2002 4runner SR5. 221,000 miles. Just put 4 new tires on last week. I love this ride...

2001 Chevy Suburban (hunting vehicle) 255,000 miles
2012 Audi for work 116,000 miles
2019 Suburban (wife) @30,000 miles. We’ll run it another 8 to 10 years.

2012 F-150 with about 367k miles, V8, no serious issues yet

Had on 05 Chevy Cavalier with 220000 on it. The entire dash fell apart, had to swap out the passenger seat to the drivers side because the driver seat was ruined. That meant I had no seatbelt because the clicker part was on the wrong side. Car still ran when I decided it just wasn’t worth it anymore. Now have a 19 Tacoma that I hope to drive for many many years.

2010 f150 xlt 4x4
289,900 miles

I'm at 145K on 2010. I've performed thorough maintencence for the life of the vehicle. I currently have a humming noise coming from the front drivers side and I just spoke to a mechanic about, initial diagnosis is a front hub bearing needs to be replaced. Appt scheduled this week.

I plan to drive this vehicle for another year, probably about 25K and then re-evaluate.

Company car with a company gas card

07 Ram 2500 Megacab 248,000 Almost ditched it in 2019 over some stubborn vibration issues. I'm glad I stayed at it and worked them out. (tires and driveshaft balance ultimately were the culprit combined with worn bushings (all of them) that allowed the sympathetic vibrations to get worse)
