I've had five Toyotas; one Corolla, one Tercel, two Tacomas, and a Celica and they all had over 300,000 miles on the odometer and were going strong when I sold them.
I have a DIESEL TOYOTA. The Fortuner aka the 4Runner's brother. Same engine as the Hilux. However only available in Australia and Asia. EPA doesn't like diesel, so not available in USA... However Diesel is beautiful.... I may ship my Fortuner to Mexico and register it there... Then drive it in America 😆😆
How about rusting on the highlander. Is the frame still good on it. I just bought a Camry. I was debating between that or a car. So I got a 2018 Camry. Well I guess as long as it’s a Toyota or Honda I can’t go wrong
A little trick with newer model Toyotas if they say to change the oil at 10K do it in half that you will easily hit 350 to 400k if you change the oil regularly

I don't think the data they gathered is reflective of the real world. Since they gathered data only through publicly available mileage reported by the repair facilities, it does not give you the real picture. Many high mile cars are owner repaired and maintained, and their mileage data do not get reported properly, if at all. If you've been shopping for used cars, then you know which cars reach high mileage. Not in particular order: Ford F-150 Ford Crown Vic / Lincoln Town Car Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota 4runner Lexus LS Chevy Suburban Ford Ranger Jeep Cherokee XJ Jeep Wrangler TJ Toyota Corolla Honda Accord Honda Civic Toyota Tacoma
I just had to put down my 2000 SR5 with 312,000 miles. I couldn’t keep up with the frame rust. Loved it so much I bought a 98 Limited with 187,000 miles. A baby.
@@lowandslow3939 A baby,lol,very true though,their just great vehicles though,I test drove a 2012 with 168,000 miles and it really drove very well,thinking about buying it,the rear hatch latch is broke and it's pretty rusted underneath,but it purrs like a kitten,so I'll see...
I know it is a how bu actually the navigator is surprising. It has one of the highest net worth Individuals that own them. Seeing as it's mostly an expedition. I think it's a great study in that if you maintain your car. It stays nice.
I recently ran into a guy that I sold a land cruiser to in 2000. He still drives it daily and the only major repair he has had is to reupholster the seats.
For a very long time, Landcruisers were the only passenger vehicles that could do multiple round trips from Tibet to coastal Chinese cities without requiring repairs, and no other passenger vehicle was able to do the feat.
I have a 98 Cruiser that's got more than 200k, only major repair was the front passenger side cv boot got torn. The rest are just scheduled maintenance. Still use it to tow my 21ft boat. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country anytime.
Bought a 2000 TLC for $53k off the showroom floor, drove it for 12yrs/125k miles, got $20k trade-in value against a $125k 2012 Range Rover Autobiography SC.... worst decision I’ve ever made.... going back to Landcruiser in 2021
I generally run my cars to 300k before replacing them. Had an A4 that I sold with 277k, Grand Cherokee 289k, currently running a Tacoma with 175k and is still basically like new. The Tacoma is probably going to outlast me!
I have always replaced my cars at 200,000 miles, because that's when they have always started nickel and diming me. I am going to try 300,000 miles with my current car. I neve did maintenance, other than oil changes every 3000 miles. I have a 2005 mustang 4.0 with 165,000 miles. I finally started doing the preventative maintenace. I replaced spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, serpentine belt, wheel bearings, brake pads. My plan is from now on to replace the water pump every 100,000 miles as preventative maintenance, since it seems like they always go out when it is -40 degrees out.
A4 and grand Cherokee with that many miles I’m impressed. Having seen the a4 engine blown at 120k on my friends and a 2018 jeep burn a quart of oil every 3k miles and makes suspension noises, she’s now at 30k one of my co workers.
Please do more videos like this... Love this "data-driven" approach and yes as customers we do care about the longevity and resale value of our car/SUV! :)
Jose With the arrival of electric handbrakes, this is becoming increasingly difficult without specialist tools and knowledge just to be able to disengage the brakes!
They are reliable if you maintain them. However, nobody said that it would be cheap. Thats the reason why you see so many broken Luxury cars. People buy them cheap, not realizing they can't afford the service...
These things never are accurate. Besides, you can keep almost any car running if you put the money into it. Some people are just smart enough to know when to sell and let some other chump deal with the problems.
Agreed. And I wouldn't include the current version of CRV with the 4 cyl. 1.5L turbo and full time direct injection. Excessive oil dilution is going to wear those engines early. Good luck getting the dealers to replace them engines near 100k miles, even under extended warranty.
Exactly. Aside form Tesla, many of the vehicles with lots of mileage are probably one or two generations older than the current models. This video should be taken with a grain of salt.
