A comprehensive analysis, then. It is worth noting that CR also considers in-car electronics as part of its reliability tabulation: infotainment, phone pairing, and navigation systems. Sometimes, a vehicle can get dinged for having complicated systems which nevertheless work exactly as designed. CR says it applies a weighted average to the severity of each type of problem, with problems such as broken trim and in-car electronics having a much smaller weight, though exact details are scant.
The new Toyota Tundra apparently had below-average reliability in its first year, as did the equally new Hyundai Santa Cruz, plus the Jeep Gladiator and full-sized trucks from GM and Ford. In terms of those which did well under the eagle eyes of the CR eggheads, the Tacoma scored above-average, as did the new Ford Maverick and its hybrid brother.
In terms of reliability, CR identified potential issues with the climate system based on feedback from real-world owners, in addition to potential dodginess with the in-car electronics. As mentioned in our introduction, there’s a solid chance the latter is down to Luddite user error. No concerns were raised with major components like the engine, transmission, or suspension; since those are weighted heavily for reliability, the Mav scored very well overall.
Powertrain scores are very high, as they should be, since Ram is using engines and transmissions which have been in production for ages. Concerns focus on in-car electronics and paint/body integrity.
