It is, it's not really some don't like it. What a pile of Bull chit. Click bait waste of data
See what happens you build a 1950s garbage in a modern truck its gets hated
Who writes this crap?100% BS
Thak you! I won’t watch it then.
Sounds like AI generated crap.
100% correct in the Driver Return on Foot department.
The Dodge Ramcharger, Bronco II, and Scout are not pickups! A Pinto pickup was never produced by Ford and literally NEVER existed. A S10 Blazer pickup also never existed! Lots of made up stuff in here. Watch for the laughs, not the content. Very little makes sense from the poor AI voices to the pictures.
They actually did make an S10 Blazer, I've seen a few in my lifetime
The ramcharger, the bronco II, and the scout are technically trucks because they are built on a truck chassis which technically still makes them trucks, don't get mad at me look the definition up. They are technically what they call pony trucks, just like the bronco and the K5 Blazer
I’d like to add to this comment. I also think it’s funny that every compact from the 70s and 80s is less durable, less powerful and less safe than its competitors. But the video lists every compact from these 2 decades back to back to back. 😂
SUV like ram charger, Bronco, or any vehicle like this is not a Pick-up😮
@@steveperyer4850 The ram charger was built on the Dodge ram chassis, the bronco 2 was built on the Ford ranger chassis, they are considered trucks technically the proper terminology is pony trucks, most of your SUVs nowadays are built on unibodies which is not a truck, if you want to go that route then Honda Ridgeline is not a truck and neither is the Ford Maverick
This guy does not know what he talk about
It's a computer and not a very good one.
@@oldarkie3880 - And it says the same retarded BS about every truck LOL. Some of those were really good. SOme of them were crap but for other reasons than the computer said.
It AI voice. Don’t be ignorant.
Not a guy
As per your previous video you have no idea what you are talking about exactly how do defy pickup. Yes in your list there was actually some trucks that's were garbage but most of the video nonsense
i agree its like if it was made by a gen x kid that lives in california
@@retrocompaq5212 I thought it might be an AI channel.
This is a poorly done video, I cannot recommend watching.
Avoid this awful video. It appears to be the same script template cut and pasted over each truck, changing only the product name each time around. This synthetic voice bot is the world's worst, mispronouncing the most obvious and simplest of words. Awkward pauses between some words, others unnaturally mashed together. NO human being on the earth would narrate a script this way. You're calling products that were never marked as trucks 'trucks' and simply inventing others out of thin air. Cheezy click bait at best.
So I'm not supposed to pull my gooseneck with a ford courier ...got it
I have a 1990 Ford ranger pick up for 15 years it has never let me down
They are literally one of the most reliable pickups ever produced. I'm a Toyota guy, but the Ford ranger (90s models included) actually beat out Toyota in several reliability studies.
And won't
@@letsdothis9063Not according to a friend that owned one. He had a 91 Ranger and it nickled and dimed him to death.
Just repeats himself, repeatedly.
The Comanche? You can’t be serious. The 4 liter online 6 and Cherokee drivetrain were absolutely bulletproof. The 4.0 was also the quickest compact at the time and close to the quickest pickup period. Please, god, do real research before you make your totally misinformed lists. And stop with the features and safety concerns. Every damned one you mentioned was on par for its time period. And the GMC S15/Sonoma/Chevy S10 were excellent as was the hard body from Noxxan. Basically everything you have listed so far have massive followings. I sure this will just get worse as it goes on.
One of the biggest mistakes Chrysler ever made when they bought AMC was killing the Comanche, they didn't want it competing with their Dakota pickup. Why wouldn't you want that?
@@mrromantimothyThe biggest mistake was Chrysler buying them out. I get AMC was struggling financially but Chrysler ruined them and never mind the fact that Chrysler was going downhill themselves at that point anyhow which didn't help. I mean Chrysler killed off their own V8 powered Muscle Cars after 1980 and their own V8 powered Saloon's after the late 80's in exchange for ugly looking cab forward nonsense. No thanks.
Where's the Tesla cybertruck?
I guess we could add this one!
