I put 180k on my truck in 10 years.

201k on an 07 f150 4.6.
Just recently had to replace coils and plugs and ball joints. Truck eats brakes. It’s been nice but I drive too much now to justify a truck. Bout to chop my nuts off and buy a sedan. Wife’s SUV can pull the boat.

These are 2 we had/have in our stable. Sold my Sub with 243k. We still have the Seq. 190k.

And Toyota Land Cruisers outlast them all - they just don't sell that many...
Price tag is 100K. Not many OT ballers outside the thriving economy of S La can afford these vehicles

Didn’t read the entire thread but here’s my personal 200k experiences:
Bought a ‘14 Grand Cherokee new in January of ‘14.
It turned 200k last week.
Oil Changes every 10K (synthetic)
Tire Rotation and balance every 20k
Passenger headlamp went out at 175k ($60)
Alternator failed at 185k ($700 repair)
Have done zero of the recalls.
25 MPGs overall, I drive reasonably sedately.
Vehicle before that-
Had a ‘07 Avalanche got new, same basic story (one repair, ~$1k) with lower overall MPG (20.5), put 215k miles on it.
My takeaway is that you make your own luck to a great degree with vehicle durability.
ETA: Tires at 85-90k, front brakes at about the same, rear brakes are due now for the first time.

Correlation =/= causation. Selling a larger percentage of cars with 200k miles on them has far more to do with the cost of new vs used than anything else. It's for that reason SUVs and trucks dominate the list. You can pay $6k and pick up a Sequoia with 200k miles, or $45k+ for a new one. That's alot more to stomach than shelling out $20k for a brand new Carolla.
Analyzing the amount of vehicles that are sold with over 200k miles and then drawing reliability conclusions from that seems flawed.

Bought an ‘06 Grand Cherokee in ‘06 that had 17k miles on it (former rental). MIL still drives it with 165k on it. Brake pads lasted 122k Miles. Just put another new battery in it the other day. That car will probably last the rest of her life, since she MIGHT drive 100 miles/month

6 out of the 14 reported are Toyotas

Just an observation. People who purchase those autos typically value maintenance. If you serviced a Hyundai as recommended, would you have the same life cycle?

Buy American! That mean a company that is American. You are not buying American when you buy a foreign car even if those slack-jawed yokels in Tennessee and Mississippi and Alabama are making them you are buying an Anti-American product.

It would take me 20-25 years to put 200k on a vehicle
Twelve years to put 125,000 on my Toyota Tundra. I really would love a nice, modern plush new truck but there is nothing wrong with the Tundra. I'm definitely going for 200K. I'm approaching my mid 60s. Hard to get my head around the fact that I may only purchase one more truck.

The more I think about this, the shittier this rationale seems to be. Toyota Sequoia sales have been declining considerably since 2005 - they sold 4x more in 2005 than they did last year. It stands to reason from that alone that they'll have more older used models for sale than new ones, which will skew towards higher mileages. It's a shitty way to measure any of this.
