After owning one 1996 Ford Explorer I went back to Toyota, Lexus and Honda ONLY.
The paint on that Explorer all started splitting at 38K miles. Actually it was the primer underneath. Which means they had to take it down to bare metal to fix the problem.
The dealership I bought it from did it for cost. Which the owner of the dealership who called me personally did for me.
After
Ford corporation told me the warranty was up and to pound sand. I decided after that conversation I would NEVER buy another Ford product.
My son had a Subaru that got to 100K and turned into a money pit.
At least Subaru has initial good quality.
I have owned three Tacoma trucks. My wife has had two Hondas since the Explorer. The Civic we had prior to the Explorer we sold for less than $1000 from what we paid for it.
After that my wife is on her second Honda.
I just bought a 2011 Lexus convertible so I could put less miles on the Tacoma.
I am considering buying another 2015 Tacoma double cab V6 long bed if I can find one with low miles
IMHO this is the best Tacoma that Toyota ever made.
I am not a fan of the 4 cylinder turbo engines.
The two Toyota’s I’ve owned are the best overall vehicles I’ve ever had.
One being a 2009 2.0 V-6 Tacoma.
Toyota and Honda are regularly at the top of dependable vehicles year in and year out.
