I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with right at 100K miles, and other than brakes, I have never had to do any repairs to it. I change the oil every 3000-4000 miles.

People dog Dodge, saying it falls apart at 75K miles, transmission will not last. This thing is great.

Anyone else have a 100K mile vehicle with zero maintenance done to it?

I'm at 50K with my Toyota Tacoma. 0 maintenance besides your normal oil changes, tire rotations, and alignment.

Those are not repairs, that's upkeep (you can say the same for my brakes).

Toyota FJ Cruiser at 105k. Need to replace the oxygen sensor, but it's running strong.

Really want to get an Audi, but can't justify it while it's still running strong.

102k on my 2009 Ford Escape. Only issue on it is the solenoid which opens the rear hatch died. Twas a small and easy thing to fix. I've been pleasantly surprised with it overall. Needs a tuneup, gas mileage has gone down about 2 miles per gallon from when we bought it.

Because I posted this the transmission will fall out tomorrow. Just you watch

Mine has 216k on it. Replaced the radiator and transfer case.

Eta: 03 chevrolet 2500hd

100k trouble free isn't that big of an accomplishment anymore. It should be expected.

Just sold an 06 dodge charger. Lasted 130k miles. Only problem I ever had was the battery went out and had to replace it last year.

Isnt that the truth. As a whole, vehicles today are made MUCH better than they were years ago.

08 Sierra 1500 about to flip 97,000 trouble free miles. (Knock on wood)

Yep.

I love it when people complain about new vehicles and get on a "they don't build em like they used to" spill.

You damned right they don't. They're exponentially better. They have much more power, get better fuel mileage, last longer, are easier to work on, and will save your life in a crash. I'm gonna chalk that one up in the better column.
