One of the biggest questions that prospective buyers ask at car dealerships is whether or not a car is reliable. We all want to buy a quality product, so this question makes sense.
According to Carpro, about 1% of vehicles are likely to last up to 200,000 miles. A 2020 study predicted these are some of the best bets for vehicles that will last.
1. Toyota Land Cruiser
Get ready to see Toyotas on this list. The Japanese automaker is known for its durable and high-quality vehicles. The Land Cruiser has been on the market for 50 years, providing drivers with excellent off- and on-road capabilities. The vehicle is one of the best in longevity, with 16.3% of the models reaching the 200,000-mile threshold.
2. Toyota Sequoia
Toyota released the Sequoia in 2000, and it has become a favorite among drivers with families. The SUV has third-row seating that can comfortably hold eight passengers and plenty of cargo. With models averaging about $50k, buyers will see an excellent return on their investment. About 11.2% of Sequoias stay on the road for 200k miles.
3. Chevrolet Suburban
It’s hard to believe the Suburban is the oldest SUV produced today, but it’s true. The first model Chevy built was in the 1930s. When you look at the durability of these SUVs, you’ll understand why they’re so popular. About 5.1% of these vehicles will keep you driving up to that 200k mile mark.
4. Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition has been the Suburban’s main competitor for the last 25 years. The large cabin and third-row seating attract drivers who need extra space. The durability is also a great aspect of the vehicle as 4.9% of these hit that goal of 200k miles. Models as low as $50k make this a great deal for a long-hauling vehicle.
5. Toyota 4Runner
Hello again, Toyota. The 4Runner has kept adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts on the road for many years. Now in its fifth generation, the 4Runner is as popular as ever. You’ll find these SUVs of all ages parked at campgrounds and national parks for good reason. Over 4% hit that magic 200k mile mark, meaning you and your friends can keep exploring comfortably.
6. Toyota Camry
Toyota makes more than just great SUVs. They also build some incredible sedans. The Camry is their 4-door sedan that has seen an increase in luxury over the past decade. With a mid $30k price tag, you can drive a car with the comfort of a Lexus and the lifespan of a Toyota. Almost 4% of these models reach the 200k mile mark.
7. Chevrolet Tahoe
The Tahoe is the little brother to the bigger Suburban, but it has everything you could want in a Chevy SUV. One of the most popular SUVs on the road, it has several engine options like the 355 horsepower 5.3-liter and 420 horsepower 6.2-liter V8. This truck will keep you on the road for a long time. Almost 4% of Tahoes reach that magic 200,000.
8. Toyota Highlander Hybrid
This Toyota hybrid SUV will get you to that 200k mile mark while also saving some money. This vehicle features an average fuel economy of 35 miles to the gallon, which is almost unheard of in a vehicle of that size. For about $36,000, you’ll stay comfortable knowing that 3.8% of these cars last at least 200k miles.
9. Toyota Tundra
The full-size Tundra hauls your cargo, tows your boat, and keeps your passengers comfortable, as well as lasting for over 200k miles 3.7% of the time. If you need a powerful truck with the comfort of a luxury car, you could do much worse than a Tundra.
10. GMC Yukon XL
The Yukon XL is the GMC version of the Chevy Suburban. This vehicle will transport and entertain up to eight passengers with a state-of-the-art sound system, USB portals, and video screens. With a 420-horsepower engine and a 3.6% chance of running 200k miles, this rig is a great option for large families or those looking for room to transport their cargo.
11. Honda Ridgeline
Honda has re-vamped their Ridgeline truck. The new model comes standard with all-wheel drive, a broader frame, and a 280-horsepower engine able to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With a thrifty price tag and a history of 3.4% of models gaining 200k miles, this could be one hot truck coming out this year.
12. Honda Odyssey
One of the most common mini-vans on the road in the last 20 years got a makeover. A new 3.5-liter engine cranks out 280 horsepower while providing 28 miles to the gallon. These mini-vans will let you take your kids to practice from tee-ball to high school because they eclipse 200k miles almost 3% of the time.
13. Toyota Tacoma
The Tacoma is one of the most iconic mid-size trucks on the road. These trucks are durable, rugged, and powerful. They also keep their value for the long run. They invented the mid-size truck genre, and other companies have been trying to keep up. There’s a reason you still see so many older models on the road. About 2.8% of Tacomas live to see 200k miles.
14. Lincoln Navigator
The full-size Navigator is one of the most luxurious, elegant SUVs you can buy. Ford has rolled out a quality product for four generations with Navigators, and it looks like they’re still going strong. For a price starting at $60k, you can own one of these fancy SUVs. It also helps to know that 2.5% of Navigators will survive 200k miles.
15. Toyota Prius
One of the original hybrid options in the United States, the Prius is still a widely popular EV option. Fuel efficiency can reach as high as 58 miles per gallon range, helping owners reach that 200k mile goal on a much cheaper budget. Once again, it’s clear that Toyota knows how to make reliable, durable vehicles.
