There is always the Hummer by GMC! My little PeeWee!

Same company also does all the other auto companies and here is how Ford F-150 fairs. Over the last 37 years, 136 Recalls, 70 investigations, 1,504 TSBs. This equals to 3.67 recalls, 1.89 investigations and 40.65 TSBs per year. http://www.fordproblems.com/models/f-150/recalls/ Chevrolet Silverado from 1999 to current or last 21 years. 12 recalls, 3 investigations, 2,635 TSBs. Equals to .57 Recalls, 0.14 investigations, 125.47 TSBs per year. http://www.chevroletproblems.com/models/silverado-1500/ GMC Sierra 1500 from 1999 to current or last 21 years. 24 recalls, 5 investigations and 2,539 TSBs. Equals to 1.14 recalls, 0.24 investigations and 120.90 TSBs per year. http://www.gmcproblems.com/models/sierra-1500/ I am sure if we add together the recalls, investigations and TSBs for the 150, 250 and 350, same with 1500, 2500 and 3500 the numbers would go up. Toyota does beat them in much less TSBs per year with only an average of 39.4 TSBs.

Love this write up on some 1990's metal that people should buy. One of my favorites is on the list. GMC Yukon GT 2-Door. AWESOME SUV! Disagree with the rest of the junk on the list, but the 2-Door GT Yukon / Tahoe were AWESOME! https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/classic-cars/g33415569/5-more-cars-of-the-1990s-you-should-be-buying-right-now/

This is an interesting site. Toyota Tundra has a total of 51 recalls from the last 20 years of it's production. Not too bad. There are 7 issues under investigation with 2004 model year having 5 issues under investigation for brakes, suspension issues, airbags and seatbelts. The final big thing is the TSBs, 788 in total with the 2014 Model year having the most at 282 TSBs. http://www.toyotaproblems.com/models/tundra/recalls/ Worst year is 2010, Major electrical problems, engine and transmission problems along with wheel and frame issue for not supporting stated loads. This I do find very interesting, all the open cases that Toyota has yet to resolve around the following issues: See through rusted out frame assemblies, melting dashboards, Engine Sludge, Soy wire coating that rodents love to chew, oil consumption lawsuit, and so much more. http://www.toyotaproblems.com/problems/ Tundra is Baby Boomer tech, but clearly has a sludge of problems which really makes one question the reliability of the product. In regards to the service men and woman who buy Asian or European name plated auto's. Yes you have given to your country, yes democracy allows you to pick your product you want to spend your own hard earned coin on. The question to be asked is how do you changed American companies to build better products if you will not support them and give them the feedback to improve their products? On top of this, if your going to go around and preach about supporting your own country, how does that work when your money goes out in profits to other country based companies supporting another country over your own? Just saying, do you support your own US based Companies that pay taxes into the US Government and supports these companies or do you let it go over seas and support a foreign country? Food for thought!

Rivian has their pilot production line complete and have now been able to give a finalized delivery date schedule for when the truck and SUV will start being delivered to customers. https://electrek.co/2020/07/24/rivian-delays-electric-pickup-summer-2021/ Now Rivian has issued an update to reservation holders with a clear timeline: R1T deliveries will begin June 2021 R1S deliveries will begin August 2021 Rivian has decided to roll out their own adventure charging network in support of Rivian go anywhere auto's. As such they have hired numerous Tesla employees who had helped Tesla roll out their charging network. For the “adventure” aspect of the network, Rivian will first target off-roading pit stops, national parks, and RV parks. One does have to wonder if this is why Tesla has decided to sue Rivian as they lose employees with knowledge to other EV auto companies as investments pour into EV auto makers. https://electrek.co/2020/06/01/rivian-adventure-network-electric-pickup-tesla-staff-charging-network/ FIXED, Had to clean up the Sluts!

Love it, finally a review for me. Best SUV/CUV's for 2020 for Tall people! https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/best-luxury-cars-for-tall-people

Will be interesting to see if they just skip a model year number and go to calling it a 2022.

First Bullitt I have seen.

Yup, plenty of the Turda out here. Plenty of the old Toy Pickups with frame issues too. This is a pic from Pittsburg where they salt so heavily to insure making you have to buy a new auto every 4 to 5 years I guess. New England talking about how fast the frames rust out due to the salt exposure. 2004 Toyota Tacoma has the frame rust out in 2016. 12 years. I have never seen this on a Ford or GM truck before. But I do get that everything rusts out.

When your dated like a baby boomer, in a baby boomer's eyes it might seem more reliable, but clearly it is stuck in the past. I have seen just as many on tow trucks as I have seen fords or GM. Would be interesting to see the average age of buyers for these trucks.

This is a good review of the roomiest CUVs out there. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/roomiest-suvs-for-the-money

Agree, but I honestly do not believe the SkyActive Technology is truly class leading in regards to emissions and fuel economy. I think they figured people would buy the diesel giving up fuel economy for a smidgen cleaner emission, but neither really delivered to market. Mazda had so many recalls in Europe, reviews there pretty much blast it, so I was honestly surprised when it came to the US. To me the engine is a failure.

Based on reading this, I believe the Mazda Diesel will never happen in the use now that the CX5 Diesel had one year of sales and was killed. While as the story says they have it as a future model on the web site, I doubt the Diesel 6 will ever come to America. Diesel is dead as a need for cars, trucks or CUV/SUV auto sales out side of traditional full size truck sales for trailer pulling. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-mazda-6-diesel-details-update/

Considering your profile does not say where you live, one cannot understand where your coming from. Clearly here on the west coast, the desire for EVs far out weights ICE and lots of people are waiting for selection of Choice. Newly built homes, condo's and even apartments all have charging built in. The West Coast Super highway, Highway I5 has chargers everywhere as do the cities and now we have the power companies starting to install on the smaller state freeways and roads to ensure plenty of choice for charging. I would say it depends on where you live and the attitude of the multi-cultural society as people on the west coast have clearly embraced EVs. Yes I have only ICE as I await full size SUV/Trucks that are EV to purchase.

I know that in my household, there will not ever be another new ICE auto. Wife and I will stay with our 1994 GMC SLE Suburban in conversion to Electric. 2006 Escalade ESV ICE and 2008 Trailblazer SS. Daughter is holding onto her 1999 Dodge Durango and my son did buy out his lease on his 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Everyone is waiting for EVs to come out to replace the ICE with. We are not the Jones Jones race people that is for sure. After all this 5 auto family has 27, 21, 14, 12 and of course 4 year old auto's with the son having the youngest auto.

So small, hard for anyone over the average 5'8" tall to get into. Subaru is built for tiny people. Good cars, but built for tiny people.

Loving the new 2020 Ram Heavy Duty Black edition truck. Black Chrome really sets this right! This looks so far classier than the current butt ugly Chevrolet trucks.

This is one truck that will continue to sell to the Toyota Faithful. Otherwise it is a totally forgettable truck.
