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...

Most of the Dodge pickups are in the junkyard long before they could even get close to 200,000 miles due to massive RUST and/or major mechanical issues!
There have been many articles printed in respected national/website/publications as to the percentages of still REGISTERED to drive vehicle models in the 50 US States and Canada for years now. IT uses only the the states vehicle registration data for it's reports. Dodge pickups nor any other Chrysler Corp vehicles have ever been in the top 10! This is the PERCENTAGE of vehicles per model sold and still on the road and has nothing to do with sales volume numbers. Obviously, no pro Dodge, Chrysler will re-print the actual documented statistics but Cummins will that their engines last but never mention the truck they are in, just the engine! The engine is only one part of a total vehicle! Not much good if the vehicle it's in is in the junkyard!
The top 10 have always been very similar to the listing on this thread for the last 15+ years now. Some of the manufacturer's even have the % data re-printed on their brochures and have for many years.
