To check on the reliability history of a particular year's model, start with the Used Car Verdict. This score shows whether the model had more or fewer problems overall than the average model of that year, calculated from the total number of problems reported by subscribers in all trouble spots. Because problems with the engine major, cooling system, transmission, and drive system can be serious and expensive to repair, our calculations give extra weight to problems in those areas.
So all the info is based on what a few paying subscribers have said about their truck???

That would be from paying subscribers who had problems. It would be nice to know just how many people actually took these questionaires.
