I've owned 5 vehicles in my time driving. 3 of them have made or exceeded 250k miles.


I’m 53 and have had a vehicle since I was 16. I’m currently on my 7th vehicle during that time span. Almost all of them were 200k+ when I got rid of them.

I DO NOT like spending money on cars.

I had almost 250K on my 03 Silverado before my son got it; it made it almost to 300k before he traded it in.

My 15 Colorado (v6) is getting close to 250K.

I don't see any small/midsize GM vehicles on the list. I wonder if the good results will continue now that they are migrating to smaller engines and turbos in Chevy trucks.

Weren't on the list?

iSeeCars.com analyzed data for over 402 million cars. The average odometer reading for each vehicle was calculated at each yearly age, and a proprietary model based on these average mileages was developed to estimate the probability that each vehicle would survive to various mileage thresholds. Heavy-duty vans and models with insufficient data were excluded from further analysis, except heavy-duty trucks were included for the truck-specific analysis.



Would guarantee that they Land Cruiser/LX-450/LX-470 fell into the "insufficient data" category.

How is the frontier not on the list?

From 2012ish on, the frontier is bomb proof.

The 4Runner may last long enough for my 4 year old to drive it to high school. I will never sell it. I may get another Suburban or Yukon but I am keeping this 4Runner until it rusts out or gets wrecked or stolen.


My kid is 9. I fully plan on her taking over my 4Runner when she is ready. I will buy a lease returned 2023 in a few years, let me wife drive it until my daughter takes my 4Runner.

I'll take the "new one", and I expect it will be the last car I ever buy for myself.

I always say you can drive a Toyota to the other side of hell.
