It is a sacred universal law that the most reliable truck on earth is a used Toyota hilux with the machine gun bed mount package

I rented one of the new higher end ones recently and it was absolute garbage. Would not rent again.

Jeeps are weird in that they are great cars if you know how to do work yourself or have a cheap mechanic. If not then no fuck them.

Yeah, that's a huge deal breaker for me. Even if I wanted to spend Jeep prices, I want to get 15 years out of a car. My 2008 G6 made it to 16 years. And the parts were crazy cheap. It's the gold standard I measure my cars to now. My car is basically just for commuting to work. No frills necessary, just good gas mileage and cheap repairs.
