I feel my JK Wrangler is respectable when it comes to safety, and the JL even more so now that I read about the issues going on with other makes ... which have always been going on... and on....

They wouldn’t dare talk down Toyota, to many incentives offered. Hyundia realised this a few years back and got on the same bandwagon as Toyota which is why they get such raving reviews (but talk to cops about their Hyundai’s and their plastic steering components that snap off, along with their horrendous brakes in emergency situations). My new Hilux (2017) was the greatest heap I’ve had the displeasure of owning which is why I only had it for a few months, but interestingly it’s been all quiet out there about them, so good hearing there’s a class action with the DPF - it’s a shocker and if it was happening on a Jeep or Landrover, it would be on a Current Affair and 60 minutes!
