Now we are a year in, and I tried to work out where we are at. To be honest I am impressed. We live in an era where Toyotas and GMC vehicles are designed to make it off the lot. At this point its the 2nd most reliable new vehicle I have owned since 2005. Problems have been a check engine light that needed a flash, a broken key fob and bad mirror switch. One recall only, door locks...this is where it things get crazy, they came to town to do the recall for everyone and discovered the mirror switch issue. Not able to get a replacement over night they took one off one on the show room floor and over night shipped it. Excuse me? Good luck asking any other manufacturer to do that....and we did not ask. So 1 recall so far, probably 5 on my 2005 Nissan Titan and 6 on my 2018 Ram at this point, maybe 3 on the 2005 Xterra( exploding diffs and transmissions were not recalled lol) Design flaws? Not a lot that are mission critical aside from the terrible front drive shaft that vibrates and screams for a better fix then a Terra Flex high angle CV. I chalk this all up to a focus on quality and DURABILITY vs planned obsolescence. Yes, Ineos has no experience, but if you focus on quality it turns out you have less to worry about. As I prepare a 2026 Power Wagon order and reflect on the new 100K warranty, the fact it has the same over built durability, a ZF transmission, same gearing, ect....I see a trend. Add to that the assurance most things will not be breaking off road...dang. Who would have thought?
Full disclosure I have 2 Fords for work with only 2 recalls each and not much else, other then a broken lock they made ME pay for. However, I dont drive those over boulders!
