rev up your engines today by popular demand I'm gonna talk about the seven
worst trucks of 2019 now trucks are supposed to be built to
take a beating haul stuff in the bag they're supposed to be really well-made
originally most of them work in many cases the trucks were built better than
the same manufacturers cars take Ford for an example their f-150 sold them for
a long time they actually as far as I'm concerned we're better built than most
of their cars which is kind of proved today because everything after
2020 is trucks and SUVs that are based on truck platforms the only car they're
making is the Mustang everything else is a truck or SUV so they're chosen they
knew about trucks they built good trucks and actually they're giving up with
their cars now the first truck I advise you not to
buy from 2019 is the Chevy Colorado or the GMC Canyon basically the same
vehicle found the Chevy Colorado reappeared in 2015 they started making
them again and as far as I'm concerned they should have disappeared and not
reappeared don't do that magic trick please the lack of quality that GM and
GMC same company of Shawn chose up in these tanks they don't hold up over time
they have engine problems drivetrain problems I even had a customer driving down the road
the wheel collapsed in cuz the control arm broke uncalled for problems in a vehicle
that's supposed to be a pickup truck that can handle things fuel pumps
breaking down early where you gonna drop the whole gas tank to replace it I mean
just the overall design of these things it's not all that well-thought-out and
certainly not well put together now these Colorados can go from $22k all
the way up to 42,000 dollars I could think of a lot better use of the money
if you want a truck that's gonna last and you don't expect it to fall apart
before its time especially in that price range now the next pickup truck of 2019 I
wouldn't really advise you not to buy it's a 2019 Nissan Titan there's various
configurations that you can get with them the one that I'm telling you not to
is one with the gasoline engine they have started to put Cummings diesel
engines in these Titans and their Cummings diesel engines have a pretty
good history all those hey the jury's still out on those but here I'm talking
about the one that has the v8 gasoline engine their histories of problems
electrical problems leak problems for the money that you're paying you could
do much better than a nissan titan between 32 and $50,000 for Titan
depending on what you put on it if it's two-wheel drive four-wheel drive
gasoline diesel that's a lot of money you're gonna spend that kind of money
you want to make a wise decision my own customers had bought them they weren't
totally satisfied ever since Nissan was taken over by Renault a long time ago
the quality has been declining just what happened to them and in this respect and
Nissan Titan let's say you want to compare it to a Toyota pickup truck take
the little Nissan the frontiers you can compare them to the Toyota Tacoma and
you can compare the Titan to the Toyota Tundra with the Nissan Frontier and
Titan you're not getting as much for the same amount of money and this is
reflected by the market if you look at use versions of the Toyota versus used
versions of the Nissan's you can get the Nissan's much cheaper
than the Toyotas Toyota used trucks are expensive cuz people know they're good and
they get a lot for them when they sell them and since here I'm talking about
buying a brand new pickup truck you want something that's gonna be able to haul
stuff that's gonna hold up and not break down you don't want to get a lower
quality thing if anything when you buy a brand new pickup you want to get the
best quality you can right from the start and don't skimp for a few thousand
dollars here or there when you realize you're spending a lot of money to begin
with and don't try to save pennies and ended up losing dollars in a long run
now the last pickup truck I would advise you to buy is the 2019 Chevy 2500
Silverado they're already having fuel system body integrity problems
transmission and drivetrain problems and that's no you know the things are less
than a year old the Silverado 2500 land among
the lowest vehicles of all the vehicles in reliability and here again you want a
pickup truck it's gonna pull stuff that's gonna have a bed that can hold a
lot reliability is your number-one concern when you're looking at a vehicle
that has one of the lowest ratings and reliability Hey run away don't even
think about buying one of these things now the next pickup I wouldn't advise you not to buy
is the ram 3500 pickup now this isn't just my belief
Consumer Reports rated the ram 3500 as the worst vehicle of all cars and trucks
sold in the United States and that's saying something the fuel system the
transmission system and the fit and finish of the body and here's to me the
nail on the coffin just this morning I got an email from one of my fans
hey Scotty I should have listened to you I bought a Ram 3500 and I had
nothing but problems with it and I know I'm gonna lose money but what do you
think about me just getting rid of it and getting a Ford f-150 or F250
and I responded yeah it's probably a good idea but I mean a better idea
would've been you listened to me in the first place I didn't buy that Ram but
liked the looks of it and thought all on paper it can pull a lot and yadda-yadda