@Big Dee What? My family has seen numerous Toyota vehicles with paint that still looked great after 100k. Examples: I traded my 13 Tundra at 100k and the paint still looked new; an aunt has a 2011 Avalon with 160k and the paint looks nice, she sold her 2000 Avalon to her neighbor (has to have at least 250k miles at this point), the paint isn't pretty any more but the clearcoat is still relatively in tact, and before it was totaled (in 2016) I had a cousin with a 98 4runner with 250k+ miles and the only visible paint issues were on the painted fender flares. This is in the bright Texas sun I might add. Wash and wax your car every now and then and you'd be surprised what will last.
@Big Dee That's false. I have a 16 year old Acura TL with 180k and the paint job looks mint. And why the hell would you sell a Lexus just because you can't do the oil change yourself? You can take it to a shop for $30 every 7500 miles which is only a few dollars more than what you'd spend on supplies yourself anyway. I think you're full of crap.
Bought my 2005 4.Runner new and still driving it every day. Most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Definitely deserves to be on the list. But I also agree with the Tacoma owners, I’ve had a couple of those and both were highly durable and never failed me once.
I myself have an 07, but I got mine used 5 yrs ago with 112k. I love it, 155k currently. And outside routine maintenance, all I ever had to do was change my alternator when it gave out at 149k. That's it. 😃 And to make you feel even better..... This is a post from the original owner of an 03....www.reddit.com/r/4Runner/comments/dohr6l/after_435000_milesthe_rear_end_exhaust_needed
My 2003 Tacoma, which I bought new off the lot with 274 miles is now at 450,500 miles. The only major maintenance I've completed on it has been catalytic converters at 175,000 and a fuel pump at approximately 225,000. It still has the original clutch. I recently did a break job and on the rear drums only had to adjust them for the first time since it was new
Absolutely, 1994 Corolla might be a forever car! NONE Of the cars mentioned in the video are "forever cars". Complex electronics with tons of proprietary parts and programming doom these cars scrap heaps way before mechanical parts wear out
2001 Ford Escape V6. 269,000 miles still running well. Doing most repair myself. Parts easy to get. Room to work in engine bay. Fits easily in the garage.
My 09 Impala has been a very good car. 180K and still looks and drives very well even with Michigan winters. Key to any vehicle is change your fluids regularly and at recommended time intervals. Antifreeze, differentials, transmission etc..
I had a 1989 Volvo 760 Turbo that lasted over 250,000 miles with zero issues and it was still running strong until it was a total loss by a red light runner. Great car, I miss it. 👍
It's hard to believe at the price of cars that even the best car only has a 15% chance of making it to 200,000 miles. I have a 2001 Ford van with 300,000 miles on it that still runs great and I only paid $10,000 for it 19 yrs ago
Yes, the 4.6 engines refuse to die. They are tanks on four wheels. The 6 speed transmission on them is also good, provided you change the fluid at 100k. The crown vics/Grand Marquis easily could last upwards of 250-300k or more. Just don't get the old cop cars. They are beat up and have shorter life spans.
@Eamon O'Connell I agree. Also, as part of a professional fleet, they are better maintained than a private car. And many of them just cruise the whole day.
@Steve Wilder Fords have a chance of lasting.. They build a million, the 600-700k that don't blow up after 100k because of casting defects, machining, etc, have a good chance of going longer. most NA vehicles are the same way.
200k is just being broken in for Toyota and Honda. Do another real list of how many make it to 400K + with only regular maintenance, nothing major done.
This is why I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid and 2009 Escape Hybrid in my driveway. Did a lot of research before buying them used. Apparently they make 500K easily. Fusion is at 190K miles with nothing major done. Original shocks, HV battery, transmission fluid ("lifetime" fluid), air filter ("lifetime" air filter), brake pads (regen is awesome), serpentine belt, and pretty much everything else. Only issues have been an ABS module and fuel pump. Of course, I'll change much of this at 200K. But I really couldn't have asked for a more reliable car.
351k on my 1990 Volvo 740GL Wagon when I retired it. A perfect car. The Allison transmission was larger than the engine. I think that is the secret you still see old Volvos on the road.
My 16 Rogue costed us $0.04 per mile for 109k miles till it got totaled. Could easily reached and passed 200k and still cost less if it wasn't totalled.
@@Duderocksdj101 Rogue is notoriously crap, from build quality to reliability. I wouldnt get too excited there. Totalling iy was the equivalent to experiencing the upcoming issues you WOULD have had with it. Nissan in shit, and has been for 10 years now.
