Cars you're most likely to keep for 15 years

Toyota pick up beds used to be famous for rusting out. That may have had something to do with Toyota's insistence that their newer vehicles be much more rust resistant.

No they didn't.

Their frames on the other hand.

But they made good on that.





Something ford/gm/dodge would tell you to pound sand over.

This is happening with Pierce fire truck frames:

Pierce Manufacturing hit with class action lawsuit « chicagoareafire.com

Charleston along with cities like Champaign are taking part in a class action lawsuit against Pierce Manufacturing Inc. and Global Fire Equipment Inc. claiming that they violated the terms of the warranty on the fire trucks they have made for the cities.

Charleston purchased two fire engines and ladder truck in the early 2000s over a five-year period from the company with a lifetime warranty on the frame of all three trucks for rust and corrosion damage, and currently, all three have varying degrees of rust on the frame.

Despite this, Charleston Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Tim Meister and the city claim that the company has not repaired or replaced the frames even though it is spelled out in the warranty to do so, as they claim.

“There are multiple cities that have purchased these, same manufacturer, same years we have, and they are having the same issues,” Meister said.

So, the cities of Charleston, Champaign, Decatur, Normal, Bloomington, Peoria and Ottawa are taking action, according to city records. The law firm of Ancel Glink will represent the group of municipalities in the claims suit.

Back in the '80s Toyotas looked like this.

 

[Yaj Yak]

looks just like any 5-7 year old domestic truck from the midwest.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

toyota tundras and tacomas like this

Exactly what comes to mind. When you’re replacing entire frames under warranty because of rust, I think you change your practices up.

:hay: dodge ram

Here is my 96 Blazer when I sold it in 2016...no rust after 20 years in the Midwest! Was a great daily driver!

I’ve owned my 03 Cobra for over 16 years now. I’m the original owner

The value keeps going up too

Only 9k miles.

Fiance's '05 Accord has some cancer, and I've seen a couple similar vintage year Accords with the same issue. Also, Mazda completely bucks the trend of Japanese cars being generally rust free. I see rusted to shit Mazda's from 2000's all the time.

That being said, Taco's/Tundra's have had their rust issues too. But seems confined to frames, and the beds/bodies seem to fair much better.

 

[Kensington]

Live look in on an 80's Fox body

 

[Yaj Yak]

let's not forget sweet nissan altimas from the late 2000's/early 2010s rotting their floors out before 4 years were up.

 

[Kensington]

I do not like Nissan "quality"

Which is a shame, because a 6-speed G35/7 sedan would be cool as hell

 

[Yaj Yak]

luckily for you you can pick those up for about 4300 dollars and a case of miller.
