Consumer Reports’ Jake Fisher wants you to step back and not always rely on the general brand rankings. “While brand rankings can guide you to the showroom, it is critical to also look at reliability for specific models before making a purchase decision,” says Fisher. “Even within high-ranking companies, there can be significant variation in reliability.”

An example is the below-average reliability ratings of the Tacoma, Tundra, and bZ4X, which negatively impacted Toyota’s ranking compared to the rest of its lineup. The same applies to the Subaru Solterra EV, which shared the same below-average score as its Toyota bZ4X twin.
