I talked to one of the partners in the last company I worked at. He's managed fleets of pickups for his engineers over the years. They drove about 1.5 - 2 million miles a year on a fleet of 30 trucks. Every few years they would trade-in the old trucks for newer ones and they switched occasionally between the big 3 manufacturers. I asked this partner which manufacturer had the best trucks based on his experience considering repair costs, etc. and he ranked them Ford first, then GM somewhat but not too far behind, then FCA way in last place.
This is rough. I own an FCA, but I’ve grown up around fords my entire life. So I’m more or less biased however my work has all Chevrolet and they’ve been basically bullet proof.

Toyota should probably be added to this list. I'm not sure where they fall overall, but they're pretty high-quality, in my estimation.
This was the big 3 american brands though so that wouldn't make sense

European cars aren’t reliable
The offerings from each is so diverse. Are talking about cars, trucks or SUVs? Each brand has strengths and weaknesses in each category.
For passenger cars I would go with Ford. Trucks a tie, Ford and Ram. SUVs Jeep.
