The Top Vehicles That Make It Over 200,000 Miles

No argument from me.... I will say in addition to the 3/4 ton trucks there are LOTS of 1/2 ton trucks that make it to 200K and beyond.

My son is driving a 2000 Silverado (1/2 ton) that is at 302,000 miles. He's done all the scheduled maintenance, replaced 1 muffler, and rebuilt the front end. He says he's going to drive it until it dies, and then drop a new motor and/or tranny in it.

Yeah, right.

Those are in the car list, below the truck list.

Nah, don't believe it. Although I would be interested in how they collected their "information". And since the site mentioned is a car sellers site, and I'm sure they want their company "out there", they may have manufactured a bit of the data.

Yeah, right.

I traded my 97 Suburban at 200,000. It was just getting broken in. :)
No major repairs and very few minor repairs. I changed oil every 5-6000 miles, sometimes 7000.

To me there is a BIG difference between making it to 200K and making it to 200K with very few repairs.

Case in point. I use to own a Mazda. When I sold the thing it had over 250K on it and I put about 50 bucks in repairs in it over the years (An exaggeration for sure but not by much).
I now have an Acura with almost 200K on the clock. Worst car I have ever owned. Something is always going out in it or doesn't work. A lot of design flaws in this car. :M

If someone throws enough money at something you can keep it going for ever.

I want to know the repair bills on these trucks. That is what separates the men from the boys! :B

My old F-150 with the 351 had 225,000 when I got rid of it and still running strong as ever.

Ram Mafia will be chiming in soon...:B

Anyways there's no surprises to this report except for the Dodge Caravan... Really!

When you sell twice as many I would think your odds are better :W
