The simple fact is Toyota makes a superior product. My Toyota pickup has 300,000 + on it and is still running great. By the time my Ford reached 100,000 it needed a new engine and tranny

Nice to hear that ---- we're looking a a truck for our son, and are wavering between a Ford Ranger and a Toyota...

That still a tossup. The Ranger is a Mazda underneath those Ford emblems.

OTOH, I got over 230,000 out of a Chevy pickup, but my Toyota blew the engine at 82,000. I have also found Toyota dealerships to be extremely shady.

Then it won't matter.

He won't have it long enough for mileage to be a concern.

Same with my GMC pickup - flip-off from GM after it burned through 4 transmissions and three clutches and got permanent, unfixable vapor lock, and 3 water pumps and numerous other junk after only 130,000 miles. Toyota produces quality product and stands behind it.

I'm happy with my '99 Ranger. Of course, it only has about 30,000 or so miles on it.
