Toyota’s vehicle quality declined while Ford – left behind by the Japanese automaker this year as second in U.S. sales – showed improvement, Consumer Reports said in its annual reliability survey.
Toyota’s redesigned V-6 Camry sedan, four-wheel-drive V-8 Tundra pickup truck and all-wheel-drive Lexus GS sedan were rated below average and were dropped from the “recommended” list, the Yonkers, N.Y.-based magazine said in a statement Tuesday. Toyota fell to third from first among automakers.
Ford was the best among U.S.-based companies, with 41 of 44 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles rated average or better.
Ford hasn’t upped U.S. market share since 1995; it had a record $12.6 billion loss last year.
