1994 Toyota 4Runner, SR5 V6 4WD, only has 146k on it, runs like a Kenyan. We keep in in very good condition. It was our 3rd car for a while until we the wife's commuter car out to pasture. Replacement parts / repairs have only been for wear items, and it does a good job towing the snowmobiles. Our mechanic has said on several occassions "Don't ever replace this car".

Don't plan to anytime soon.

I drive a 2005 GMC 2500 HD crew cab 4x4.  I just love the Duramax Diesel engine and the Allison transmission.  I had to have one after I started selling them!  I am a car salesman who is very addicted to cars!  My problem is that I like way too many different cars.  My dream car is a 1967 GTO......maybe in a few months, finally!

That Duramax and Allison combo make for one bad pickup Dan. I would venture to guess that you work at a GMC-Pontiac dealer?

My boss has an '03 Chevy identical to yours and he can't say enough good things about it.

And yet another Jeep!  Too bad GM is considering buying Chrysler

The thing that gets me nervous about the Duramax are the aluminum heads. That just doesn't seem right on a diesel, since they run so hot.

My problem with them was the unreliable injectors, that you had to pull the valve covers (IIRC) to get too. 

Now mate a cummins to that alison tranny, put them into the Ford body, we would have my dream truck.

The injectors carry a 200K warranty now! Damn!

Cummins engine with an Alison trans and Ford body would be pretty OK

I'm not brand loyal, but I did get screwed on a Dodge Truck with 38k miles on it by their warranty department, chevy trucks, IMO are downright ugly.  And I've had good luck with Fords of late, jury is still out how long my 6.0 lasts, but I have 65k miles on a 2005, and Ford covered the Turbo, EGR cooler, and HPOV under their 100k warranty.

I'm amazed we haven't had a couple more people come on and say they also drive a Jeep.  ;D
