Latest JD powers Reliability Survey Results
A few things that grab me: Silverado took a hit. Mercedes S-Class didn't make the list- neither did BMW, Audi, Acura, Porsche
.... yada yada. Ranger thumped the Tacoma for the 4th year in a row. 
. The Camry and the Accord didn't make the list- aced out by two Buicks and a Mercury?

Yes, it's a three year survey.

Apparently, those Jag engines no sprechen Deutsch.

Think about it.....Ford has a bit of a market niche here. As long as this demographic continues to blow their hard earned cash on a wannabe status symbol with the quality of an Isuzu Trooper, I'm sure the execs are sayin', "Bring it on".

I will admit to being a bit of a Land Rover fan (ok, thats an understantement 
) But, remember this is 3years old - when BMW engines were used in the Range Rover, it was still the old (electrical nightmare) Discovery - and worst of all, I think they still sold the Freelander in the US back then.
Not the best carpark of vehicles to choose from.
I would be willing to (very bravely) state that the current lineup of Land Rovers (Freelander excluded in the markets that it is sold in) are far and away the best group of SUV's put out by one marque.
A LX470 might still have them beat on quality though....
Also Volvo's excuses are that it was about the time the new S60 came out (I think
)
