I like how they just skip random years here and there, as if you will be gold if you can only get a 2021 Wrangler or a 2017 Cherokee.

I’m surprised the ‘16 F-150 is not on the list. There was (still is?) a design defect in the 5.0 V-8 intake manifold. After a while, the check engine light would come on, leading to having to replace the manifold. It was inconvenient when under warranty, and damned expensive once your warranty ended. I traded mine before the warranty expired.

Any Nissan/Infiniti with a CVT should be on the list and bolded.


Amen, brother!

I have a Rogue Select that is on its 3rd CVT transmission. Thankfully, I only had to pay for one fix ($5000).

Management there is too dumb to just realize most customers would pay for reliability over tv ads and a quarterly appointment at the service department.

Of course those same managers decided long ago they wanted to monetize the service departments as a primary revenue center so they are more than fine with things breaking and with people viewing cars as disposable at 100k miles.

Meanwhile Lexus and Toyota products last longer than most people even care to own them.

Looks don’t get you down the road from point “A” to point “B”.

The toyota production method of Kaizen is much less profitable than the standard means of manufacturing. They constantly improve models through their entire life cycle rather than simply making the changes at a refresh or new model.

It makes for very robust vehicles... With lower profit margins.

No Nissan with a non cvt transmission made the list... Something I've been screaming for years. Nissan makes an amazing product.... And the shittiest cvt on the market

Ram 3500 had serious issues in work trucks with the HO Cummins, for model year 22. Youtube channel of a guy that has a hotshot business and virtually all of his crapped out in pretty short order.

I had a 2018 VW Atlas for 6 years. Never had a minute of trouble with it. It was a great car.
