American car brands ranked among the most expensive to maintain. Ram’s average 10-year maintenance cost across its models is $16,802, according to research from CarEdge. There’s a large gap between Ram and Jeep (both owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), but Jeep is the second most expensive to maintain at $11,476.
Following closely behind Ram are Chrysler and Dodge (two other Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brands), Ford, Chevrolet, Fiat (yet another FCA brand) and Buick — all American.
Subaru and Hyundai (Japanese and Korean, respectively) round out the top 10.
