Truck Engines Worth Buying.

Even the engines people call “bulletproof” have one specific way of failing, and in some model years it’s far more likely. In this video we go through the truck engines actually worth buying, with the best model years to target, the one weak spot to check on each, and what that weak spot costs if you ignore it.

This is the buy-list companion to our “Truck Engines to Avoid in 2026” video.

You’ll learn:
✅ The Toyota 5.7L V8 years to target, and why Toyota’s replacement engine was recalled
✅ Why the Ram 6.7L Cummins is great in 2013–2018 but risky in 2019–2020 (a fuel pump issue that can cost $4,000–$10,000+)
✅ The GM 6.0L V8 in HD trucks, which has no cylinder deactivation
✅ The Ford 5.0L Coyote: why 2015–2017 beats 2018–2020
✅ The two engines that come with a real warning: the Ram 5.7 Hemi and GM 5.3
✅ The 5-step check to run before you buy any used truck
