I agree – I think the best way to explain some of C.R.’s rankings is to assert an agenda, but I’d like to believe that’s not true. Honestly, I think the problem is that C.R. has a lot of well-intentioned people who are overzealous. I think the best way to use C.R. is to compare their findings with Edmunds, KBB, JD Powers, and others. By that standard, most cars are pretty good quality…and that’s great news for consumers.

I buy what I think is comfortable and what I need along with good looks/color for the best price vehicle out there. As of now, it so happens to be the 2010 tundra whether anyone (and I could care less) disagrees or agrees. See, I really could care less what others think of me or what others think I need. So, bite me CR and ??

I don’t think I even want a CR rating if they’re this controversial. I happen to have the most unreliable 4X4 5.7L V8 Toyota has ever made yet haven’t had one true problem besides making sure to disengage my 4Hi in more appropriate places. 37K miles in under 2 yrs and still going…..whatever, CR!

CR especially hates the domestic automakers. They almost always praise Honda and Toyota, but always downtalk the big 3 even if I think some, not all, of their vehicles are reliable overall. CR also like you said Jeremy, dislike big V8’s and almost always favor the fuel efficient 4 cylinders or v6’s namely Honda and Toyota. They may be right somewhat, but are too drastic sometimes.

CR has their own political and environmental agenda and they aren’t afraid to lie cheat or fake to get it. CR hates trucks, vans, and SUV’s

CR had to settle with Suzuki and now has to print a disclaimer whenever they mention the Samurai SUV. CR is a joke when it comes to Auto’s. They got caught red handed trying to make a CR-V flip on a road course by jerking the wheel back and forth so the chasis would get upset and the truck would roll. AMAZINGLY they gave the CR-V a clean bill of health once the film surfaced. I think they spent too much time testing ovens and baked their brains. Idiots.

To start off with the Ridgeline isn’t a truck the same goes for the Avalanche. Youy remember the Avalanche was the best truck and the worst gas mileage all in one. Not to mention the water leaks created by opening the back end up to have room to make it like a truck. Watchout Hexmate won’t like this. Oohh well.

I’ll say it for you – Honda ridgeline with a v6 that is mediocre at best with very little payload and bed size to seriously haul anything over 3/4K lbs. I’m sure they ride nicer, but is not a truck suspension, more car like.
