Fords are not reliable and they scam customers.

The trucks and body on frame suvs lend themselves to durability just from a design standpoint. They are engineered for towing, payload and off road and the vast majority end up being family vehicles and never stressed to their designed use. Most vehicles will last a long time, particularly the power train, if its well maintained. Keeping the fluids changed goes a long way, all the fluids too, not just engine oil.

Old school push rod engines with a single timing chain are very reliable no mater what the brand.

I will agree with you about the Toyota tundra. I drive a 2016 for work and we have a coworker that drives a 2014, they both have over 335,000 miles on it show no signs of stopping

The organization I currently work has 16 Honda Odysseys that we use as cargo vans (with rear seats subtracted). My current one a 2013, has 347,000 hard miles with fleet level maintenance (meaning very minimal). These cars are unstoppable.

When I was a kid, my parents go-to family hauler was always a Chevy Suburban. We would go on 1200+ mile trips multiple times a year there and back with the whole family and it was perfect. I even used to sell GM vehicles, and I would see families trade in their Suburbans and Yukon XLs with over 100000 miles after just a couple years of ownership and even more frequently. The answer to why those two vehicles are so high on the list is so simple, and it is that those are the two of the best road trip vehicles you can buy. Same reason I want one now.

In 1978 my parents traded in our old country squire station wagon and bought a suburban, this was before SUV's were a thing. I loved that truck, it was a great family hauler and was terrific for road trips.

Always a great listen with these two together.

It is hard to separate a good car from a good owner. Half-interval fluid changes, light freeway duty, regular & preventive maintenance, 4 time per year waxing, immediate repairs, garage storage, underbody protection or favorable locations, sun protection, touch up paint repairs, regular body lubrication, high quality replacement parts, tire pressure discipline, careful driving and use, regular interior, under hood and under chassis cleaning, pride of ownership. It takes care, time and money to get the most out of a vehicle. Some long-lived brands (Toyota, Lexus, Porsche) draw more meticulous, wealthier, longevity oriented original owners. Is it more the car or the culture and wealth of the owners?

We own 5 Chevy 5.3’s (Suburbans & Avalanches) with 148k-254k miles on them. There’s a reason why there are so many of them at 20yo still out on the road.

It’s got a pretty babies life now. I watched the video where they deconstructed that million mile Tundra to see what state it was in after that many miles. Toyota said they saw no reason why it couldn’t keep going, no notable wear beyond bumps and bruises consistent with “truck stuff.” They’re solid vehicles, the 4.7 is fantastic, plenty of power for most applications and very smooth.

Keep it low

Here is the skinny from a school trained mechanic that LOVES Toyota and LOVES Mercedes: I love Toyota in my personal opinion when people ask me about cars I say that : Toyota Honda and Subaru are probably the best cars money can buy. Not to discount Nissan but I've seen electrical issues with them that plague the brand...Now Mercedes vehicles will essentially run forever so will BMW but DO NOT expect to go problem free for your run. This video here is literally 99.999% accurate as nothing is 100% LOL ..but listen to this guy. Now I currently drive a 2015 4Runner and a 2012 C class sport so I am literally like he's spot on. Now I do believe Mercedes recommended draining oil through the dipstick via a pump as it supposedly provided more of an emptying than the traditional drain plug method. I am old school and I drain oil via the plug. Mercedes are classy cars not so much sporty and aggressive as some BMW models but you will NEVER get away neglecting maintenance on these cars as you might the 'forgiving' Toyota. Plain and simple Mercedes are easy to buy used but the issue is not can you buy one but rather can you AFFORD to maintain it. That is the real decision you need to make before buying a Mercedes, BMW, Porshe, AUDI oh...and especially a Range Rover. Please do your research on yearly Cost-To-Ownership. My last piece of advice I will give to you for free yet it has cost me thousands of dollars over 35 years.....Find yourself a specialist in your area that only repairs Mercedes. It won't be cheap but you'll avoid the dealership which does not have your best interests at heart. If you care to drive luxury then be prepared to pay for luxury but support your privately owned vehicle specialists. More often than not they'll be upfront with you and won't rip you off with unnecessary maintenance. Yes there is such a thing!! I am a blue collar like many others just trying to live and enjoy life simultaneously so I am not promoting any particular business. I like my Toyota and I like my Benz..I fix what I can myself and I have to pay for what I cannot do myself. Such is Life. Being very informed is your best weapon. Ja Wohl. Fahrt mit lust!!!!

