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

[mkaresh]

Our reliability stats for the 4Runner now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2015 4Runner: 0, low, small sample size
2014 4Runner: 17, low
2013 4Runner: 0, low, small sample size
2012 4Runner: 9, low, very small sample size
2011 4Runner: 12, low, small sample size
2010 4Runner: 24, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2010 4Runner: 77, 4

If a sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.

We've updated our reliability stats for the 4Runner to include owner experiences through September 30, 2015. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2015 4Runner: 7, low
2014 4Runner: 8, low
2013 4Runner: 4, low
2012 4Runner: 18, low, small sample size
2011 4Runner: 20, low, small sample size
2010 4Runner: 29, low

We'll have further updates in February and in May. Additional participants are needed to provide precise stats for all model years.

We've updated our reliability stats for the 4Runner to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2015 4Runner: 9, low
2014 4Runner: 11, low
2013 4Runner: 4, low
2012 4Runner: 8, low, small sample size
2011 4Runner: 25, low, small sample size
2010 4Runner: 26, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 4Runner: 92, < 1
2010 4Runner: 73, < 1

We'll have further updates in May and in August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be. No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

We've updated our reliability stats for the 4Runner to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

2016 4Runner: 0, low, small sample size
2015 4Runner: 18, low
2014 4Runner: 7, low
2013 4Runner: 13, low
2012 4Runner: 25, low, small sample size
2011 4Runner: 26, low, small sample size
2010 4Runner: 22, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2015 4Runner: 83, < 1
2014 4Runner: 92, < 1
2010 4Runner: 81, < 1

We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

Hopefully a bunch of the new guys will start participating. It takes like 30 seconds every few months. This is the kind of data that is actually useful when shopping for a used vehicle, and one of the only sites we can compare true user generated data.

I've been with TrueDelta for years, since my new '08 Mitsu Outlander, maybe even before that. Michael is 100% and his info is bang on, but it depends on the number of members who own a particular make and model. The more the merrier, and the more accurate, so join in. It costs 0, and it is valuable no matter what make/model you own or are thinking of buying. Hello, Michael - Ted
