5th-gen 4Runner reliability - let's get better stats

I too, do not mind the emails that truedelta sends out every month. I appreciate the information that is provided. Keep up the good work Michael!
 
I have not signed up yet with my 4Runner but with my Ridgeline I did and was a member of their forum for 5 years. True delta came on and asked us about participating (several years ago)and several did so. I never got "spammed" nor did anyone else for that matter that I know of and when I unsubscribed that was it...no issue.
 
We've updated the our reliability stats for the 4Runner (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011: 19, very small sample size

2010: 20

Both are better than average.

Thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We've updated the our reliability stats for the 4Runner to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011: 22, small sample size

2010: 7

Both are better than average, as are nearly all earlier model years.

We'll have further updates in February and May. We'd love to provide more precise stats and fully cover all model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved.

Love this website... Never had an issue (spam or otherwise.) In fact the data provided was one of the many reason I purchased a 4Runner.
 
Glad to hear the site was helpful!

I have been dealing with TruDelta for about 5 years and have not had a problem, in fact I feel that my 2 cents worth is making a difference.

We'll have further updates in August and in November.

"Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year"

Can you explain this stat to me more clearly? Do you mean out of 100 4Runners 20 require repairs? Sorry if I'm not quite getting it.

Sorry, just saw this.

It means that a group of 100 vehicles required 20 repairs. Not quite what you said because some had two or more repairs.

I originally wanted to do repairs per vehicle, which would have been 0.2 (in this case). But feedback was that many people have trouble understanding decimals.

That seems like a big jump. I wonder if it's because 2010 year T4R's are now five years old and probably never had a repair done in the first 4 years (other than regular maintenance) or if this indicates some sort of issue that only pops up after 5 years. It is still rated as moderate, but one of the main selling points of a T4R is reliability, so moderate isn't good enough.

So, how have these SUVs been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the 4Runner now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

2014 4Runner: 19, low
2013 4Runner: 0, low, small sample size
2012 4Runner: 9, low, very small sample size
2011 4Runner: 23, low
2010 4Runner: 29, low

Plus, the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2010 4Runner: 80, < 1

No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Same for those with small sample size notes. Next updates in August and November.
