In general, give the why. In SE MI we have trucks. The manufacture is usual regional where the plants and businesses are. Next is SUVs. Especially when the winter weather gets bad. But during the holidays, you get all the dumb F's on the road x-mas shopping. And people really need to check out their 4 wheel drive before having to rely on it this winter when they might need it. Find some loose gravel road and parking lot and drive and turn on it without binding or noise.

I own a 91-92 Jeep XJ both have the 4.0. Both are almost at 200k miles. They still run great. I own a 09 Jeep Wrangler 3.8. It has 207k miles, runs great and it’s a manual. It has a few electrical issues. I also have a 08 Ford Escape 2.3. Runs great with 178k miles. Sadly the rear sub frame is in bad shape. So I’m using it as a winter beater then come spring I’m either junking it or parting the interior out. Along with the engine and trans. Junk the body. The only unreliable transportation thing I have owned is my 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 900. Cylinder head cracked with 600 miles. Coolant was leaking out. It was fixed but who ever reassembled engine fucked up. Now oil is leaking out between the block and cylinder head gasket. Not happy.

@cluelessbeekeeping1322 I had one for a very short stint a long time ago. I bought it new and didn't have any issues with it while I had it. They are really nice, but I've read and heard enough testimony from other owners to realize they are not very reliable and they are expensive to fix. They use lots of cheap plastic parts that tend to dry rot, crack, and break, especially in the states with the hotter climates. With my budget and my personality, it's just not the type of car that suits me. I need a vehicle that's reliable, economical, and practical.

TDI engines have the same issues as GDI engines with the carbon cleaning. For VW diesel get the earlier ones instead of >2012 etc. I would say no to both and yes to Corolla Wagon hybrid or Prius hybrid. Honda hybrids etc. Rav4 Prime. 40mpg+ vehicles.

A MK5 or MK6 with the 2.5 engine and 5 speed manual is the best combo to have for reliability. The 09G auto is okay, but they were known to have valve body wear issues on the MK5s, MK6 had that issue resolved (didn't help that VW claimed that the ATF was "lifetime" in the MK5 era, contributing to premature valve body failures).

what's wrong with the equinox? i have a 2018 with very low miles. 7600 actual miles as a matter of fact. it has the v6, not 4 turbo. be honest, how bad is this car. EDIT: i can handle bad news on it.

3.6L with a long history of major problems, particularly timing chains. Paired to unreliable 8 and 9 speed transmissions. Be sure to change your oil at 5k, use good oil, and drain and fill your transmission every 20-30k miles max. I'd do it sooner personally.

@@brassmule thanks. not kidding about the miles on it. i had to look at the miles on it. 7,636. not trip meter, actual miles. i've had 3 oil changes in less than 8,000 miles. retired and just drive to the grocery store and doc's appointments. i use full synthetic of course, and changed at the dealer. helps with warranty i guess. i'll probly be gone by the time it hits 16,000 miles. that's another 6 years from now.

@@garycarpenter2932 Gotcha. I doubt the stealerships will do a transmission drain and fill, but any mobile mechanic can do that. It's not rocket surgery, just use the right fluid which will depend in your transmission type - Valvoline Maxlife or Valvoline Dexron IV/Mercon LV, it'll be one or the other. Those engines are bonkers though. Oil pan gasket reseal is an engine out job, it's nuts. I worked on a 2017 Kia Sportage recently - 9,100 miles, barely driven; already had failed purge valve and a stuck door lock actuator on the rear passenger door (common apparently). Low miles doesn't guarantee no issues, I suppose.

@@FordBossMe honest question. should i just take it to the dealer and trade it in for an older truck with the same price? my 01 Silverado , is reaching it's end. i've taken care of it. but 25 years of hard work on the thing is taking it's toll. i've looked into the equinox value with the low milage, around 18k. with the transferable warranty. 2.5 years left on that. it's already paid off. but don;t don't want to screw anyone else over for my mistake of buying it in the first place.

A used car salesman I know would disagree on Ford Edge. He said to me “Just because it requires an engine-out timing-cover-off replacement of water pumps that are prone to failure doesn’t mean it’s inferior to a late 90s Lexus. Poor build quality and poor reliability isn’t a bad thing. It is still a good car.”

The older Hyundai are pretty okay, if you get a non-turbo, non-GDI V6 from Hyundai.
