Consumer
Reports (CR) has published the results of its Annual Car Satisfaction
Owner Survey and the Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tundra have both been
rated with scores that make them the 'Most Satisfying' pickups, according
to CR's criteria.
CR determined
the results from a questionnaire sent to
subscribers asking if they would buy the car or truck they currently
own again, considering its price, performance, comfort, reliability,
and enjoyment. The Most
Satisfying vehicles are those where at least 80-percent of owners
said they would definitely buy or lease the vehicle again.
The V6 powered
Honda Ridgeline crossover was the highest ranked truck in the survey,
followed by the eight cylinder version of the Toyota Tundra.
The 'Least
Satisfying' trucks - all domestic brand compact and midsize haulers,
including the Chevrolet Colorado, Dodge Dakota, Ford Ranger, and GMC
Canyon. The Mazda B-Series, a twin of the Ranger, also placed in the
least satisfying group. They were determined to be those where less
than 50-percent of owners said they would buy or lease them again.
