ALL Chevy's Sucks - They have been on the bottom of every review list since I have been alive. It's amazing how many "Suckers" Chevy has duped into a crappy vehicle with just a commercial.

Consumer Reports Predicted Reliability for '22 Maverick
Doesn't this include things like the infotainment system?

I disagree, but IMO this also shows that CR is not biased.
The other person was confused by looking at the high reliability rating posted for the 2500HD, thinking that they had just condemned it earlier, but that was the 1500. The two vehicles may both be Chevys, but they aren't made at the same plant (2500HD is a Flint plant, the 1500 made in Mexico) and don't share the same powertrain or most other major parts. They are both called Silverados, but aren't really anymore alike than a Ford Maverick and a Ford F150.
To me that shows that they are investigating specifics, and not just hating on a particular brand.
In any case, I find it interesting that the Mav forum is taking the 3/5 rating so hard, when its a huge sigh of relief when they rated the Escape that the Maverick is based on and shares a few parts with a 1/5 back in 2020 and a 3/5 is higher than 16 out of 29 trucks rated, putting it in the upper half with only two trucks remotely in its class doing better, the Ridgeline and Ranger.
Yes, although they weight the reliability based on whether something makes the vehicle undrivable more heavily. So while all dealership trips can be annoying, the infotainment system having to be flashed or replaced isn't the same as having the vehicle stop on the side of the road because an AWD system freaked out. In their detailed analysis they'll list which components and whether any reported failures are major or minor.
Do we have a link to the detailed ratings? I'd imagine the infotainment lowers the score. Also, do they differentiate between the 2.0 & 2.5?

They don't exist yet, not for what is merely a prediction. Detailed ratings are available in April of the year following its release if I recall correctly, so that would be April 2023 issue.
That's when they ask all their subscribers that have owned a Maverick for 12 months to answer their detailed questionnaire about what specific issues they had addressed under warranty.
For powertrain though, there is one for the Ford Escape that breaks down issues people had for the 2020 model year, but I don't have it anymore.

Lee Iacocca said it best, "Anybody that rates shower heads on one page and transmissions on the next can't be trusted." Only 8700 miles on my Hybrid XLT Mav, but not a single problem. Unreal value for the price! I LOVE my Maverick!!

It's good to know that some things at least don't change

He also said that he made the best built cars in America. I had one. He didn't.
I'd consider that a good score for an introductory model. The Santa Cruz may be taking a hit based upon being introductory itself, but also sharing a lot with the Tucson.

I have to wonder how much of a vehicle's reliability is due to the average demographic it attracts versus how reliable the components are.
For example, would a Nissan Altima have a better reputation for reliability if it were driven and cared for as well as your average Prius or Corvette owner?
We've owned vehicles known for reliability issues and figured we've just been very lucky, but maybe its because we don't rag them and do just about everything maintenance wise except brake fluid changes on an early schedule.

It's funny they call it the "Predicted Reliability" when it's really the "Historical Reliability". They send out surveys to all their customers asking them to report their vehicles' issues for the previous year.
So if 50% of '22 Maverick owners report they had Major Engine problems, and 2% report they had electrical issues in the last year, then CR combines those numbers with numbers previously totaled for the '22 Mavericks and gives you the "Predicted Reliability" going forward. In my example, the '22 Maverick would get the worst rating for Major Engine and the best rating for Electrical.
It's all based on using History to Predict the future.