but there's a difference between on paper and on the asphalt road driving
down the road I mean that's what I love when you see reviews of new cars and
people tell you how great the new car is hardly know a great they're they're new
cars you gotta wait a while till they've been out there to see if they
have any problems and in the cases of 2019 Ram
hey those problems came out even during the first year imagine what they're
gonna be like when they're four or five years old so don't make a mistake like
my fan didn't buy one of these rams listen to Scotty I'm trying to help you
out yeah I gotta fix these things for a living right so when I see problems I
like passes it on I would rather see people drive around a good vehicles that
don't have problems I hate getting ripped off myself I need to see you
getting ripped off too and you might say scotty you must be nuts
he's a mechanic he fixes cars why wouldn't you want people to drive cars
to break all the time so you can make more money well hey I'm like my grandfather
good honest mechanic Oh to help people out there's plenty of
things that are gonna break on our own overtime to keep me busy
I don't need cars to keep breaking over and over and over and over again I work
by myself I don't have 50 guys with me that I can make money off their backs I
only make money off my own labor and I like helping people plus I'm getting old
I already made enough money I could retire anytime I wanted to I just do it
cuz I like doing it and helping people out
and then that's bad pickup not to buying 2019 it's another ram the ram 1500
consumer reports rated them a 2 out of 5 for reliability now that's pretty poor
now I know Ram is bragging cuz for the first time ever they sold more Ram
pickups then she'll be sold Silverado pickups that's like a race to the bottom
GM's quality's been going down for a long time just because Ram beat GM
hey that doesn't mean that much these days if they would have done it in
nineteen sixties or seventies when chevy was still doing pretty good pickup
trucks that would have meant something but no this is 2019 the world's changed
since then now here I'm especially talking about the Pentastar 3.6 v6
engine that has had a history of problems since they made them they did
the casting on the heads were wrong so some sand would get in clog up the radiators
ruin the engine I mean these things that had all kinds of problems Fiats taking
over Chrysler and now the French company owns half of Fiat Chrysler I can't
see things getting any better in the future either now if you don't listen
Scotty absolutely positively want to get a ram 1500
unless you're one that's got the v8 classic engine the Hemi engine that
chrysler has been making for a long time those are relatively dependable engines
now the rest of the vehicles they're not so much this ball joints break on the
steering system mean they got a tons of problem do not buy the one with a
Pentastar v-6 if you have to buy one the difference between what's on paper or
what's in the real world you could get impressive ratings from these v6 engines
power and towing this stuff but see what happens in the real world when they're
actually pulling a lot and towing a lot they just don't hold up like a v8 engine
does now the last pickup is the Chevy Silverado with that 4 cylinder
engine that somebody came up with its a 2.7 liter
turbocharged four-cylinder engine now here again we've got the difference
between on paper and in a real world on paper it gets better gas mileage because
it's a four-cylinder engine but those who tests are done on dynamometer not in
the real world not pulling stuff not towing stuff my experience of working on
vehicles for 52 years you take a small engine put it in a big truck those gas
mileage go right down the toilet when you start pulling things hauling a lot of
weight in it yeah when they're emptying on a dyno theoretically they get good
gas mileage but not in the real world when you're actually pulling and hauling
stuff with a small engine years ago I saw the same thing they're trying to get
better gas mileage for the pickup truck so they put in a bunch of v6 engines
instead of v8 my customers have had the v8 engines they actually got better gas
mileage with the v8 when they were pulling heavy loads then the guys did with the
v6 is because the v6 is were overwhelmed by the weight and of course the v6
wore out a lot faster than the v8 did and what is the point a buying a big
truck with a small engine if that engine wears out faster
hey you just defeated the purpose of one better gas mileage because you pull a lot
of weight you're not gonna get any better gas mileage anyways and two it's
gonna have a shorter lifespan a turbocharged four-cylinder engine
pulling the big truck believe me it's just gonna wear out faster than a v8
engine that isn't strained as much that doesn't have a turbocharger ramming all
that air in which of course is going to wear things out faster this
four-cylinder engine is it all-new engine that GM made never ever buy the
first year of any new technology especially an engine we have no idea how
these things are gonna hold up five six seven eight nine years from now this is
the first year they came out with that engine take my advice and don't buy any
of these trucks I was talking about that were made in 2019 but certainly as time
goes on don't buy a used version of one the price might be low but so is the
quality, so if you never want to miss another one
