I do not agree with some of the choices but 4runner came in 3rd.

The Top Vehicles That Make It Over 200,000 Miles - What Cars Last 200,000 Miles

I mean pretty good for the 4runner since the two spots preceding it also offer diesels. Also, for the Chevy and Ford spots, it's not like those are 200k trouble-free miles, right? Most American SUVs depreciate like crazy but are cheaper to repair than foreign cars, so perhaps there's a function of people willing to buy a z71 Tahoe with 150k miles on it for $7k and make $3k-$4k in transmission and engine repairs/rebuilds that extend the life of the vehicle past the 200k mile mark? I just threw the numbers out there to make an example.

There are no choices in the list, it's just data analyzed from a 12mil vehicle sample.

Work trucks/suvs are going to naturally bubble to the top for several reasons. I've owned many Chevy trucks and several Toyota trucks. Nothing wrong with Chevy (they have made huge progress)... I can't really pick one as better than the other myself. Each has strengths and weaknesses, but Toyota has always been good. The others have continued to get much better. I feel a bit like Toyota is being left behind recently though. Still reliable and adequate, just lacking in other ways, like power and efficiency. Toyota obviously does not even offer a true heavy duty truck.... If they did, it might very well be at the top.

Do the Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon XL and GMC Yukon really warrant 4 spots? (In a top 10 list, no less?) Not to mention the Sierra and Silverado are the same dog in this fight.

moved to proper sub forum. This involves all 4Runners.

Any way you slice it that's a pretty impressive accolade for the T4R IMO

I believe it's the only mid-sized SUV on the top ten list - I see no Durango, no Explorer, no Grand Cherokee, no Pathfinder, no Pilot, no nothing - just the T4R!

Having just been in the market for a used 4th gen recently I can say that most of the 4th gens in my area that were for sale had well in excess of 100,000 miles with several well over 200,000 miles. The one I got had 104,000 miles on it so I find this news to be very reassuring (but not surprising).

Meh... 200k shouldn't be hard for any car to hit as long as they have basic maintenance done to them. 300k and 400k are much bigger milestone to hit and most people today don't keep vehicles around long enough for them to hit those numbers.