😂😂
I had a 71 ford torino pickup. I made it myself. It was a station wagon to begin with. I called it my "El Ranchino"
Just like your first video, you have made the same mistake, but you’ve made it even worse by adding the Dodge Ramcharger, the GMC Sprint, the Ford Bronco II, the Dodge D50 and the GMC S15 which are all nice trucks and should really exist.
Thank you for your feedback! @unitedcity_mc4421
These videos are plagued by reliability concerns, and underwhelming performance.
🤣It definitely failed to resonate with this consumer, leading to its discontinuation after the very first vehicle listed.
And lackluster performance when compared to its competitors.
He operates the Tanoy system on British Rail😅
"Leading to customer rejection in the marketplace and poor resale value"--- over and over and over, narrated by the world's worst voice bot. This appears to be written by AI. "WRITE ME A TWO MINUTE ESSAY ON THE FORD COURIER"
This guy is full of bullstuff
Clueless commenting on something they know nothing about.
The F-250 was a great truck my dad has had one since 2011 and its still driving 13 years later
I never heard of a pinto pickup truck 🛻
Me either but pinto was a cool car
They call them utes in Australia. But they sold a few in the US
Oh B.S. the Dodge Ramcharger was nothing more than Mopars answer to the Chevy Blazer and Ford Bronco..
It seems the narrarator is comparing the trucks to today's standards. This video is marking them unfairly. Those standards back then were completely different compared to today's.
I think you got bad infomation the 7 3 was one of the best
Right off the bat, the 1st "Truck" is an SUV. This tells me ALL I need to know about this person's automotive knowledge. I quit watching after that.
It's unbelievable to actually comprehend but almost everything they say in this video is not correct
Who would have thought that a compact truck wouldn't carry large loads. Gmc Sprint with a big block is under powered?
I feel like I lots brain cells watching this video.
Back in the 70s we had fuel storage this is why we started makeing small cars and trucks
Dodge ramchargers are damn good off road vehicles and are simple and tough.
The ford courtier was a good trucks good on gas and price i would love to have one today
I was waiting on a comment that they would rust before your eyes, but there is no real world experience in the writers. The best comment here is that you just mute the video and watch.
They had that 2.3 l Brazilian made 4 cylinder, that had more nickel content than the earlier 2.3, bulletproof.
The Jeep Comanche was a dieing auto company’s bold design that failed only because the company AMC was going bankrupt. (They still had many great ideas just no capital to pull it off.) Then Dodgers Chrysler bought them and they already had trucks, they kept it on for a year or two before scrapping it
What a bunch of word salad nonsense. Many mistakes. An S10 Blazer was unibody?? No it was not. The pickup was derived from the blazer? No it was not. An El camion SS 396 would NOT be underpowered!!
This video is good if you mute the volume and just watch it
Writers for this are clueless
A.I.
I disagree with most of your opinion
This is the most bullshit I've ever heard of all the bullshit Ivr ever heard in my life !!
I don't know where this guy is getting his information from, because it's all bull crap. The only thing on this entire list that I agree with is the engine in the international scout is trash because it's international. And I also agree about the Colorado but they still have the same problems even with the newer ones they are trash. Don't take my word for it I don't care, I've been around cars and trucks my whole life and I'm a heavy machinery mechanic.
No ,Dodge rampage was definitely junk
Never seen pinto pickup truck in USA. Were was the vega gas tank
I’ve Never heard of the Pinto Pickup.
The Chevy Colorado is nothing more than a Chevy S-10..
Nice try AI 😂
I've owned 2 7.3 bought them both in 2001. I sold them both after 325k miles. One of them is still running 550k I replaced the transmission in both of them once. Also had a plug blow out of the injector filter housing once. Best trucks ever.
I have a Ford F 150,2003 4.6 eng, and I still have it, I had very good luck with it, low in tork is not great but after 30mph it's great 👍
I owned a RAMCHARGER. It was a great ride, got over 300,000 miles in it.
Well done good info👍😎
I had a 1988 Ford bronco two and I drove for two years. That thing was the best running vehicle I ever had. I loved it so I disagree with your assessment.
THIS DUDE DONT KNOW HIS TRUCKS
Are you kidding me ask anyone 7.3 powerstroke is one of the Most reliable Diesel engines ever made in a pick up.
