An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.
General NotesHow do we select "competing car models"? Users of TrueDelta's car price comparison tool most often compare these cars to the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.Models and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.
Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| 2007 | 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Truck to some degree is overengineered. Review of history of supplier and manufactuing misses to include: missed welds (safety campaign) on the tow hitch, air compressor have premature failure due to "bad batch", fuel injector /cam position sensor , etc. |
