Best? 2005 Tundra double cab with the 4.7 V8. At 230,000 miles it’s had a couple of timing belts and other various maintenance items but nothing else. I drove it for 120k miles and among other things for 3 years it pulled an 18ft tandem axle trailer all around Alabama that contained the local high schools band equipment. My youngest son took it when he got his license at 16 and still owns it. I think he’s 25 now?
Worst? 1977 Pontiac Phoenix. Bought new. Warranty carried it for a while, then I gave up when the trans puked. GM eventually paid me back for most of that repair after they lost the lawsuit. Charlie Johnson was the service manager. Only service mgr I ever knew on a first name basis:
