Not a big fan of Consumer Report when it comes to the X. I reseached their auto books before I purchased my '03 X. CR didn't like the X due in part to the fact that it was a body on frame and "only available in part time 4WD." I believe they also called it "based on the dated Frontier design." Reliability was called average. Well after 36k the only thing I have replaced from the dealership is the oil filter. If that is average, I wish that my Ford Truck would be average also.