I got about half way through this. Near as I can tell, ALL pickups are the worst pickups in automotive history. Including the SUVs that are not pickups. 🙄
Idk how you can possibly be this wrong on nearly every single entry
I had a 1990 bronco 2 it was a good vihical with 2 9 v six loved it
My mom had a ford broncoII back in the late 90s and it was great for us. We absolutely loved it. It was the first 4x4 in the family. It was really great in the snow and for off road
You've put alot of work into this video. Good job on that. I'm a truck guy, mostly fords. But chevy and dodge too. I really don't remember any issues that you stated in this video except the pinto bursting into flames ( which you mention twice)
Should have included the 23/24 Toyota Tundra. What a POS. I have never owned a new vehicle that I hated so much or had so many problems with.
W.hy is that so many of these are SUVs and not pickups? The GMC spirit and Chevy El Camino were very dependable as long as you used them for light work like they were designed and were definitely not lacking features unless having nice stereo AC power steering brakes windows door locks and cruise control and delay wipers as well as V8 engines. Mine had 300,000 miles before I got rid of it. Just sayin
I like how the explanation of the reasons for failure are all identical. Great job researching.. Lol😊
I find his explanation 😮😮 interesting, since most of the trucks described were best sellers.
Damn!Somebody is high or something!El Camino/Caballero?S10/S15?Really?IH Scout?Whatever.Why don't you tell what you think a GOOD vehicle is,I'm sure that'll be hilarious.
Waste of time. After 1:30 I ended listening.
Who does your editing? You repeat yourself two and three times per vehicle. I also question some of your statements. I could list them but don't want to waste any more time.
Those ram chargers are one of best especially compared to anything built today.
i cant even finish watching the video. saying the same thing in 4 different way about the same vehicle.
Most of these trucks are small imports with American name plates on them. They were reliable just too small for some American. They rusted out too quickly, but they ran well.
30:49 am I the only one who COULDN'T make sense what was said?😂
I liked my name 1982 dodge truck
Made it 1/4 through the video, but my willpower isn't what it once was. Besides being repetitive and stupid, it was inaccurate and repetitive. And he was repetitive.
My dad had dodge d 50 it was ok small truck i do not like your opinion
I'd stay away from all trucks in 2024
I disagree with you on the GMC S15. I own an’84 Sierra with a 2.8l V6 and a 4speed manual transmission. Except for the carburetor, I’ve had no issues or problems with the truck. It is STILL driven almost every day and I’ve had no major issues or problems whatsoever.
20 worst trucks, I am on number 20 and it’s an SUV. It also was comparable to the Blazer and Bronco of the time and they offered nothing safety wise that the RC didn’t have. And it was cancelled in 93…….. in the IS because 2 doors were not popular anymore, see the cancellation of both the full-size Bronco and 2 door GM twins just a few years later. 94 was also a whole new generation of Ram. If you bothered to do research you would know there was indeed a 2nd gen Ramcharger sold in Mexico based on the new Ram. In fact I have been trying to think of a new project and you ignorance has convinced me to locate an imported 2nd gen Ramcharger.
WTF? Back then all vehicles were boxy styled and had plain interiors, this AI dude needs to make a 20 best pickups to show us what it's talking about.
I couldn't make it past the ram charger. Not only is it not a truck, but it most certainly wasn't the last one they ever made. They stopped making trucks in 2019 and even then, it was only because Ram spun off into it's own brand and took the Dakota with it.
where are you getting your info? most of the small trucks back then were gutless junk except Toyota! so incorrect on so many levels
My Nissan D10 was awesome. That thing lasted forever except the bed which must have been made by a different manufacturer.
Okay Chrysler Corporation bring back the Dodge Ramcharger and the SUV
You got the Dodge Durango next you should have the Ramcharger okay in the SUV or SUV crossover
Okay Chrysler Corporation they should bring back the Jeep Comanche in the Jeep lineup including the single cab the extended dual cab the crew cab the make it more safety cautious like it like its predecessors
I still want all of these!