TFL, I really enjoy all your guys knowledge and the sharing of it! I believe that sometimes vehicle owners don’t give any fees back on their vehicles. I say this because I’ve owned Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Nissan. In my humble opinion both Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are great pickup trucks. I had a 2001 Chevy Silverado, extended cab z71 that lasted me 255,000 before I had to do anything to the engine. Also had a 2002 GMC Sierra extended cab z71 that had 330,000 before I did anything to the engine. By far, the worst truck I owned has been a 2016 Nissan Titan XD. Everything that could go wrong with a truck went wrong. Electrical - stereo, window and door lock controls, transmission, engine knocking and only was giving me 7 MPG and it had under 35k. Ended up loosing $25,000 on this one. Biggest loss in my life. As always, truly do enjoy your guys videos and the sharing of your opinion and also facts!

I drive a 2001 Prius still with 275k miles. Still get between 40 and 50mpg depending on the time of the year. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere other than the fact that you feel like every other car will blow you off the road as they pass you lol

We aren’t alone- the South is crawling with these since they don’t rust down here.

It doesn’t seem like we are comparing apples to apples here. Seems like this includes personal vehicles and fleet/commercial vehicles. Guessing all the GMs on the list high up are fleet vehicles, racking up high mileage in just a few years, whereas the Hondas and Toyotas are probably twice as old or more, to accumulate similar mileage.

I'll take a Land Cruiser over a Sequoia any day. I'm sure the only reason Cruisers "don't last" as long is that parts are higher-quality (thus more expensive) so they get totaled easier.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have a 2005 ML350 with 217K.

Engine still runs great and steady. There's always something to do with this vehicle every few months if not sooner. I am able to do most of the above, otherwise, I would have traded it in. It's kept for sentimental value -- my kids grew up in it and my late brother used to own it.

My 04 sequoia 4wd is trucking like new with 250k miles

My parents owned a ‘98 Sienna LE from 2004 to 2014. My dad bought it with less than 80,000 and sold it with 253,000 miles after the front axle shaft gave out. He thought it was the transmission until it was diagnosed. He repaired it but decided to sell it because he went on lots of road-trips and didn’t want to risk any breakdowns out of state.

Thanks for great list. You guys put good time and effort for the viewers. But I really wish people would understand just having these vehicles does not mean it will go beyond those miles. My dad is driving his second Kia Sedona, not known for its reliability, but first one had 270 thousand before it died without much drama people always talks about. Second one is on 221 thousand and it still goes like new, quiet and smooth and fast enough when needed. ofc seats and all does show wear. Simple oil changes and fluid flushing can extend life of vehicles. And glad to see my expedition making the list. Got 225 thousand and probably will keep it til 400.

The Sedonas (and many other Hyundai products) with the 3.3l MPi engine are very reliable when scheduled maintenance is followed. The 3.3 GDi _can_ be reliable, but is more prone to failure due to carbon buildup. Sounds like your dad is good about maintaining his vehicles.

The issue with this list is that I don’t think it shows the years. The difference between a 2002 Sequoia and a 2022 sequoia is more than a 2022 sequoia and a 2022 expedition. Older vs newer versions of these models are not remotely related due to emission standards, materials, etc.

The longest lasting vehicles are the w123 & w124 models of Mercedes Benz. The 200D versions are well known to last 800k+ kilometers (500k+ miles) and are still being used in many countries in Africa and the Middle East.

