I like Tim, I grew up in Michigan, he's got that dry delivery..just the facts lol. Like a warm blanket

I bought a 2021 ridgeline and have no issues, they extended the warranty on start stop ignition for 10 years

Good save on the CR comment Tim. Glad the guy helped point it out.
I agree that this is going to be an exciting year for the midsized market. That 2.7 in the GM twins is a killer and I am optimistic that they "tuned" the transmission for better results.

Interesting to look at all midsize at once and see the trends across segments.
Most seem to revolve around electronic issues manifesting in mechanical symptoms (aka transmission or engine issues)

Stay away from Ford, gmc, Chevy. I would go with the Frontier 👍

I now have a gas powered 2017 F-250 and and thinking I may get the 2025 Honda Ridgeline.

Just like the Full truck rating survey. GM and Chevy in last place again. They must be hurting? Even though Ram was 1st place. I must say Toyota has a lot more consistency with higher ratings over the years. Why can’t the others keep the same consistency as Toyota? Nice video Tim as always. 👍

Cool video & thank you for the info

Honda V6 has cylinder deactivation on the back 3 cylinders. It makes the truck stumble when it turns those cylinders back on. It also causes the plugs to foul as miles pile up. They should have a switch to turn off this feature.

Thanks Tim, I really enjoy your videos about dependability and durability. For me this is the topic I am most interested in. On and off road capabilities and fancy electronics are great but pointless if broken. I also subscribe to and follow CR, any thoughts on going out and doing an external video of their testing? Could even reach out to other sources like JD Power as well as well.

We are not buying nothing this year. The recession in banks is real

[Velkanis]

the only way to know if GM's 8 speed revision fixed anything is to touch 75k to 150k or dismantling one, as it has been well documented that any kind of power will make that transmission grenade in spectacular ways and since the new 2.7' has a higher power celing... im eager to see if either GM will get bit in the ass for their awful product or they finally made it decent...

[ricardorodriguez]

What about the diesel canyon/colorado with the 6 speed auto? Is that in the data?

[dlg]

I owned a 2020 Tacoma TRD Offroad for about a year and I absolutely hated it. The worst driving truck I've ever owned, by far. I always take CR rankings with a MASSIVE grain of salt because their data pool is extremely limited, so I wouldn't take it to the bank.

[Pro-zyip]

Most reliable 2023 midsize How could they be rated when most of these trucks are not even on the road yet? What is CR talking about?

[thomaswipf]

What is the GM 8 speed trans brand? ZF 8hp trans is great

[bwaters]

Nothing Personal my friend, But when you Google what you're talking about There Are So Many reports saying something different, they All have their own opinions who's the best, worst and who last the longest 🤔

[fossil]

I've filled out those CR surveys. The questions are pretty much worthless. Not sure how they get quality data from those owner surveys.

[josephbreen]

They're still using the eight speed even though they say it's a second gin that has been too indifferently. From what I understand the transmission has to be totally redesigned to fix the issues

[dennisbethards]

Never trust consumer reports they are one sided
