My 2003 dodge ram is still kicken after 260,000 miles. If it dies on me I'm gonna crashout. New cars are impossible to maintain I stg
I'm thinking of getting a new 4×4 instead of another round of mods. Pretty much only one option these days, the Toyota LandCruiser 7-series. New engine/powertrain, but otherwise as simple as ever. Just a car that won't let you down if shit fails in the middle of no where...well, apart from the shit that failed, but that's usually repairable in a couple hours with basic tools and a spare parts or workaround.
The only other way to get that is buying an old car and keeping the money in it to keep it running well and modernised (speakers, nav, lights, etc.)
As you Americans call it, a "truck" should only be about chassis, powertrain, suspension, repairability, and practicality. If you want more than that, you can, but the base shouldn't have shit all through it already, stuff that has little to do with the whole concept of why you'd have a truck.
Serious question because I'm also banking on my 08 corolla lasting forever - how do you know the new land cruiser is simple and reliable?
It's been designed that way intentionally. Their legacy is endurance and hardiness, so there's very little difference between 2025 and 2005. Other Toyota 4×4s are like that, but contain more complex tech, so not as desirable. They have left this one alone on purpose. It is so much so, most parts are still the same as previous series so it's easy to buy an abundance of spares to bolt in and out should anything fail.
I think power windows can still be opted out of to minimise potential electronics failures from water and mud crossings. Things like that has money put toward higher quality materials, welds, reinforced engine components, etc. They're legacy is that making it to a million KMs isn't unusual, so long as they are taken care of.
Toyota has always had the durability and longevity reputation as their main thing, so long as not abused.
