when i sold my 1995 Cherokee it had 320,000 miles on it and it was still going strong with original drivetrain.

Lexus are great.

I bought a 2003 RX300 new, and drove it for 15 years.

1 set of brakes, 2 sets of tires, and oil changes.

Never a problem - traded it in 2018 and still got $4500 for it.

Wife and I drive 50 year old cars.

My sons 89 5.0 mustang now has 248,000 miles on it with it's original drivetrain. Never had a valve cover off of it. Only warranty work done when new was a set of brake rotors when it came in for a pulsation. Runs like a swiss watch, doesn't burn a drop of oil, and still knocks down 20mpg city and 25-26 mpg highway. Most of these were run hard and put away wet. This one has been properly maintained mechanically and it shows. Which I think goes along with the comment made earlier that most any vehicle if maintained properly will treat you pretty good and last a good while.

I have owned Suburbans in the past and all of them self destructed
starting at about 100k miles. the paint failed, upholstery failed, headliner fell down, engines and trans went out rear end went out, numerous A/C compressors and p/s component failures. I finally got smart and bought a 99
Ford Expedition. It currently at 20 years of age and 325,000 miles has it's original engine, transmission, rear end, A/C compressor and fuel pump. the paint is still beautiful as is the interior, including the headliner. It's never had an
oil leak, p/s leak, or A/C leak. I wouldn't trade that truck for a brand new Suburban.

2007 Toyota Tundra is my daily vehicle. Coming up on 200,000 miles and it remains a reliable, powerful, smooth and quiet ride. I’ve never owned a vehicle for so long. There’s nothing like having a reliable vehicle that’s been paid off for nine years.

[My442]

I drive a 2013 Tundra that I bought new.

At 53,000 miles, it has had zero issues.

Still drives tight and new.

Methinks this tells you more about replacement cost than the reliability of the vehicles on the list. Most of these vehicles are very expensive. As a consequence, if you own one and it breaks down, you are a lot more likely to repair it than try to find another one.

I am driving a 2001 GMC Yukon XL with 358,000 miles on it. Tires, gas, and oil. That’s it

Is this the Fox body one? I have a friend with a fox body Mustang with 278,000 and still driven at least 4 times a week.

Had a 1987 Cavalier w/5-speed that racked up 300K with the original clutch.

Actually, the ones that last the longest are the ones that are the best taken care of. Ignore it and it will leave you dead in yer tracks.

Facebook - Never had it, Never will. Google - I use it occasionally - don't you?

By the way - you are the one promoting the Yugo. I knew Yugo was junk before Google existed.

JD Powers Long Term Dependability Study isn't a poll - it's a scientific survey of actual new car purchasers that still own the vehicle after 3 years.

You frequently espouse the dependability of Hyundai and Kia - two brands that JD Powers shows as being dependable. So by your own words, JD Powers study must be valid, or your claim that they are biased towards GM must be invalid.

Take your pick.

I know it frustrates you that they don't survey trolls like you who just make things up as you go along - facts be damned.

Service call yesterday: I get called out on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra that "won't start". I get out to the car stuck in the entrance to an office supply chain store. Have to push all the trash out of the way so I can sit in the driver's seat. I push the start button and it cranks with a horrible knocking sound. Pop the hood, check the oil, About 2 quarts low of horrible filthy dirty oil. The wheels were turned so I could see the tires, so worn out "the air was showing". Doughnut spare on the back. Took a closer look and saw a connecting rod peeping out of a hole in the engine block. So 6-7 years old, 91,000 miles on the clock, probably had 1-2 oil changes in it's life, GAME OVER. Owner said they still owed over 9K on the car. Asked what it was worth? I said $225.00, as is, $250.00 if they still have the 4th aluminum wheel that was replaced by the doughnut. Same car given reasonable care would have probably lasted 12-13 years and 150K miles.

[Sirrotica]

Volvo semi tractor, (any semi tractor will work here) easily run a million miles.

[Andre]

I gave away my 2002 Honda Accord with 327,000 miles on it in 2016. Everything still worked well and it was getting 28 mpg. (V6) Still on the road as far as I know.

Damn few Ridgeline's will ever be used as a truck other than going to Lowe’s by the wife to get potting soul.

I don't drive trucks or SUVs as daily drivers. Toyotas have been the most reliable, cheapest to own cars I've owned. Seems Japanese sedans from the '90s - early '00s should be on this list somewhere? My current beater Honda Accord has 208K on it without major repairs. My '89 Corolla went 230K with only a water pump failure before the transmission gave out. I abused and neglected that car - the transmission probably gave out because I never once changed the oil in it and I bought it with 112K on the clock.

My dad had a '91 Buick LeSabre that went 220K without any major problems before he got T-boned. He bought an '06 to replace it and it's still going strong with over 200K on it. The GM sedans from the '90s to 'mid '00s with the 3.8L V6 were great cars.

I just find it strange that this list is nothing but trucks & SUVs...?

[Stuart]

What Types of Vehicles Last the Longest?

Most any car, if it's taken care of, not abused, and maintained regularly.

Agree; I commute and see many older beat Japanese sedans on the highway daily.

Two of the worst smaller sedans are the Ford Coutours and Dodge Status.

If you go to the link I provided (after Chief made fraudulent claims to the source) you would see that the 12 ranked vehicle was a Toyota Avalon.

https://www.iseecars.com/longest-las...ars-2019-study

At the bottom of the link they have the listing for cars only.

1. Toyota Avalon
2. Honda Odyssey
3. Honda Accord
4. Toyota Sienna
5. Toyota Prius
6. Chevrolet Impala
7. Ford Taurus
8. Toyota Camry
9. Toyota Camry Hybrid
10. Honda Civic

I find it interesting they consider the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna "cars", but whatever....

I'm well aware of many cars that have hit well over 200K, but this is looking at the percentage of those vehicles built that are still on the road at 200K.

With the value of cars listed above typically being much lower than a truck or SUV, I think more of them end up being scrapped before hitting the 200K mark.