My parents used to have a mid 2000's toyota sienna LE. They basically bought it new, and that thing was used and abused with my family of 6. It would go on roadtrips pushing past its max payload, and it would go up gravel roads, and it would just do everything that was thrown at it. It made it to around 230k miles until it got wrecked, and it would of still kept going. Overdrive would sometime lurch the vehicle and more things were getting worn, but that minivan survived a lot, and still worked pretty darn well all things considered. After my jeep xj, I'll definietely get an older toyota.

I think the point here is that we're seeing a lot of large vehicles, trucks, and Hybrids. People don't want to let these go because of the price to replace them, utility, or MPG. They make them last longer by fixing them rather than scrapping them or selling them to someone else that will drive it for 200K miles.

My VW Jetta TDI just passed 300k and the engine seems ready for another 100k!

Fun to listen to, thanks!

Such a brilliant video. There are tens of more cars that could qualify for this list. Cars that will definitely reach all those high miles/km.

I’ve done some research on why hybrid cars are more reliable than ICE only cars, and the best I can figure is the hybrid system uses electric to assist in initial acceleration, which is the area where the most wear and tear on traditional drivetrain. The electric hybrid spares the wear on traditional drivetrain and improves reliability and longevity, so long as you clean your hybrid filter often

I would love to see a similar list of top 5 in each category instead of having everything of different categories bunched together

I am old enough to remember when Japanese cars first started flooding the North American market, people knew back then that their quality and reliability was second to none. The people at Toyota just do things different and it's an actual cultural or Japanese mindset to make things so reliable and then stick with it for a long time to fine tune and make it even better. Change is slow but they don't have to change as often as others to bring in customers. They make good cars and trucks and the numbers for resale and reliability sell their cars and trucks for them.

Sequoia: Named after the great Sequoia tree to convey strength, longevity, and beauty.

I've owned Land Cruiser, Lexus GX, Sequoia and 4Runner. 4runner is the best. Little smaller than sequoia, little less known than the land cruiser, and simpler than GX. Insurance is cheap, Aftermarket parts are cheap, MPG is better.

I got an 06 4x4 white sequoia with 282k miles and drives like a new truck. Original paint also shines like new. Never selling it

I had a Honda Accord; could never get the air to work properly, and the cloth interior struck me as a weak point. I then bought a new Honda Odyssey, lot of problems with it, serious stuff like the tranny and engine. But I liked the high ride position and carrying capacity, so after I dumped it I bought a 2014 Ford Flex. Outstanding vehicle - I now have 126,000 miles on the Flex, and except for having the rear brakes replaced and recent new plugs (which are both maintenance), it has NEVER had a repair. It still has the original front brakes. No rust at all, and drives like the day I bought it (except for an annoying dash rattle). I can't help but think that our domestic brands are underrated . . .

I own a 1997 GMC Savanna 3500 sle with 238k miles, two 1998 Toyota sienna XLE one with 249 k miles and the second one with 435k miles, a 2003 Toyota Sequoia 4wd limited with 260k Miles, a 1995 4runner sr5 with 265 k miles and finally and 2013 Toyota Prius with 170 k miles...all running great and I have taken every single one of them on long roads trips and still going strong!

Not Surprised at all, with Sequoia at number 1. I have a first Gen. 02 that I bought new and have had zero issues. I am at 329/ xxx and still rolling just change that timing belt every 100k and you are good.

I have a Tundra, a Sequoia and a 4runner. Will try to run the 06 Sequoia to 1 mil. Currently at 300k.

Just FYI- I had a 2005 Escalade, 423k! Yes! I loved that vehicle..drove all over USA, pulled a 19' retro camper. Original brakes, highway miles, one driver..no major issues ever, routine maintenance

Toyota Dominating the list! I love it! coming from a die hard Jeep guy, Toyota has earned it!

