I believe it. Mine has 60,000 miles on her and NOTHING has broken on her yet (knock on wood). Zero recalls.
Minor issues:
1. Sea water isn't making it easier to remove the skid plates for maintenance.
2. Windshield connects with every pebble pitched like Barry Bonds on Kool-Aid.
For the "midsize SUV" category the Toyota 4Runner should be on top of that list! But yet it is not mentioned anywhere. I see more 4Runners on the road (regardless of year model), than any other SUV!
Kudos to FCA, one of their brands (Chrysler) almost made it up to industry average for reliability, that's a big jump for them. Too bad all the other FCA brands (like Jeep) are still at the bottom.
Definitely agree with the FJ Cruiser being on top of the Compact SUV category.
However, with the 4Runner being left out of the midsize SUV catagory, and the Tacoma being left out of the midsize Pickup category, I think this study may be somewhat flawed.
After all, the latest list showing resale values have the Tacoma at #1 , and the 4Runner at #2 . Doubt they would be ranked in the two top spots if they were not reliable / dependable.
Nice to see some resale value is there but kind of a hollow victory against the equinox and terrain though.
Apples vs Bananas comparison. An FJ could be driven off a cliff and still be more reliable than a compact Chevy SUV.
Another oddity in this JD Power reliability grading is that they list the Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 as the top small luxury SUV. Mercedes no longer produces the GLK, so there's two vehicles on the list that are no longer in production, or at least not sold in the US.
Yeah I know...though FWIW the FJC doesn't have much more interior room than my old 08 RAV4 did...
