Interesting Article came into my inbox so sharing.
Which vehicles are the most likely to reach 250k miles.
Its all Trucks at the top.
I think interesting if you are looking at long term ownership or buying used.

F350 ranked highest followed by Tundra and Land Cruiser tied for second.
Sequoia, Tacoma, 4Runner round out the top ten.

Toyota 4Runner: ..................41% chance of making it
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD:.41.3%
GMC Sierra 2500HD:.............41.3%

Honda Pilot:.........................42.7%
Ford F-250 Super Duty:.........43.6%
Toyota Sequoia:....................47.1%
Toyota Tundra:......................47.9%
Toyota Land Cruiser:..............47.9%

Whoever did this study must be on the take from Ford! Toyota is by far the most-likely to reach 250k miles, even non-Toyota fans have to admit it.

Sure, an F350 will hit a quarter million miles, but you're gonna spend a small fortune getting it there. Diesel pickups are great for what they are, but a lot of expensive maintenance comes along with it.

And I'm no Ford diesel expert, but they've had their share of problems over the years...

Yes, without a cost of maintenance and repair over its life (which is a more important to me) it's hard to glean too much from these.

 

If Joe Rogan says Toyotas run forever, then it must be true!

Just the trucks from the list.
Can someone explain why the more upscale GMC 1/2 ton could be rated lower than the Silverado?
Also the new RAM 1500 has the highest consumer rating for reliability - for new trucks.
But it scores really low here.

296k & counting on my '04 titan with basic maintenence.

 

I've got an '04 Titan 4x4 (purchased brand new Jan. '05) that only has 125k miles...guess I've got a ways to go, eh?

All I've done to the truck is typical maintenance: fluids, brakes, tires, cleaning, etc. Replaced a couple of power window motors, the tailpipe, and bypassed the in-radiator trans cooler (added axillary one).

Not bad for almost 19 years!

Mine did get a new axle in '07 or so, some sort of recall. I keep waiting for it to die, and it just wont.

 

I had a 2005 F-350. It had constant engine troubles and cost me over $5k after warranty and it still was not right. It would cost a fortune to keep that truck going to 250k miles.

I traded it in on a Tundra back in 2010 and have had zero truck issues since.

 

I didn't think a F350 owner would consider a 1/2 ton Tundra (payload and the way truck is used) unless your needs changed ?

 

We got a lighter camper.