I bought my 06 back in 09 with 42k. Paid $38k for it. It now has 165k on it and just runs like a top. The two issues with them are the paint, mainly on the hood, and the drivers seat leather. Wash and wax the truck often. Use a cleaner wax a couple times a year. And clean and condition the leather seats. Everything else is minimum upkeep. I plan on driving it for a long time into the future, as long as gas stays reasonable 😂. It's not the most fuel efficient.
Thank you for making a video that applies to 99% of the population. No reason to watch videos of things you will never buy or things that are not priced for you as the target consumer. THIS video should actually be the most popular video on UA-cam.
@@rediron44 Glad to hear that was the case with your Taurus. That was probably a Taurus built on a Wednesday or in Canada and, by & large, is the exception rather than the rule. The only Ford car made in the last 40 years known to exceed 300,000 miles time and time again is the Panther Platform cars (Crown Victoria, CVPI, Grand Marquis, Marauder, & Towncar). But, the Panther Platform cars are also known to spontaneously combust when rear-ended (A dear friend of mine barely escaped such a conflagration in a company-issued Towncar). Most Toyotas and many Hondas routinely exceed 300,000 and 400,000 miles without any significant repairs. I've heard that in foreign countries, guerillas & insurgents prefer Toyota vehicles because of their well-earned reputation for reliability and longevity. If you had said it was a Chrysler/Dodge car that had 300,000 - 400,000 reliable miles on it, I would say you are truly blessed and highly favored of God. A miracle even. dodge (v): to avoid quickly, to evade. Avoid Dodge vehicles, especially the cars.
@@frederickevans4113 Canada?? Really? You don't think Americans can build a solid vehicle?? Dick cimment. The reason I bought the Taurus was how long they run. Good friends wife drives over 100 miles round trip every day. Thats all she drove until they made them a more expensive sedan, and replaced the mid level with the Fusion. She got 300k from every Taurus. And has gotten that from her Fusion too. As has my brother. Looks like those American built cars are making you a liar..USA, 🇺🇸
I just bought a 4 runner that has 168k miles. First Toyota I've bought. It sounds good and it's really good shape. Still kinda unsure bout the life of it.
My 2005 Scion xB has lived 3 lifetimes at over 300k. It will be my hands down favorite car I have ever owned. Very low maintenance but super fun to own and drive. I handed it down to my oldest son when I purchased my Kia Forte Koup in 2010, another fun car that is at 175k but, sadly I don't think will outlast the Scion.
I worked for an auto carrier as the yard supervisor and terminal manager at Toyota Highlander/Sienna/Sequoia plant in Princeton, IN. I know how particular Toyota Mfg is as far as quality control on the vehicles. It was amazing at how small an issue would get a vehicle sent back to the plant. Some of my drivers also hauled other makes, and they knew the difference in quality from other brands
My friend had the Mazda version of the Ranger. Sold it with about 450k on the clock. Needed a transmission under warranty, otherwise pretty much all original.
Hayden734 it was a v6 auto. He drove tons of highway miles for his job. When you hear stories of any car with this high miles on the original engine it usually involves mostly highway use.
Forgot about the F150. I’ve driven a few high mileage ones. One with 424k miles, an FX4. Looked brand new the leather upholstery looked brand new, steering wheel wasn’t even peeling and 0 rust and spent its life in Wisconsin. and another one with around 210k miles, I think it was a XLT.
I'm still driving my 1990 Geo Prizm. Reliable as hell. Cheap to maintain. A/C blows colder than modern cars. It is going to last longer than I am. It turned 30 years old this year and I threw a party in its honor. There was cake and an oil change.
My buddy has a chevy 6.0 with 330,000 miles. He said the transmissions go out at 280,000 miles, but it's only $1500 to have it rebuilt, or you can get one cheap at the salvage yard.
Was surprised not to see the Sequoia on the list but it is probably because it is the same segment as the Landcruiser. I have seen tons and tons of Sequoias for sale over 200k. they don't break down because they have been using the same engine and parts for yrs. If you are gonna get a used vehicle, either of these would be high on the list. I would not pay the price for one new but used in good shape, heck yeah.
@@rundmm I'm a firm believer in not having debt. I don't see the point in borrowing money to buy a depreciating commodity (cars). I just got a new job which pays much more than I have ever made in the past and this is going to be my "year of car buying" - aiming at ~100k cars as a daily and a higher-mileage vehicle as a backup. My goal is a sub 200k Sequoia as the backup and a 100k mile Lincoln Town Car as a daily. I'm thinking a total cash output of ~$7-8k, no debt, and a good car years of relatively trouble-free driving.
@@skippythetubrat hard to find a good sequoia down here that runs less than 10k on its own. There are some but they are really used up, not so much in miles but in the exterior and interior part of the vehicle.
@Heywood Jablowme toyota is also boring. Only difference between them is people who drive Hondas usually beat the sh!t out of them. As well toyota just just had a major recall on their engines.
@@792bnz Idk man, if youre talking cars sure, but the trucks are on another level when it comes to overlanding and no we aint bored out there son. Try searching it sometime and you'll know why.
I've owned four Toyota trucks and all but one of them went well north of 200000 miles. My first one in 1987 had 218000 when I traded it and it still ran great. My current 2010 Tacoma has 248000 and still runs great. After looking at prices of new and used ones I will probably keep this one a while longer.
The main killer of the camry is the oil and oil leaks. Keep the oil changed and the leaks fixed and it'll run forever. Let it slip and destroy your engine.
My land cruiser is currently at 110,000 KM with no problems at all, I am always getting offers to sell it everywhere I go, good offers too... I'm glad I made the choice of getting one!
My 99 LC has 413k. I called a local shop that works primarily on Japanese autos. I asked them about LC’s with higher mileage. They said they see them come in w 800k. Mine runs great; half way there.
LC? What brand does THAT stand for? I’ve never heard of it. Is it a model of a particular brand? I know that there’s a LEXUS LC that first came out in late 2018. Is that the one you mean? It was not available in 1999, so probably just a typo, right?
I had a 2004 Acura MDX at 304k miles and was still going strong. Never once left me stranded or any problems. Transmission was still original. I cannot say enough good about that year mdx
I would have seriously thought the Chevy Tahoe or Yukon would be the car with the most miles still on the road... I still see a boat load of the 02,03 models driving around over 300k on them.. bullet proof
I'm a Toyota fan. But I'm even more a car enthusiast. I wanted to find out about the BMW reputation. Quite simply, it's hit and miss, buy the wrong model and experience financial ruin, buy another and get 200k+. As a rule, older smaller Beemers are better! At one point, I had three E46 and two E36. Check CL and FB to find many older 90s BMWs with 250-350k miles. Also, the internet to find stories of newer Beemers with electrical problems that are not fixable.
Papa Torr I am a bmw enthusiast and I love Toyotas. My dad has a land cruiser which is indestructible but just like you said if you buy a right model bmw and take care of it will last especially the older generations from 80s to 2000s(except the e60 m5 and any 7 series after e38)
I have a honda accord 2004, 4 cylinder running with 305,000 miles still running like new, never had replaced a major component like a water pump, radiator, alternador or timing belt cause has a chain belt...really durable cars..thanks honda!! And thank you guys excellent video!!
Good thing you got out of it when you did. Infiniti (Nissan) has been owned (for all practical intents & purposes) by Renault since 1999. The company is called the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance (see who's name gets top billing). Nissan quality is but a memory. A friend of mine's Altima (still under warranty) has already had the transmission replaced (at only 55,000 miles). Between the Renault and the CVTs, Nissans now don't last like the 1993 Sentra my wife and I had some years ago. Nissan & Infiniti are now to be treated like Italian vehicles (including Dodge/Chrysler) - to be avoided if you don't have crazy money to spend on repairs. Except the Leaf (no gasoline engine, no transmission).
Frederick Evans Nissan Frontier might be the last remaining reliable vehicle sold by them with the old style 4L VQ engine and traditional 5 speed automatic. I’m sure the new drivetrain isn’t up to par on the 2020 model compared to the old ones though. Those old VQ series engines were amazing. The 3.5 in my G35 was a beast. I sold it before it’s prime though I still miss that car. So much fun to drive.
I know nothing about cars, but this was a joy to watch. Laughing at them conversing about the land cruiser especially lol. These guys are really relaxing to watch.
I would argue that the expectation for different brands of vehicles make a large difference in how long people keep cars and trucks on the road. People spend much much for a used Land Cruiser that they are willing to spend a lot of money for on going maintenance and restoration in comparison to many USA based cars. People get bored and abandon many 3.8 Buicks rather than do relative inexpensive repairs on them. The same is true for the many GM LS applications. ChrisFix just rebuilt a Trailblazer for less than $1000 total investment....Much cheaper investment than a Toyota- and this was a SUV that was abused...
REALLY?. I recently sold my 03 vibe (toyota matrix..) with almost 350k. ( At 299,999k I had to keep track by the trip meter..) when the guy came to pick it up he was shocked at how good it looked and ran.. still got 30mpg, the AWD worked beautifully, didn't burn oil between changing etc. I ran it almost 1500 miles a week for 3 years of it's life and it never even burped.. I only got rid of it because I had 5 cars and was moving and got rid of the three oldest. If Toyota's and Honda's don't dominate that list it's flawed.. Can't imagine how much the ONE BMW that made it to 200k Cost to get there..
