Toyota 4Runner

While the 4Runner doesn't have the most modern exterior, it can't be beat for reliability, especially for a full-size SUV. Consumer Reports has given this vehicle its highest reliability ratings for 13 consecutive years, far more than any other car on the list. Not only will you be able to haul all the passengers and gear you need, but you'll also get a host of safety features that ensure your precious cargo gets to and from your destination unharmed.

Honda CR-V

This top-performing compact SUV crossover is one of the most popular cars on the market, and the main reason for its popularity is its reliability. A study found that more than 25% of Honda CR-V owners keep their vehicles for 10 years or longer, which is a rarity in vehicle ownership these days. Even after a decade of daily driving, the Honda CR-V will still be going strong, with plenty of life left in the engine and body.

Chevrolet Malibu

In the midsize sedan class, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more reliable car than the Chevrolet Malibu. Its fuel efficiency belies its size, which is a nice feature in a family vehicle, especially if you're looking to take a road trip or two. This car will be on the cheaper side of the vehicles on this list, making it a bargain for reliability hunters.
