Anyone have any experience with them? Wife was looking at some of the bigger SUV models and they look very nice. I just don't have a lot of knowledge of them and don't really know anyone who owns one personally.

My last auto shopping brand list was Toyota, Honda and VW.
VW was axed early, gas fill on the wrong side.

I've always heard their quality control sucked in the early 2000s for 7 or 8 years. Supposedly cleaned it up 8 or 9 years ago.

I could give you my real world opinion but Mister will just show up with some consumer best article LOL. If you intend to own it past warranty move on to something else. Like BMW, Audi, etc they are expensive to repair and they WILL need repairs. Had to put a turbo on a 2021 just last week. Out of warranty and was $4k bill. |

What manufacturers are making good reliable larger SUV’s in your opinion? |

4Runner is definitely tops on our list. Sounds like we should stick with that goal.
I wonder how much KIA and Hyundai have improved on the SUV's?

Yeah I was thinking about considering their diesel models. Their EV models aren't overly expensive either. |

Spicer,
My kid was given a 2012 jetta w/23k miles on it back in 2019.
POS cost me well over $8000 in repairs over the 3 years he had it. Needed another 3k when I traded it in.
That is first hand experience in..."I WOULD NOT HAVE ONE IF YOU GAVE IT TO ME !!"

Nephew had a Hyundai Santa Fe, blown engine at 66,000 miles. I’ve heard the Kias and Hyundai are disposable cars. Those 4Runners are bad ass but they sure ain’t cheap. Figured with your Taco the only thing you would be looking at is a Yota. |
