[QUOTE="D Knx, post: 743966, member: 63489"] I've been a CR subscriber for years and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in getting the most for your money. However, through the years, they have not been very high on domestically produced autos. When CR does their annual reports based on safety and road tests they do, American auto makers consistently come in behind Japanese and European manufacturers. When they conduct their annual surveys, which is what this is, domestics tend to do better in reliability. Had I gone with CR's recommendations I would not have bought an ST based on their testing, Ridgeline supposedly gave you better functionality and POSSIBLY better dependability, I guess because it's a Honda and the Chevy Avalanche gave you better passenger room, more performance and was equal in mpg's. So far the ST has held up well since it's introduction based on reader surveys. Other than CR's take on the ST, they still consider the 01-05 a crew cab Ranger, I'd recommend a subscription for the consumer looking to educate themselves on the latest products and best buys, just don't be surprised when you see Ford & GM ranked near the bottom in reliability and near the top in service issues in their annual reports.
