These 5 SUVs Have the MOST Reliable Engines! 

Not clearly stated, but the Lexus 3.5 V6 is the same as the Toyota engine. Why don't other manufacturers follow Toyota's M.O. If it works, don't change it. I almost said " if it ain't broke", but for some brands, they can't help it.

A very good friend of mine in Edmonton bought a Ridgeline a few years ago with the 3.5 and it has been bullet proof so far. His girlfriend loved it so much she bought one too!

How about the 5.7 L V8 on the sequoia! Great engine great transmission. Very reliable and smooth!

Common trend is adding the turbo engines for increased fuel mileage to satisfy CAFE requirements, although decreasing reliability and increasing maintenance costs in the future for the owners!

"A nice roof rack to haul all your projects to the dumpster" You know me too well my friend!

Thank you for the free knowledge Sir!!

One day, I'll buy a Toyota SUV. TOYOTA ALL THE WAY!!!

Thanks ecpp for the content. Still waiting for your top five or ten luxury SUV's for 2024 video!!!!

The older Toyota V8s & V6s will last forever. The jury is out if these modern turbo 4S with annoying stop/start can last.

You seem impressed with bells and whistles, in particular headlights, trim and badges

Good video.. say what year are the best., thanks.

My boss at work has a 2019 Expedition that he got new with the V6 EcoBoost and he can easily tow a 6,000-lb camper...he has 165,000 miles and not one problem yet...15 mpg city and 27 mpg highway that is insane for such a huge heavy vehicle...He said he got it to have the towing and the keypad entry to lock the keys and phones in when swimming in the lake...he said he will drive it till the wheels fall off...They have 5 kids, so they needed the huge amount of space...

I think it is about time another car company was mentioned in terms of reliability. In 2015 my cousin bought a Mazda CX5. Other than routine maintenance, replacing a battery and tires, he has had no issues whatever with it. I am purchasing one now, for much less than the comparable Honda or Toyota. Regarding the Ford SUV, I was taught that If you can say something good, don’t say anything at all. So regarding the Ford , I will just say………………..

Excellent 👍 thanks 🙏

I love my 2016 Lexus 350 it only has 55k miles on it so I’m hoping it goes on forever as I keep up with its services

Wife’s boss had a 2022 expedition limited in which the dealership called her to tell her it was on recall but also park it outside the garage as it may catch on fire. She told them come pick it up and they told her no.

What are the year or years are you talking about on these vehicles? Thank you

Truth, excellent, thank you 😊

I'm quite disappointed that Honda didn't change to a timing chain when they redesigned the 3.5L to be DOHC with better emissions. I agree that it will run forever if you do timing chain maintenance, but changing the belt is *expensive* and something not needed (as often) with the Toyota 3.5L.

Lexus and Toyota's 2GR family of 3.5L V6 engines are prone to oil leaks that aren't fatal but can be a headache for this otherwise great engine.

3.5 2gr timing cover leaks Plastic thermostat Surprised you didn’t mention The 4.0L 1gr found in the 4 runner

Owned a 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer edition. Loved it. Was going to get another Expedition but walked away when they dropped the V8. I walked away from Toyota also when they dropped the 5.7. Insane repair cost outside of warranty.

What! No range rover/Jaguar ? 🤣 Another great videos Mark 🤌

I just bought the hybrid highlander compared it to the v6. Now I'm wondering if I should have got the v6? I was to the hybrid would last longer at both dealership

This would've been a great video to divide into segments.

1. Honda Passport 3.5 V6 2. Lexus RX 350 3.5 V6 3. Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 4. Ford Expedition 3.5 V6 Eco Boost 5. Lexus GX 460 4.6 V8

Great list except for the Ford 3.5L ECOCRAP turbo. I have the last generation Lexus RX350 with the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 and will keep it until the end of time. It's a somewhat boring, luxurious ride that had been absolutely reliable. Easily gets 28-29 MPG on the highway with regular 87 octane fuel. The Toyota Highlander shares the exact same engine, trans & platform. Both are equally reliable.

Mark, I love the way you say plastic. LOL.... But seriously, I hate all the plastic on cars today.

So, the latest model of the third-generation, 2017 Ford Expedition MAX (extended-length) 4WD eight-passenger large SUV would be in most individual's lists, because it has the 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 engine, but it still has the six-speed automatic transmission. The current-generation has the ten-speed automatic transmission. These Expedition's are excellent for road trips. Thank you very much.

