    '89 honda CRX. The 1.6L motor in that thing was indestructible. I drove it for 9 years and put close to 200k miles on it. Almost every shift was done at 5500 RPM (redline was 6500) or higher. I beat the crap out of that car and it just ran. I wish i still had it.

    I don't remember the years but it's a toss up between the old F-150 with the inline 6 cylinder or the F-250 with the 351 Windsor. The inline 6 cylinder had something line 400,000 miles on it without a rebuild, it was on it's 3rd complete transmission and 6th or 7th clutch. It was a drilling support rig it's whole life so it did not have it easy but it'd fire up every morning and it was amazing what it could haul. The F-250 was just a tank. It burned almost a quart of oil for every tank of fuel but it was a hoss.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    My 78 Ford Bronco, the 73-79 Ford F-series trucks and Broncos were some of the toughest fullsize 4x4s of the era. Only thing tougher was any IHC Scout or truck

    It's a toss up between my '85 ex-cab Yota and my '87 Bronco.

    I beat the ever living hell out of that Yota- stuff that made guys with 1-tons nervous. I think it spent more time in the air than it did on the ground, too.

    And the Bronco had pretty consistent 10k-14k oil changes in between being hammered on by a fearless 19/20 yr old redneck kid. I traded that at 150k miles and it still ran like a Swiss watch. Looked like a pile of hammered dog poop but it ran good.

    Probably this F250 we had at work. We dogged the ever-living shit out of this thing, and it never had problems. It spent more time off road than on pavement, routinely hauled a full 1600 gallon water tank and pulled a trailer. Every square foot of it was dented, and each dent had a story. I accidentally backed over a boulder with it and added to the dent collection.

    One of our guys screwed up the linkage by ripping it into drive without pressing the brake pedal, so when the selector appeared to be on "D" it was in neutral. This saved it from being stolen one time when some thieves couldn't get it in gear.

    Ran liked a raped ape until the day they made us sell it.

    My 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L, my first vehicle I got when I was 16. That thing was unstoppable I swear it had close to 240k on it when I sold it.

    My first Taco (98 4x4 with a 3rz), I put 180k rough miles on it and it ran great the day I traded it in.
