I probably should have said in my first post that I have been doing research on places like Consumer Reports, Edmunds, Cars.com, Car and Drive and so on. And that what I am looking for was personal opinion which isn't something that those sites can readily give. |
If you want personal, specific reports from owners, check out this site:

People list their car and then get a reminder every 3 months to update their mileage and any repairs they may have. Every 3 months I report in on my 2000 Pathfinder. All of the data comes directly from people who own the cars. It is a good place for the personal accounts you seem to be looking for.
Last comment is if you don't want a pickup truck, maybe consider a Subaru Forrester or Outback? They have been around forever and everyone loves them...they are like Hondas...owners buy them over and over again. I think it is helpful for there to be at least one 4 wheel drive vehicle in the family (crossover, SUV, or pickup), if you live where there is snowrough terrain.
Good luck. I love car shopping (I never buy, but I love to look)!