Where is the Toyota corolla? These things are basically indestructible!! My friend has one that has over 500.000 miles and the only thing that he's done to it is changing the oil and the brakes and the belt THATS IT!! And it still runs absolutely fine. He has an 2006 toyota corolla ce 1.8 liter 4cil
Knew someone with a Camry and before she sold it she had her car shop friends turn back the miles from 250,000 to 65,000 miles. This is why these cars don’t hit the target.
My friend has 07 Sequoia that she can't get an evap line for. It's dead in the water without it and Toyota isn't making the part and not enough of them for aftermarket parts to be made.
Dream on. American made trucks run forever. Everyone our construction company had run well past 300k. While carrying tons of weight every mile they travel..
200k isn't shit. I've owned Ford Taurus' that have all hit 300k. And still going when I sold them. Ford Crown Vics go 500k for cab companies constantly
@ you're insane. No construction company buys 15 year old trucks. They buy new off the lots. And put construction beds on them. And no construction companies buys import trucks. Because they don't hold up to real abuse. And those Hondas and Toyotas are no better than any other car.

Just purchased 4wks ago 2006 LX470, 189K miles, runs perfect. Was same price as a base trim used 2017 Rav4 . Build quality is mind blowing. I hope to make it to at least 300K, then I'll buy a 200 series LC/LX.
@@dcoidua June 2020, was $17K at Sewel Lexus in Dallas. At the time it was pricey, but the service records were complete from mile 0 on Lexus owner website and a 1-owner LX. Feels like prices have kept climbing since purchase. I couls probably sell it for $19-20K easily. Good luck and don't get discouraged. Took me 3 months and good timing to find the right 100 series.
Most of my extended family now own Toyota or Lexus. It has drastically reduced our vehicle problems. Recently traded in my 07 Tundra for a 2020. It had 250k hard miles only replaced starter. Took my Tundra to our mechanic who works on our company trucks as well. Said check it all over I want to make sure everything is ok and road worthy. Replace what you need to. He found -0- problems. He informed me how well they’re built and after almost 30 years from being a mechanic he’s ordering a Tundra for himself. Love the reliability. They just hold up so much better both inside and out. Hope the new 2022 can keep its reliability as well with all the new tech that will be on it.
The land cruiser is still a hot seller in global markets, and they also get a 4.5 turbo diesel V8 as an option (and its the one that most people buy). Extremely great SUV. I wish I could afford one. Even 2010 models are still as expensive as a new 2020 SUV or truck of any other brand.
200k has been common in many models for decades. Why not step up into modernity? Do 300k or even 400k to weed out the new cars that ought all do it anyway. Dad has a 61 gmc pu with over a million. When you’re wealthy like you guys you don’t keep cars long enough to know. Ask any of us old hot rodders what long lasting really means…

I have a 98 Cruiser that's got more than 200k, only major repair was the front passenger side cv boot got torn.
The rest are just scheduled maintenance. Still use it to tow my 21ft boat. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country anytime.
Bought a 2000 TLC for $53k off the showroom floor, drove it for 12yrs/125k miles, got $20k trade-in value against a $125k 2012 Range Rover Autobiography SC.... worst decision I’ve ever made.... going back to Landcruiser in 2021

2001 Toyota Sequoia 352,000+ same engine and transmission runs like new just remember to change ball joints
I generally run my cars to 300k before replacing them. Had an A4 that I sold with 277k, Grand Cherokee 289k, currently running a Tacoma with 175k and is still basically like new. The Tacoma is probably going to outlast me!
I have always replaced my cars at 200,000 miles, because that's when they have always started nickel and diming me. I am going to try 300,000 miles with my current car. I neve did maintenance, other than oil changes every 3000 miles. I have a 2005 mustang 4.0 with 165,000 miles. I finally started doing the preventative maintenace. I replaced spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, serpentine belt, wheel bearings, brake pads. My plan is from now on to replace the water pump every 100,000 miles as preventative maintenance, since it seems like they always go out when it is -40 degrees out.
A4 and grand Cherokee with that many miles I’m impressed. Having seen the a4 engine blown at 120k on my friends and a 2018 jeep burn a quart of oil every 3k miles and makes suspension noises, she’s now at 30k one of my co workers.

They are reliable if you maintain them. However, nobody said that it would be cheap.
Thats the reason why you see so many broken Luxury cars. People buy them cheap, not realizing they can't afford the service...

I bought my 88 Jeep Cherokee 4wd in 2002 for $2500 and it has been reliable and dependable ever since. Can't beat those Cherokees.
Yup, the old ones were amazing SUV. The new Cherokee is garbage.
