With more Americans keeping their vehicles longer these days, we thought this study might be of interest. It's an iSeeCars' analysis of the 30 longest-lasting cars, trucks and SUVs expected to last 250,000 miles or more. The vehicles on the list have up to a 36 percent chance of reaching a quarter million miles. Compare this to the average vehicle that has an 8.6 percent chance of lasting 250K miles or more.
Toyota is the longest-lasting brand in the iSeeCars analysis with Toyota models taking up the Top 5 spots. The Tundra is the number one longest-lasting vehicle, followed by Sequoia, 4Runner, Tacoma, and Highlander Hybrid. Honda comes in as the second longest-lasting brand with six models in the top 30. The highest ranked vehicles, Toyota’s Tundra and Sequoia, are four times more likely to reach a quarter-million miles, while the Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Highlander Hybrid, and Honda Ridgeline are three times more likely to reach 250,000 miles compared to the average vehicle.
