Should note this seems to be for an F-150 (truck) and the data tied to it. In my experience, F-150s are very reliable although extrapolating that out to all "cars" may be a bit of a stretch and renders this graph really only useful for that model.
- jschwartzi 9y agoYou can probably extrapolate this to any work truck made between 1995 and 1997. You'd be lucky to find a tape deck, power windows, or A/C in any truck from that period. They're also very simple to work on. My old C1500 from that period had an engine bay that I could lay down in. This sort of implies that they wouldn't generate a lot of repairs. Crate transmissions for m that truck ran about $2000 for a remanufactured one. For my current truck it's more like $4000.
- ssharp 9y agoI have a 98 C2500 and it has all three. I recently replaced the tape deck and AC. AC compressor replacement took less than an hour to replace on that truck vs. my 2010 sedan that took several hours for the same job.
- jjguy 9y agoYou're giving "the data" too much credit. There are only a few variables: - new cost - depreciation per year - increasing maintenance costs per year The "F-150" assumption was used to estimate new cost and depreciation over time. You should not discount the data based on a single model, but it is wise to recognize those three variables can diverge significantly between models - enough to change the outcome.