Hallelujah. Thank you for this vid

Can't go wrong with a Toyota or a Honda

Not sure whats the significant difference between the RX-350 and Highlander V6, both belonging to the same family, other than the Atkinson cycle. Might as well include the 1GR-FE from the 4Runner and the earlier Tacoma. How about missing the 1FZ-FE from the Land Cruiser, the K24 from the CRV, the 3RZ from the Tacoma, the 2TR from the Tacoma.

The water pump on those v6's are inside the timing cover,when they go you pay$ 3200 if not more and could possibly cause engine damage.

2016 Pilot - Engine was great. Transmission went caput at 101K. Unfortunately that year was common for the AWD. Out of warranty - $8k. I’ll be a Toyota person from now on.

We 3 cx 5.. the most reliable so far. My family have own rav4, rouge, crv, Forester. 350, 000 on 2015 cx 5. 260,000 km on my wife 2014. 73,000 so far on my 2019 turbo. The rav4 had more recalls than I can remember. The Nissan rouge was good, 180,000 before traded. CVT was starting to go. My sister's crv is good. AC problems. The Forester too many problems. Fuel line leaking, head gasket, wheel bearing, Subaru install new clutch that was slipping up hills. The icing on the cake. The cx 5 is like driving a Miata. However, Mazda needs to make better seats. No thigh support.this is the reason my wife traded hers for a Ford escape. The escape has 140,000 . It does drive well . Not as sporty as the cx5 but close. Hers has the 2 litre turbo. Also, underrated is the Mitsubishi outlander. Three neighbors have them with close 300,000 km. Toyota and Honda have gone crazy with their prices in Canada. My 2 cents worth, look at other manufacturers... Their products are cheaper and better. Mazda is one example but I am sure there are others. Toyota CEO comes out in public saying that consumers will have to pay over 50 grand for rav 4. They have also added dealers fees 1800 to 2 grand. I wish consumers will do more research. Someone at work wanted a used Rav4. He paid 36 grand for a 2021 with 63,000 km. I told him to buy a new cx 5 for that amount. He was so brainwashed that I could not convince him. After, 1 month he had to change all brakes. Also, complained about how loud it was. Well, did not want to say I told you so. There are 4 friends who bought 2 cx 5, 1 cx 30 and a cx5. All very happy, 2 were previously rav4 owners. When, they tried to get rav4, they were told they have to wait 6 months and the price was over 50 grand. That was the regular rav4. 😢

I wish Ford would make the excursion again, the ones with 7.3 diesels and 6.8 V10s were absolute tanks

| would like to ask you a question, my brother, which one? Better driving and aggression BMW G20 or Lexus is 2021 please? Which is better, reliability? | know that the LexUs is better, but does the BMW really have poor reliability? For example, the oil cooler, loss of coolant, oil leakage, explosion of the coolant bottle. and what do you say in your opinion? Is it really a car that is not approved? I am talking about the 330/340/540. Is it really not certified because I usually tend toward a comfortable drive and a pleasant drive that I want in a car, but I was very afraid of the German, and I live in a country where fuel is considered relatively weak. What do you think?

2.4 Liters on Honda Accord and CRV by 2017 is bulletproof engine.

I like to know what you think about the Acura RDX models? What engine and what yr model?

Ford Expedition has a 250,000 mile durability rating from the factory. The only trucks I know have this are Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX models.

Hi, can you do the most reliable used cars, suv/crossovers -20 years old. The used car market is so expensive, for new car buyers we have to go older.

We have a 300 series Toyota Land Cruiser that is built like a tank, solid and trouble free.

Thank you

Did I miss the part where you talk about the 200 series Land Cruiser? Isn’t that the best engine ever put in a car or SUV? There are some other fantastic choices you listed but a Land Cruiser 200 series is the Lionel Messi of SUVs.

I like the highlander.

What do you think about Ford Explorers? I drove my first one for over 200,000 miles before I crashed it. I then bought a second one. This one is also going strong. I only got front wheel drive and a V6 engines in both. NoTurbos. Thoughts?

How long can the Nissan Murano's 3.5 V6 last? Currently have 62K and runs perfect. I change my oil every 3-4K miles. I'm hoping 300,000 isn't out of the question. Also changing transmission fluid every 35-40K miles.

How would you compare a Honda Passport and a Toyota RAV4? Which one is better?

what are the most reliable cars for under15K? Pls do a video...

Can you do full review on New Civic Type R

I’d be interested to know everyone’s opinion on the Honda 1.5 turbo in the 2023 CRV??

Sounds like the Honda and Acura are going to have a recall on their 3.5.

99 Ford Expedition is a 300k motor. Or first gen Lincoln Navigator if you can afford the gas.

I'm rather disappointed Mark didn't talk about the ML320, 430, 500 or 55 W163 Motors.