I have to strongly disagree with your assessment of the Chevy Avalanche. I have a 2002 Avalanche which I bought in 2004 that had 16 thousand miles on it. I’m still driving it with 271 thousand miles on her. The best dependable and useful vehicle I’ve ever had. Just wear + tear maintenance throughout all the 20 years that I’ve owned it.! People dream about having such a tough dependable truck. I’ve hauled many a load with her with no problems whatsoever. I enjoyed the video but was surprised that the Avalanche was included!
Almost 85% of these vehicle are amazing
request on worst vans
The Nissan hardbody is a legendary truck. *compact trucks weren't known or bought for towing and "true truck" applications.
This video should be called:; 20 trucks and SUV’s that the narrator hates.
I think this guy isn't actually from here! The bronco isn't a pickup. Its fords answer to the Jeep CJ and the IH Scout.
Who buys a 4 x 4 SUV and expects to tow or haul cargo with it?
Clickbait nonsense
I drive a 1988 Chevy S10 every day. My Dad bought it brand new when i was 3 years old. I got rid of my modern truck and just had Dads old S10 repainted and the engine rebuilt. Looks like a new one again and runs like a new one. 4 cylinder and 5 speed. Not much power but it goes every day anywhere i wanna go. I wouldnt trade it for a brand new 2024 truck.
This has got to be one of the most misinformed videos I've seen lately about vehicles. I've owned multiple vehicles on this list that were durable, reliable, and, dare I say it fun to drive while being good value for the price. I don't know what rock the person who put this together has been living under, but it's extremely obvious they haven't got a clue.
What a bunch of BS. I’ve owned a couple of the vehicles on this list and they were probably the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. It’s funny that this idiot puts the 1999 7.3 on the list of the worst pickups when it was one of the best pickups ever made. I had a 1999 7.3 that thing had over 500,000 miles when I made the mistake of selling it. No mention of the 6.4 fords or any of the bad trucks that have been made over the year. Most of these vehicles on this list belong in the “Best SUVs and Pickups ever made”
The Rampage and the SSR are the only two of these 20 that have any business on this list. And how can the Lincoln Blackwood *not* be listed? I mean, I kinda dig the thing, but I'm weird. It's pretty useless as a pickup truck, and was ridiculously overpriced.
I don't agree with you on the Dodge Ram Charger. You don't know what's the difference between a pickup and a full size SUV. A SUV was never a pickup truck.
I found this videos content both repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, and inconsistent, Love, Luve, Love, Luve, Love, Luve... Suggestion, Creator should proof all videos (or pay someone to do so) prior to posting...
Thy need to take this guy off of you tube
Are you sure it's a guy? There were so many mistakes that I'm guessing it's AI.
if it has a full frame under it it's considered a truck unibody they are suv,s
all the trucks that everyone wants now
Looking at the thumbnail that couldn’t even be grammatically correct, I don’t know why I clicked on this video. Seeing the first vehicle, the RAMCHARGER, which is not a pickup in any sense of the definition, solidified that this video was produced by an uninformed opinion. Then hearing that the Chevy Colorado may not be the worst pickup being uttered several times in the review of #19 reinforced that this video should be voluntarily removed.
So the Bronco II is not a pick up truck
They had catnip truck friend drank lot beer in it
Love where the GMC S-15 shows a k5 blazer. And anyone who says a d21 (a Japanese truck and not American) is a bad pickup truck has a poor idea of what that truck was made for. Saying a d21 is unreliable is laughable. Also calling the s10 bad. This is an all time bad list. Basically just saying any American
Mini truck is a bad vehicle
The Dodge D-50 was made by Mitsubishi.
There was some damn good pickups on this list. I've seen S15 and S 10 trucks with over 300k on them. I'm calling BS. Boxy styling blah blah nope.
Your using the same dialogue over and over again, with the only difference being the name of the truck. Very lazy writing.
This was made just to make content , the narrarator does'nt know💩💩🤙👍🏼🏴☠️😮😊
What plant is this guy from F-250 the international scout absolutely beast if you want a car ride BUY A CAR not hard to figure out and NO NO NO you can’t pull your loaded 5th wheel with your new rampage
