No. Respectfully no common sense thinking logical adult thinks this. This goes without saying, everything needs proper maintenance. And even those of us who have / had unicorns (I've been lucky with getting two) still have routine maintenance...

Kinda proves my point, in a way. It's not about the badge on the hood, as much as the factory and supply chain that builds it. I wouldn't claim that a Toyota built in the scabby South is any better than a Chevy from Mexico, but there's no way...

With all due respect, I may have to challenge you about "...any vehicle can be as reliable as a Toyota..." if they follow at least these three considerations: Within the science of metallurgy, not all manufacturers use the best materials...

Haha. Yeah. My wife has a 2015 BMW X5 that we've had since 2016. It has 77k on it now. It was well maintained and low miles when we bought it. I've done all of the scheduled maintenance at BMW. Despite this, it has needed well over 10k worth of...

Radiators don't count since they are universally poor these days because of the plastic. Gonna have to disagree there. There are certain makes that no matter what you do they'll still be money pits. Plus the quality of manufacturing also...

Ive got an early production 2010. The worst one according to the interwebs. Bought it with 135k. Driven it another 45ish now. No complaints. No major repairs. They’re all phenomenal if maintained.

Going to beat this dead horse a bit more... As with all vehicles it's mostly about finding a good example and keeping up with required maintenance. GX's are solid in ways that matter.

No worst year(s) exist. It's all about maintenance and condition.

It feels and acts like the Smart Stop as described. I can two foot when moving, to control a slide, but not from a stopped condition. I will need to experiment more. We really disliked the Hill Descent Control, the ABS banging away when all I...

My brain is exploding right now lol.

4.56 would be better if you are fairly light and do a lot of highway driving. Heavy with a lot of wind resistance then 4.88 would be better. Most 35 are about 34.5" tall. OEM tire are 30.5" tall. Stock gearing is 3.91 34.5/30.5X3.91=4.45 to...