No Camry, corolla, Rav4, tacoma, Sienna... ? There's no way this list is accurate lol.
Spot on!
Seriously where is the Camry?
These things never are accurate. Besides, you can keep almost any car running if you put the money into it. Some people are just smart enough to know when to sell and let some other chump deal with the problems.
Agreed. And I wouldn't include the current version of CRV with the 4 cyl. 1.5L turbo and full time direct injection. Excessive oil dilution is going to wear those engines early. Good luck getting the dealers to replace them engines near 100k miles, even under extended warranty.
Don G A lot of those engines may fail just after the six years runs out unfortunately. Honda knew what they were doing.
It also depends on the model years. I feel like this was all mixed up.
Exactly. Aside form Tesla, many of the vehicles with lots of mileage are probably one or two generations older than the current models. This video should be taken with a grain of salt.
@Big Dee What? My family has seen numerous Toyota vehicles with paint that still looked great after 100k. Examples: I traded my 13 Tundra at 100k and the paint still looked new; an aunt has a 2011 Avalon with 160k and the paint looks nice, she sold her 2000 Avalon to her neighbor (has to have at least 250k miles at this point), the paint isn't pretty any more but the clearcoat is still relatively in tact, and before it was totaled (in 2016) I had a cousin with a 98 4runner with 250k+ miles and the only visible paint issues were on the painted fender flares. This is in the bright Texas sun I might add. Wash and wax your car every now and then and you'd be surprised what will last.
Big Dee wow this is pure ignorance. You have no idea what you’re talking about 😂🤣
@Big Dee That's false. I have a 16 year old Acura TL with 180k and the paint job looks mint. And why the hell would you sell a Lexus just because you can't do the oil change yourself? You can take it to a shop for $30 every 7500 miles which is only a few dollars more than what you'd spend on supplies yourself anyway. I think you're full of crap.

Bought my 2005 4.Runner new and still driving it every day. Most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Definitely deserves to be on the list. But I also agree with the Tacoma owners, I’ve had a couple of those and both were highly durable and never failed me once.
I myself have an 07, but I got mine used 5 yrs ago with 112k. I love it, 155k currently. And outside routine maintenance, all I ever had to do was change my alternator when it gave out at 149k. That's it. 😃

My 2003 Tacoma, which I bought new off the lot with 274 miles is now at 450,500 miles. The only major maintenance I've completed on it has been catalytic converters at 175,000 and a fuel pump at approximately 225,000. It still has the original clutch.

My 09 Impala has been a very good car. 180K and still looks and drives very well even with Michigan winters. Key to any vehicle is change your fluids regularly and at recommended time intervals. Antifreeze, differentials, transmission etc..
I had a 1989 Volvo 760 Turbo that lasted over 250,000 miles with zero issues and it was still running strong until it was a total loss by a red light runner. Great car, I miss it. 👍
It's hard to believe at the price of cars that even the best car only has a 15% chance of making it to 200,000 miles. I have a 2001 Ford van with 300,000 miles on it that still runs great and I only paid $10,000 for it 19 yrs ago

Funny, I see Crown Victorias all over. I´m sure they have to be one of the most reliable and sturdiest car out there.
Yes, the 4.6 engines refuse to die. They are tanks on four wheels. The 6 speed transmission on them is also good, provided you change the fluid at 100k. The crown vics/Grand Marquis easily could last upwards of 250-300k or more. Just don't get the old cop cars. They are beat up and have shorter life spans.
@Eamon O'Connell I agree. Also, as part of a professional fleet, they are better maintained than a private car. And many of them just cruise the whole day.
I still drive my 1999 ford Taurus wagon all over nyc daily
@Steve Wilder Fords have a chance of lasting.. They build a million, the 600-700k that don't blow up after 100k because of casting defects, machining, etc, have a good chance of going longer. most NA vehicles are the same way.
Reliable? No, but you can definitely put 300k on them.
Maybe the list should be called "what % of car type owners change the fluids in their car at the recommended intervals"?
Good point
I do , I have a Volvo but it's only done 139000 miles , still sweet .
200k is just being broken in for Toyota and Honda. Do another real list of how many make it to 400K + with only regular maintenance, nothing major done.
Both my hemis are about there one being a jeep and one being a Durango it's that easy if you take care of things as they present themselves
Define "Regular maintainance".
This is why I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid and 2009 Escape Hybrid in my driveway. Did a lot of research before buying them used. Apparently they make 500K easily.
Fusion is at 190K miles with nothing major done. Original shocks, HV battery, transmission fluid ("lifetime" fluid), air filter ("lifetime" air filter), brake pads (regen is awesome), serpentine belt, and pretty much everything else. Only issues have been an ABS module and fuel pump.
