The V6, 4-wheel-drive Toyota Tacoma pickup truck has a 2010 Auto Reliability GPA of 3.81 over a 10-year data history and has helped place Toyota Motor Corporation second among all automobile manufacturers in the Early 2010 Auto Reliability Grade Point Averages and first among all automobile manufacturers in the Updated 2010 Auto Reliability Grade Point Averages. See the table below.

This page provides detailed 2010 auto reliability ratings and auto reliability rankings in a reorderable table listing most of the coupes, convertibles, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, sport-utility vehicles, and pickup trucks sold in the U.S. It expresses the auto reliability ratings and auto reliability rankings, and makes available auto reliability comparisons and auto reliability contrasts, using the Auto Reliability Grade Point Average, or Auto Reliability GPA. This auto reliability index is used as it is an easy-to-understand auto reliability measure, and is well known to nearly all persons having attended high school. The page also employs Auto Reliability Grades as a reliability index, as this measure of auto reliability differences is well known to all persons having attended elementary school. The Auto Reliability GPA is an automobile reliability statistic that is obtained from Consumer Reports' auto reliability survey data summarized in the reliability tables of Consumer Reports: New Car Buying Guide: 2010 and the April 2010 issue of the Consumer Reports magazine. Column reordering on this page is Ajax enabled to make for a convenient and easy-to-use reordering option.

The Reliable Two, Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company, appear first in the table, because of their rather singular stature; the remaining manufacturers are listed alphabetically.

Letter grades are determined thusly: A if the GPA is 3.50 to 4.00, B if the GPA is 2.50 to 3.49, C if the GPA is 1.50 to 2.49, D if the GPA is 0.50 to 1.49, and F if the GPA < 0.50.

GPAs for 4 age ranges are given so that the visitor may examine more thoroughly the age range that is of greater interest to him/her, if such there be.

To arrange any column in ascending order (smallest value on top), click the header of the column. Arranging a reliability GPA or Grade column in ascending order will place the lowest reliability scores and least reliable autos at the top (after those with empty cells) and the highest reliability scores and most reliable autos at the bottom of the table. To rearrange any column in descending order (largest value on top), click the header one more time. Arranging a reliability GPA or Grade column in descending order will place the highest reliability scores and most reliable autos at the top.
