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.
Overall, SUVs take up 16 slots on the list, while 8 slots go to pickups and four to sedans.
