Best reliable truck for consistent long distance travel? - 1
Curious what the best either pick up or full size (not any bigger then a f150/tundra/silverado though!) is for both reliability and cheapest to fix. Also for gas mileage. I'm looking to travel around the country very frequently hauling either a camper, or an in-bed pop up camper (the one that fits in the bed of your truck), so there's that.
I'm assuming Toyota, but I've been told Fords are cheapest to fix. Thoughts? I'm looking to stay around 3-3.5k.
I had a 2000 ford ranger that I loved, it made it to 235,000 miles before I blew the head gasket in it mudding. I bought it for 250$ with just under 200k miles, put about 1500 into it on brakes bondo exhaust and other things.
If you do a lot of highway driving or heavy hauling I would recommend a Dodge with a Cummins diesel. Chevy and Ford Powerstroke diesels are lame in comparison. The Dodge gets very good mileage and will last forever. A diesel engine should be undersized a little bit compared to a gas engine where you want it slightly oversized. Diesels need to run hotter.

- Would a long travel suspension kit built for a Ford Ranger Edge/Sport also fit on a Ranger XLT? I found a long travel suspension kit made for a 2002 ranger edge/sport but I have a XLT same year. Would it still fit on and function the same?
- Can I drive an older car long distance? I'm planning on buying an older car, either a 1984 Monte Carlo, 1999 Cadillac Eldorado, or a 2000 Ford Ranger and drive either one to Fort Polk from Miami since I'm PCSing there in a month. I was wondering is it a good idea to drive an older vehicle that far even if it is well maintained? Also how hard would it be to find parts and fix a classic car like the Monte Carlo?
