200,000 mile club

[mazzgolf]

I thought this little bit of trivia was interesting enough to share.

 

Reading the September 2017 issue of Consumer Reports and came across this little tidbit on page 55.

 

Take a look at the top-17 list of vehicles most often reported by subscribers as having reached 200,000 miles or more. See a pattern?

 

1. Toyota Camry
2. Honda Accord
3. Toyota Prius
4. Honda CR-V
5. Toyota Sienna
6. Honda Civic
7. Toyota  Corolla
8. Toyota 4Runner
9. Toyota Highlander
10. Ford F-150
11. Honda Odyssey
12. Toyota Tundra
13. Toyota Avalon
14. Honda Pilot
15. Toyota Tacoma
16. Chevrolet Silverado 1500
17. Toyota RAV4

 

15 out of 17 are either Toyota (10) or Honda (5)! Toyota owns half the list (the rest of the top-20 is: Chevy Suburban, Subaru Outback, and Subaru Forester).

 

And where are all the trucks? I see F-150, Tundra, Tacoma, and Silverado.

My Dakota is a few feet away from 200K.  I think Toyota paid for that list.

Yes, it's a list of automobiles comprised mostly of companies who haven't been crushed by ridiculously high union labor costs.

I have 2 of these vehicles. One is closing in on 200k(avalon) one is 50% there(pilot).  Would really like to see more domestics but I don't think the manufacturers care if the vehicles they make get to 200k and beyond so they don't design them to last maybe Ford does.  It is a different story overseas where people keep their cars a long time and won't buy a vehicle that is not reliable over a long period.  Toyota seems to have figured out how to do it and has a cult following in some countries.

point is, Toyota, Honda are just built better, built to last all others

[CJ3a]

I never owned any on the list and never had a vehicle not make it to 200k. A few of mine went over 300k.

[Buck154]

My dad had a Chevy Van he had over 350,000 miles on when he retired it

[vdep217]

My dodge dakota had 213000 when it died

[Zipper]

My GMC 07 Sierra was traded in with 180,000 miles for 5 grand to buy my 17 Sierra. It still ran good but the bed had rust over wheel wells.

I have a rusty 87 Toyota Pkup that I use on the farm with 250,000 on it. The body is rusted, but the motor is running strong.

The only reason ford f 150 made the list is because there are sooooo damn many of them and the odds caught up with them.

Buy American.

[LPJR]

Sold my 2004 Toyota Matrix last year with 249,000 miles and was only breaking in I think lol. Still ran perfect, zero issues...

[Lunatic]

I am surprised there two American Cars that high on the list. Whenever we get American car its nothing but trouble. The last one my wife is driving is a Charger and with almost 80K miles on it the car is falling apart. My daughter drives a Mitsubishi. We bought it with 75K miles on it as her first car and that was 7 year ago. Not one single thing broke on it yet and the only maintenance we do is oils change every 5K miles. My son had a Honda Civic for his first car and the story was identical.

[Nomad]

Maybe it's the type of people that buy those cars as much as the quality of those cars.

My buddy has a Nissan X-terra.....200,000. Only minor repairs.
