re: OT mechanics: Vehicle reliability - Mileage vs Age

Then why do you see more older Chevys on the road than Toyotas?

Because way more Chevys are sold than Toyotas, and Chevys will last longer than ford's or dodges.

I drive a 20 year old yukon with less than 100k. It was parked for several years. With lower mileage vehicles, you've got to watch out for different problems. I had to replace everything in my fuel system from the tank to the nozzle. Still worth it because these trucks were bulletproof.

Now, if someone offered me a tundra from the same year with twice the mileage I'd trade my yukon for it straight up.
