To be fair though, all three are the same vehicle. QX56=Armada=Titan with a covered cargo area. And we know the build quality on them is atrocious, so much so that they will likely be discontinued.

Nice to see Lexus in the ''Good List".. That was pretty much expected along with Toyota and Honda.. The Top 3 best auto manufactures in America.. Did we expect anything less... LOL

woot! One of our cars is on the list. We have a 2002 Toyota Highlander 3.0 V6. It already has 100k miles on it. No problems what so ever. We keep all our cars till the 200k+ miles mark. You definitely save a TON of money keeping a vehicle for this long.
