Longest lasting vehicles on the road
Here is a link to survey data from USA Today for the percentage of vehicle types with over 200,000 miles on them. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/02/23/long-lasting-200000-miles/57047...

Should be no surprise. Ford sells more, so there should be more on the road.
Same with Chevrolets, and GMC. Lots more Chevrolet trucks sold than GMC trucks, So there should be more of them running as well.
Those numbers are not based on the total number of vehicles on the list. It is a percentage of the total vehicles of that particular model sold. If they stated numbers like 100,000 units instead of a percentage, your assessment would be correct, but in this case it is not.
I drive a Ford, my wife drives a Jeep Wrangler and we also own a Toyota 4Runner, but I get a little less blinded by brand loyalty as I get older. I still couldn't help but laugh when I saw that Dodge/Ram was absent from the list. Not that I was bagging on the brand, but it made me think that maybe it is true that the only thing Dodge owners run is their mouth! They need to get off the forums and drive their trucks!;)
