This was a Ford Flex limited, for $41K. We loved the hell of that car, but its fatal flaw is that the water pump is internal, so you don't know that it's failing until the coolant is thoroughly mixed in with the oil and your engine seizes. This was about two years ago, at 130K miles. I recently got another one, and am gonna have the water pump changed soon.

Water pumps only go bad when you don’t change the coolant promptly. Change it every 3ish years and the pump will last a decade plus. Don’t change it and your pumps is history at year 5 or 6.

Yeah, that’s horse shit. Toyota says oil changes every 5k miles but the real number is 3-4k. Manufacturers are lying scumbags.

Interesting. I never changed the coolant myself, but we always took it in at the scheduled maintenance dates, so I assume they would have done this once or twice. At any rate, this one did last 13 years.

2011 here as well. Barely 100k miles. Have stopped doing anything more than brakes, tires, and oil changes 5 years ago.

I bought a Highlander in the middle of Covid. It’s still good but I think I will replace to with a Tesla Y L soonish. In March when bonuses land.

i'd consider a series hybrid like the new Rogue, but hate the idea of parallel hybrids - these companies can't make a basic car reliably anymore, have zero trust they can properly engineer a much more complicated drivetrain
