muledeerarea33? Report post Posted August 5, 2016 OP, what the purpose of it? Just her, kids, off road, multi purpose, soccer team (or football in frieking America!!) Subaru feels funny to drive and be seen in but they hold their own in reliability. Toyota might as well be American made except the tip of the profits go overseas. GM cars are doing really good to. As far as repair bills and maintenance goes if stay away from European unless you've got cash, overall prices are higher for parts and labor. Asian is said to be more reliable but the fact is they break as much as the next but cheaper to fix due to the amount sold. All the Americans are doing well for cars and small suv's with GM doing the best as far as repairs and cost if repairs. Pickups are a different story. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allforelk Report post Posted August 5, 2016 The old Toyota with the sr5 was almost bulletproof. If anyone here is familiar with the Lakes area of Tempe, we used to jump a couple off the fields at Rover into the retention basin. We had some issues, but nothing catastrophic or involving linked bracelets. Kids from a couple classes below ruined for everyone by attempting the same stunt with kids in the bed. Didn't end well.

I don't care for the Toyota pickups. You're totally right about the GM cars and SUV's though, they're great I own a Toyota Tacoma and a gmc sierra, owned a z71 before and a few c and k 10's my next truck will be a dodge 3/4 ton gas. I love gmc!! But the dodge is calling me! If I was in the market for a diesel I'd pry go ford. If I win the powerball I'll have a GM body, dodge frame and rear end and power stroke attached to an Allison. But that won't happen haha! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjl2010 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 Bummer of a deal you can't get em anymore. I think it's hard anymore to shy away from a diesel, car or truck. Having your cruise control stay put going downhill is worth owning a diesel to me haha. Too many dps officers at the bottom of the hill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
