Need Advice V6 Vs 4 Cylinder

Hello
I currently have a 2005 stick 4 cylinder. I am looking at several 2009, 2010 and 2011 manual shift and ran across a 2011 with 100k miles. How do the V6 hold up long term vs. a 4 cylinder?
Thanks! I am a new Member.

my two first gen V6's have 500K on one and 455K on the other and both still going

 

'hold up' is totally dependent on the care it was given.

100k is minimal, but if it's an unknown seller with little to no maintenance documentation, it's worth a pro pre purchase inspection, including a compression check.

You don't say where you live, but a frame check is in order too, especially if the truck has ever lived in snow

 

Thanks for the reply!

 

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Here in Boston. I will check the frame and compression.

 

i dont disagree with what clearwater bill said but as far as will the v6 hold up, i have not had a problem with them

 

The v6 has a great reputation for longevity and reliability. Mine has 106k on the clock so I can’t yet speak to personal experience with longevity since 300k+ is common. I can say that in that 106k I have only done oil changes and 1 coolant change. Nothing has ever broken. That said, I recently did my first brake job and need to replace my ujoints. I can call that extremely reliable.

 

Frame rust is a bigger issue.

 

Typically they hold up pretty well.