Of course, I'll change much of this at 200K. But I really couldn't have asked for a more reliable car.

@@rediron44 Glad to hear that was the case with your Taurus. That was probably a Taurus built on a Wednesday or in Canada and, by & large, is the exception rather than the rule.
The only Ford car made in the last 40 years known to exceed 300,000 miles time and time again is the Panther Platform cars (Crown Victoria, CVPI, Grand Marquis, Marauder, & Towncar). But, the Panther Platform cars are also known to spontaneously combust when rear-ended (A dear friend of mine barely escaped such a conflagration in a company-issued Towncar).
Most Toyotas and many Hondas routinely exceed 300,000 and 400,000 miles without any significant repairs. I've heard that in foreign countries, guerillas & insurgents prefer Toyota vehicles because of their well-earned reputation for reliability and longevity.
If you had said it was a Chrysler/Dodge car that had 300,000 - 400,000 reliable miles on it, I would say you are truly blessed and highly favored of God. A miracle even. dodge (v): to avoid quickly, to evade. Avoid Dodge vehicles, especially the cars.

Just sold a 95 with 250k, live in the north so the bottom was rusting out, engine was still good.
Got a FORD 2001 F150 320000 miles still going GREAT work truck
Original engine?
Who else was surprised about the Toyota Tacoma not being on their.
Jacob Hall Tacoma would make top 3 easily.
I was waiting the Sequoia
I was flabbergasted
A 4runner basically is a tocoma.
4 runner made in Japan. High quality. Tacoma-all models now made in Mexico. Nicknamed the “Taco” for a reason.
The Tacoma trancends the list!
I test drove a Tacoma with 250k and I was very surprised with it still having the power and felt very solid.
I have a honda accord 2004, 4 cylinder running with 305,000 miles still running like new, never had replaced a major component like a water pump, radiator, alternador or timing belt cause has a chain belt...really durable cars..thanks honda!! And thank you guys excellent video!!
i just love the Daewoo badge y'all have there. My first car was a Daewoo Nubira and it's still puttin' around.
I had a 2004 Infiniti FX35 that lasted 376k miles, and then sold it! That car was amazing!
Good thing you got out of it when you did. Infiniti (Nissan) has been owned (for all practical intents & purposes) by Renault since 1999. The company is called the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance (see who's name gets top billing).
Nissan quality is but a memory. A friend of mine's Altima (still under warranty) has already had the transmission replaced (at only 55,000 miles). Between the Renault and the CVTs, Nissans now don't last like the 1993 Sentra my wife and I had some years ago.
Nissan & Infiniti are now to be treated like Italian vehicles (including Dodge/Chrysler) - to be avoided if you don't have crazy money to spend on repairs. Except the Leaf (no gasoline engine, no transmission).
Frederick Evans Nissan Frontier might be the last remaining reliable vehicle sold by them with the old style 4L VQ engine and traditional 5 speed automatic. I’m sure the new drivetrain isn’t up to par on the 2020 model compared to the old ones though. Those old VQ series engines were amazing. The 3.5 in my G35 was a beast. I sold it before it’s prime though I still miss that car. So much fun to drive.
I know nothing about cars, but this was a joy to watch. Laughing at them conversing about the land cruiser especially lol. These guys are really relaxing to watch.
I would argue that the expectation for different brands of vehicles make a large difference in how long people keep cars and trucks on the road. People spend much much for a used Land Cruiser that they are willing to spend a lot of money for on going maintenance and restoration in comparison to many USA based cars. People get bored and abandon many 3.8 Buicks rather than do relative inexpensive repairs on them. The same is true for the many GM LS applications. ChrisFix just rebuilt a Trailblazer for less than $1000 total investment....Much cheaper investment than a Toyota- and this was a SUV that was abused...
REALLY?. I recently sold my 03 vibe (toyota matrix..) with almost 350k. ( At 299,999k I had to keep track by the trip meter..) when the guy came to pick it up he was shocked at how good it looked and ran.. still got 30mpg, the AWD worked beautifully, didn't burn oil between changing etc. I ran it almost 1500 miles a week for 3 years of it's life and it never even burped..
I only got rid of it because I had 5 cars and was moving and got rid of the three oldest.
If Toyota's and Honda's don't dominate that list it's flawed..
Can't imagine how much the ONE BMW that made it to 200k Cost to get there..
Where is the Toyota corolla? These things are basically indestructible!! My friend has one that has over 500.000 miles and the only thing that he's done to it is changing the oil and the brakes and the belt THATS IT!! And it still runs absolutely fine. He has an 2006 toyota corolla ce 1.8 liter 4cil
why throw in tesla at 150K to spoil such a beautiful list.
