The 5.3 and 6.2 V8 engines at any time can bend a push rod thanks to a compatibility issue with the lifter seat/push rod base. With the DFM active it is just a matter of time. Just keep that engine under warranty at all times.

I bought the wife a Subaru Forester based on CR recommendation and always putting it at the top of the small SUV list. Maintained it religiously at the dealer. Was great for the 1st 100k mile and then absolutely went to ****. The dashboard stopped displaying. The engine light came on and $2500 later after valved being redone. Front axel snapped in half. Couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Bought an Equinux and (knock on wood) it's be absolutely perfect. I'll never buy a Subaru again and I canceled CR subscription.

Buy a pristine body GMT800, spend the money on the engine and transmission, only if needed, bring the rest of the systems up to *s*n*u*f*f and never look back. Less electronics to go wrong but still plenty of creature comforts, best seats IMO and gobs of parts available. Would still be lots of money ahead, even if the engine and transmission needed replaced. If you have a mechanical mind and tools, even better.

They are not made the way they were in the 90s. They've become throwaway cars. Ask me how I know, I have 2 long term Subaru projects that just made it over 100,000 miles.

At least with domestic vehicles, the parts are cheap enough that I can just "Add to Cart" to include engines and transmissions.

My 2021 has been very reliable with 34k miles so far. My only complaints have been with a couple of software updates. As for the full-size GM SUVs in general, I see many more GMT800s still on the road than any other brand/year SUV, and they're 20 years old now. Mine has 220k miles with no issues at all. The dealer that I bought my Escalade from couldn't believe it had that many miles on it, still looks and functions great inside and out.

I quit paying any attention to CR 40 years ago when they gave the Corvette a poor rating for body rust-through. Too stupid to know that they're made of fiberglass and too biased to give legitimate analysis.

Midwest Vettes of that era could have badly rusted frames. My friends Saturn Vue looked great on the outside but the front subframe literally rusted off the body. Salt is pure evil in this neck of the woods.....

When you think about older chevys being more visible on the road, consider the limitations on availability of the 21plus years due to Covid induced issues. If more premiers were available and fewer constraints on other packages. I think there would be way more of them on the road.

Yes, but their report was claiming that fenders rusted through.

But the point that I was trying to make is that I see more GMT800s than Expeditions or Sequoias regardless of the year. What I was attempting to say is how reliable the GM SUVs are by pointing out how many are still in service.

The way I went thru my 2005 Z71 and addressed so many systems and using great quality parts, I feel my rig will be on the road, long after I am not. My friend that owns the shop we did so much of the work at, in my build thread, keeps reminding me that he gets first shot at buying it if I ever decide to do that.

They outsold those especially the toyota. So of course you see fewer. The 4.7 toyota is way more reliable same with the transmission. But you do have a timing belt to deal with.

The amount of people that clutch the older trucks like their made of gold is comedic. I was a tech during the OBS and up to GM bankruptcy phase and sorry to say those 'simple' vehicles you guys are so proud of were constantly in for warranty work. Everything broke on them. Perhaps that illusion of reliability comes from them being rebuilt during the warranty phase. There's a reason GM went bankrupt and it wasn't because of a world class product lol

Funny to see tbh.

The new Sequoias have been out what - 6-9 months? Still haven't seen one on the road

I've seen a few. They are not popular.

Sort of like the new Blazer. Took a long road trip a couple months ago, saw a bunch of Teslas (they stand out some), not one Blazer and I was looking.
