289K mi on the Explorer, 186K on the green Ranger. Another 194K on the black Ranger not in the pic.



+1. I've owned four Rangers, and never had a bad one.
 
hello guys,

i need opinion, which one has low maintenance cost between Chevy colorado 3.6L V6 gas engine or 2.8L I4 diesel engine?

and for comparison among Toyota Tacoma 3.5L V6, Chevy Colorado 3.6L V6 and Ford F-150 3.5L V6 Ecoboost, which one has low maintenance cost, high durable (i will use 5-10 years, more than 300k miles), and low mpg (i need experience based on real on the road not EPA)? and also can all use regular gas?

for towing reason, maybe in year 2-3 times towing needed.

i dont talk about power because i know who is better in hp and torque among them laugh

i need more opinion in real on the road because this is gonna be my one and only daily driven laugh

American small Diesel engines suck, not as reliable as their gas cousins.

I think they'll all have "low mpg", but you probably want high mpg

Then perhaps you should be looking at something else.

Ranger seems to be favourite above. I saw a new one here last week, and it looked pretty hefty, but I'm not American, and maybe the older ones are not so supersize.

EDIT: Looked it up. Apparently the new one was designed in Australia and is built in Thailand, and isn't (or wasn't in 2017 anyway) available in the USA. ENDEDIT