I've been driving Yukon's and Suburbans for the last 30 years with either 350 or the 5.3 V8s. These vehicles will drive hundreds of thousands of miles and are bulletproof with a minimum of repairs.

The '15 thru '18 Expedition is on Consumer Reports "Worst Used Car" list for reliability! Source: CR, April '22.

So bottom line. You'll need to pay a hell of a lot more for reliability.

Great list! Ford caught me off guard...

I had a guy drove by in front of my house, he is driving honda ridgeline truck. I said "that a really nice looking truck ". I asked "are you going to sell it?" He replied "i just spent 5k to fix timing belt, i am not going to sell it". I said "ok i changed my mind". 😂😂😂

Dude! How about the CRV with the 2.4 VTECH? MILLION MILES AND MANY with ORIGINAL ENGINE & TRAINY!

I see ford expeditions with twin turbo V6 is excellent engine. Finally ford has resolved the engine problems. They’re not overheating. They’re less expensive. And it’s easy easy easy to work on. And also buying this. Not the garbage crap 5.4L triton V8 three valves. And it can last over 500k km without any of troubles 😄😄😄😄

Honda? didn't they just recall 250,000 cars for bad engine bearings?? hahahahha

Hey Mark…. Could you please give us an insight HONEST OPINION on an 2021 AUDI Q5 SPORTBACK PREMIUM PLUS 45 Quattro please.

If u stay change the oil regularly

What years does the honda passport have a timing chain instead of a timing belt? This is a big issue, as honda engines are interference engines, if the timing belts breaks, the engine is toast. Timing chains can last for hundreds of thousands of miles. The honda crv got a timing chain from 2002 onwards, before that they had a timing belt.

That Honda engine has a TIMING BELT, which will NOT last forever. $1,200 USD to replace every 100k.

Timing belt in the Honda 3.5 is expensive to replace.

Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro 5.7 liter and Aisin 6 speed automatic transmission power train is the best

I am surprised that Mercedes Benz SUVs were not mentioned.

You left out Nissan Pathfinder engine that has been around for ever and has had no problems. I own a 2022 with no problems.

Good Jpb. I really prefer BMW X5 Diesel and the MB GLS350 Diesel - lots of pain at the same time lots of love.

the older 460 lexus looks the best ,

You have been a BMW guy, and you likes BMWs soooo much, I thought you are going to put BMW B58 engine into the list, so why not suggest B58 in X5 40i ?

Rolls Royce not on list ? I guess there goes my $850,0000 , I should have bought a Kia 😢

3.5 is a powerful engine

We will be getting a Passport Later this Year.

Where's Mazda?

New S58 BMW engine can do 1000hp run for years new king!

ford ecoboost is very reliable from my experience

2008 jeep patriot..now let me speak..lol...340,000 km and only things i replaced on the "motor" is the alternator pully and throttle body ,and all the sensors and PCV valve... runs great but i dont run the hell out of anything i own... change the oil every 3 months now the rest of the car...well thats a way different story ..$3000 later and i got a great car and spare car..where are you going to get a car for $3000 let alone $5000

Sadly, who can afford any of these. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I only buy vehicles with a timing chain.

A car is "bulletproof" and involves more with the driver, not the car engine or manufacturer.

Ford explorer is another suv that gets over priced suv for what you get

Five very reliable SUVs

I'm surprised that Ford's Echo Boost made the list. 🤔

Lexus doesn’t disappoint.

I can't believe Honda still uses a timing belt/interference engine.

Those foreign brands are nice but l,m a die hard domestic lover. Buick, Chevy, and Dodge top my list. The only foreign make l'd consider would be Volkswagen. 😂

He should put the years. Not all of them was good

Hrv little small

You left out the transmission. They cost more to fix than the engine.

I se alit chevys riad alit equinox

Life's too short to be broke all the time!

Can you be more specific in the years of the ecoboosts that are good because I'm at the auction 4 days a week and there are bad 3.5 ecoboosts in fords all over the place every week for many years...And they are EXPENSIVE to replace...The price on a used ecoboost is astronomical.

Honda passport on multiple list is over priced for what you get

The 203 hp 2.5 liter four cylinder and the 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engines found in Toyota and Lexus. Sadly, Toyota is replacing the latter with 4 cyl turbos next year. The rest on the list are crap, which will of course, cause the Ford, Chevy fan bois to scream about their trouble free 1M mile cars and make the claim of Toyota recalls when Ford leads in recalls followed by GM

The Ford Expedition with the 4.6 Triton lives at 2000rpm forever.

High gloss plastic. What is that??? LOL

You should had the SUV car wash before your presentation.
