If that were their motivation why would they have just given the SUVs that outsell all of the other competition combined a low rating?Anyone who thinks CR is an unbiased, neutral entity that tests stuff out of the goodness of their hearts is mistaken. They are in it for the money. They had $260M+ in revenue last year, $230M of it in subscriptions. They make that kind of money by convincing people that they have their best interests in mind. I personally believe they see what the masses like and report tests supporting the trends so people will buy their “reports” so they can feel good about what they bought.
I've only bought GM products my whole life - and will continue to only buy from Ford or GM. That said, its pretty clear the first year of this generation trucks, like the first year or two of the last generation trucks has had significant issues. That is on the manufacture, not any magazine. There have been plenty of GM products that have earned praised from CR.
