehicles must be omitting the multiple transmissions you’ll have to buy to get to that level.
Guess none of my trucks over the past 20+ years got the memo that they were supposed to shite out the trans.

I agree I only had one tranny go since the 1978.
It was a due to a bad transmission cooler / radiator all in one piece. It was on a new truck that did not make it off the lot. Dealer switched it out to a separate transmission cooler and radiator.
I am pretty consistent on changing my rear end fluid and tranny fluid & filter if applicable which probably helps.

My Tundra is doing fine at 320k. No major repairs, just maintenance type stuff.
Posted on 1/19/24 at 7:39 pm to member12
I have a 2013 Tundra with a 5.7 V8
It has 220k miles and I have ONLY changed the oil.
Best vehicle I have ever owned.

I have a good mechanic for the work but I’ve also got to deal with my “envie” for something new. I love my truck but I’ve always wanted a full size truck with a V8 engine.
Practical me says keep the Tacoma.
Me who drives a lot and likes to LIKE what I’m driving is pushing hard for a new ride with newer features, more room and more power.

I don't ever recall seeing a set of truck nuts on a Honda Ridgeline. This cannot be a truck and most mentioned as the winners in this thread are neutered trucks.