And I just picked up a 2020 TRD Pro a few weeks ago. Hopefully it lasts a long time.

The key formula is models that share powertrains with multiple models from a brand. Toyota 4.0L, Honda V6s, GM 5.7 (and you should have went back to the 3.8L). Usually N/A is better for longevity. A lot have an issue, but its often known and the fix is either cheap, or once done basic maintenance is all that is needed.

My 2004 Sierra still has the original fuel pump and tranny at 300k. Never had any of those issues you mentioned.

That survey missed quite a few, esp 1st generation Acura MDX and Honda Pilots. Local Honda/Acura dealers typically have several of these on their highest mileage lists. My family has owned 1st gen 4-5 MDX and Pilots since new, all are over 300k miles and one is even close to 500k miles!

I have a Toyota landcruiser. I've owned a tundra, several tacomas, 4runners, landcruisers, even a camry in the past. They are the quintessential vehicle in terms of overall quality - but not the most fun to drive of course (unless you like to go offroad lol). Not sure how many toyotas were on this list (was it 9??) Sheesh!

Nathan is back! Great!

The difference between the number 1 and 20 on the list is around 28%. So not a lot of difference between cars/trucks in the list. Some are very close. It was interesting to have a list for cost of ownership as well.

I agree, and you make a good point about cost of ownership. Those Expeditions may have made the list for staying on the road, but that's not to say it didn't cost a pretty penny at some point to get it there.

Had 2004 Sequoia, sold at 397000 miles with no issue.

Not surprised by results. The Toyotas have few common/shared powertrains that are hyper reliable which is so many are on the list. As an owner of an '04 Land Cruiser with 168k on the odometer, i can testify to the reliability and ease of ownership.

Seriously, Toyota and Lexus are the best. No complaints at all. Thank you very much for the informative and helpful video. 🙏🙏🙏

06 Sequoia is a tank. Have 300 k on a one owner and it is the most reliable car we have ever owned hands down. Rides and sounds like it did in 06. Just keep up with the basic maintenance. Rear door latch is the only issues.

Heck yeah perfect video.

I have a 2012 Hyundai Elantra and have had it almost eleven years and no major issues, has the original AC system and I'm at 260,000 miles and some change. This design is known to by a woman to hit over 1,000,000 miles on her 2013 model and Hyundai gave her a brand new one for free. P. S. I still don't lose any oil between oil changes. It uses 5W30 full synthetic and I change it every 6,000 miles and still no oil sludge in the engine.

I have a 2000 Tundra with the 4.7 and a 2012 Tundra with the 5.7. I love them both and will keep them for many many year until the wheels fall off! Haha

Great list, way to go Toyota. My 2010 venza is just a baby with only 164k I've owned it since new and plan to keep it a lot longer.

Assuming you find one that's a stick or with a rebuilt auto or just accept you'll have to put a new auto in at some point, the 3.2 SOHC V6 in the Isuzu Troopers and rodeos has been super reliable. 3.5 had more power but the simplicity and casualness of the 3.2, they last for a while. I'm not sure who owned my trooper originally and I doubt it was really maintained at all but it's still running good for me now at 286,000 miles. You'll find a lot of these in junkyards with clean body's and interiors and maybe oily engines but it's the auto that gives up on those. If isuzu had put in an asin unit I'm sure these things would still be around in higher numbers.

I’d be curious to see how much of an impact replacement cost plays in a vehicles average longevity. Big SUVs and truck are very expensive (especially right now) to replace so it would make more sense to put in the work and money to keep it on the road. Something like a Corolla or Civic or other compact car might have similar longevity, but are much more likely to be disposed of when issues come up because they cost much less to just replace. Not saying the cars in the list are bad, just curious how the replacement cost might affect how long a vehicle stays on the road.

That’s a good point. If the engine dies on a 10 year old F150 with 150,000 miles, you replace the engine. If the engine dies on your Hyundai Elantra at the same age/miles, you junk the car and get a new one.
