> Pickup trucks come in last, with an average reliability rating of 41

That surprises me because I've browsed a lot of use vehicles and it seems to me like pickups can go to way higher miles than cars. I see a lot of them still run fine with 150,000+ miles

Maybe the owners are more willing to pay for major repairs though since getting a new one is so expensive?

This CR report is about the reliability of new cars over the first year of ownership. The correlation to how many issues there will be 10, 15, 20 years down the line is rather tenuous.
