Whichever one is the most taken care of as either of those brands can have vehicles last 500,000 miles or blow apart at 50,000.

it probably depends on what motor as well. are you talking used or new? I would go either tundra or F150 with the 5.0. either way, a N/A V8 is going to last longer than a turbo 6.

New. I’d like to know which model, speaking as generally as possible, tends to be more known for lasting a long time. But if engine type or other configurations make a world of difference for a given model, I’m definitely interested to know what the best specific configuration is too.

Maybe it’s the case that “generally” brand X tends to be known for being dependable, but brand Y with the Z-package is the best option.

In terms of long lasting, and reliability, I have to say my 2002 Dakota R/T.
I bought it new in 2002, and it still runs perfectly.
The only things I changed in all those years is the water pump and battery.
Tires of course, but not due to wear, but age.
Has been an exceptional truck since day one.

I would go with either model I mentioned. GM and RAM make garbage. I would get a tundra or the F150 with the 5.0L. I would also stick to more base models, as there is much less that could go wrong. the tundra is a dinosaur as far as trucks go, but they've used the same engine and transmission forever, so it will last forever. they've perfected it. horrific gas mileage though.

Our F-150 is a 1999 bought 1998, body and paint still perfect, and as far as cost upkeep, it has been 3 batteries, one spark plug change at 100,000 miles. It gets regular service.

Depends on the year and engine.
