Re: CR Rates New Tundra V8 4x4 Reliability Well Below Average
Regardless if this is true. Then it is a blow to Toyota, but I also take it with a grain of salt. I knew that I was taking a risk buying a first year vehicle. No major problems but I am still under 2000 miles, and I also have a 2 wheel drive. Consumer Reports blasted the Nissan Frontier I bought too, and didn't have a problem in 6 years.
I still say the Toyota outlasts the other competition. Mechanics always say its common to see them with 200K-300K miles on the odometer. I rarely see many US made vehicle go to far past the 200K mark without being a POS except the diesel work trucks and a few select others. Don't get me wrong there are some exceptions to that. Also the article linked earlier stated Toyota slipped behind Honda, Acura, Scion, and Subaru to fifth in overall reliability. Notice there wasn't Ford, GM, Chevy, or Dodge above Toyota in the overall reliability category.
