    Hard to go wrong with Toyota but let’s not pretend they didn’t have to face one of the most expensive (per vehicle) recall ever on multiple models with the full frame replacement on their trucks…

    Honda is another brand that’s extremely reliable in general.

      If you’re not in the States, Hyundai and Kia are in the top 5 for reliability, and are much more affordable than Toyota and Honda

      Best avoided if you live in that one country who’s manufacturing laws are designed to benefit shareholders rather than consumers though lol

        As an American, no one I talk to in person believes me when I say that Kia and Hyundei are well regarded, if not very economic, automakers in the rest of the world.

        The only “real” Kia/Hyundei the US ever got was the KIA Borrego, which I’ve seen in person handle light trails as well as a 4Runner or Pathfinder
