F-150 only American vehicle likely to reach 200,000 miles.

Six Toyotas, three Hondas and one Ford...the F-150, comprise the eight cars and two trucks that were deemed most likely to achieve 200,000 miles of on road service by Consumer Reports.

A ford engine out doing a cummins?

I'm going to have to think about that one

I've been seeing a lot of commercials lately that Chevy is the best this, that and the other thing, winning all these awards. Were they mentioned at all? I've always been Ford/Toyota, myself.

I have 250k on mine.

It doesn't sound very scientific for Consumer Reports.

Just about any car will last 200k miles if maintained properly, assuming that it is not involved in a significant accident. Rust is the car equivalent of cancer, and I suspect it is responsible for a lot of cars. being junked, while the rest of the car might be worth saving.

The older a car is, the more likely it will be owned by someone who is impecunious and unwilling to keep up with the maintenance.

USed car prices are almost as out of control as home prices.....

 

[hjmick]

You mean cars with American company nameplates. Many of those Hondas and Toyotas are built in U.S. factories...

I have over 250,000 on a Malibu. Never had a single problem but a couple brake jobs.

How many yrs have you owned it?

It's a 2006. I bought it used in 2010. Will give it up this summer. Looks like hell now, but it is the best car I ever owned.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

I've had two cars last to over 200,000 miles, and one to about 191,000—all three of them Fords.

Nope, no Chevys.

I owned a nice Toyota once...a '77 Celica with an R-22 engine. The only Japanese car I'd buy again. The wife has a Mazda masquerading as a Ford Probe. But I've had all F-150s except one redheaded stepchild Chevy Cheyenne...but none from the 21st century. My '89 XLT heavy half has way over 200k on it. I've hated it the most with it's electronic fuel injected 302 and AODE overdrive transmission...but I can't fault her for outlasting most of her peers.

Nobody beats Toyota reliability.

I see what you're saying...but if you asked a thousand people to name American cars 99% would understand that to mean the big three...GM, Ford and Chrysler.

Hard to argue with that.

Back in the day, we only ever bought Toyota beaters. $350, $450 got an additional 300,000 miles each before they died. I used to swear that the doors would fall off as the engine was still running.

I never buy used vehicles because the interest rate is stupid high. I can buy a new truck for 0% or .9% financing.

It's called greedy opportunism. Most working class Americans can't afford a new car.

My Jeep Cherokee Sport got 225K miles before I had to replace the engine.

Now its at 250K miles. Should make it to 500K miles.

Take care of it and it will take care of you.

My dad was a Joe Chrysler guy.

I have always been a Jeep guy.