Ahmer Rizvi they were sucking up to the snowflakes. They didn't want a complaint that this list caused Tesla owners to retreat to their safe spaces.
I'm surprised the Camry was not on there!!!
Knew someone with a Camry and before she sold it she had her car shop friends turn back the miles from 250,000 to 65,000 miles. This is why these cars don’t hit the target.
Yeah, my friend's 2008 Toyota Camry was running like new up till 2019, where she sold it and got a Mercedes Benz GLC 300 Coupe...
I was thinking the same thing
Remember, you have to sell your car to hit this list. People with Camry's and Corolla's keep them or pass them down to family.
@@rlrvir I plan on keeping mine forever
My friend has 07 Sequoia that she can't get an evap line for. It's dead in the water without it and Toyota isn't making the part and not enough of them for aftermarket parts to be made.
THe whole list should've just been toyotas lowkey lol
Honda showed up pretty strongly too
Dream on. American made trucks run forever. Everyone our construction company had run well past 300k. While carrying tons of weight every mile they travel..
200k isn't shit. I've owned Ford Taurus' that have all hit 300k. And still going when I sold them. Ford Crown Vics go 500k for cab companies constantly
@ you're insane. No construction company buys 15 year old trucks. They buy new off the lots. And put construction beds on them. And no construction companies buys import trucks. Because they don't hold up to real abuse. And those Hondas and Toyotas are no better than any other car.
@@rediron44 construction companies don't buy vehicles off lots and put new beds on them. They just buy commercial vehicles. Run along and play now, sonny.
Just purchased 4wks ago 2006 LX470, 189K miles, runs perfect. Was same price as a base trim used 2017 Rav4 . Build quality is mind blowing. I hope to make it to at least 300K, then I'll buy a 200 series LC/LX.
Hey man I've been looking at these, how much did you pay for it?
@@dcoidua June 2020, was $17K at Sewel Lexus in Dallas. At the time it was pricey, but the service records were complete from mile 0 on Lexus owner website and a 1-owner LX. Feels like prices have kept climbing since purchase. I couls probably sell it for $19-20K easily. Good luck and don't get discouraged. Took me 3 months and good timing to find the right 100 series.
Most of my extended family now own Toyota or Lexus. It has drastically reduced our vehicle problems. Recently traded in my 07 Tundra for a 2020. It had 250k hard miles only replaced starter. Took my Tundra to our mechanic who works on our company trucks as well. Said check it all over I want to make sure everything is ok and road worthy. Replace what you need to. He found -0- problems. He informed me how well they’re built and after almost 30 years from being a mechanic he’s ordering a Tundra for himself. Love the reliability. They just hold up so much better both inside and out. Hope the new 2022 can keep its reliability as well with all the new tech that will be on it.
The land cruiser is still a hot seller in global markets, and they also get a 4.5 turbo diesel V8 as an option (and its the one that most people buy). Extremely great SUV. I wish I could afford one. Even 2010 models are still as expensive as a new 2020 SUV or truck of any other brand.
I have a 2007 Acura RDX with 230k and it still runs good I have only had to replace the alternator and Radiator
200k has been common in many models for decades. Why not step up into modernity? Do 300k or even 400k to weed out the new cars that ought all do it anyway. Dad has a 61 gmc pu with over a million. When you’re wealthy like you guys you don’t keep cars long enough to know. Ask any of us old hot rodders what long lasting really means…
My 2002 Suburban have 400,000 plus miles. Still going. ORIGINAL engine
This seemed reasonable until they showed the Audi TT... now it all seems hog wash.
What? It was unreasonable from the start with that BMW X3 junk
@@VicMansaMusa Oh absolutely! That vehicle is straight garabge for several reasons! But the TT just stood out the most too me...
The keywords are in its segment. Ie the beatle or someother crap
@@VicMansaMusa The only reason the x3 was here is because it's so expensive that people have to just stick with the investment and keep up with the repair

2007 civic lx coupe. 208k right now. Starts everytime no problem. Power steerings going and ac went out last year. Gets me to work everyday
I’m trynna get one of those. The coupes look dope
Civic ousted the Corolla. BS.
Ridgeline ousted Tacoma. BS x 2.
Thank you guys.
No Lexus, Toyota corolla, camry, seqouia?
The problem with Honda is a weak transmission. Toyota has a strong transmission and engine.
I disagree with Civic. Also owning a 2019 Taco I'm not entirely shocked about the ridgeline, minus one fact. It's not a fricken truck.
People don't off-road Ridgeline
Corrollas are rental cars brings there number down
