I drive a 2003 Lexus GX 470. Bought it in 2005 with 28,000 miles on it. Today I have 184,000 miles and it runs great and still looks great. Very little maintenance over the years, mostly regular service. The great thing is No Payments, Lower License Fees and Great Reliability.
Absolutely that engine will never die as long as you do regular maintenance just so well built. I have a forerunner and two of my friends have forerunners. I bought a forerunner because my friend has one with 620,000 miles give or take a few hundred miles. He’s always traveling around has went everywhere pretty much hit every trail in the Northwest every desert in the southwest almost no rust just some scratches and a few dings from rocks and the occasional parking lot door. Ding. It’s really safe to buy used one with 200,000 miles. You can pick them up pretty cheap you’re gonna probably get 200,000 more just do the maintenance that’s all you have to do.
In the Nordic countries you can't buy such a car. Gas and diesel prices 2 euro/litre, about 7.5 USD/gallon, yearly roadtaxes maybe over 2,000 USD/year. Toyota doesn't even try to sell them! RAV4 and Toyota HiLux are the biggest Toyota sold in the Nordic countries, maybe they sell 10-20 Landcruisers, too.
I have a 2018 RAV4 with 159,000 miles , only thing I done to it is new plugs , new brakes , flush radiator and change oil every 5k miles. Though the miles are mostly highway miles as I travel back and forth to work every weekend.
I have a 2015 Mazda CX 5. It has 10:51 112,000 miles on it, I had a new serpentine belt and Idler pulley put on at 100,000 now getting a water pump , thermostat and coolant flush. These have timeing chains . Soon will get transmission fluid and filter change and I change oil and engine filter every 5,000 miles. I bought it with 70,000 on it 4 years ago , i hope to have it for a lot more years. Im 70 and i don't need a turbo , car has plenty of power for me. 2.5 Grand touring nice car
I'm sold on Toyota! I've been a Ford owner for over 50 years. My newest car is a low miles 2017 4Runner Limited and I absolutely am in love with my SUV! I've already put new wheels/tires and a Pro Foam Suspension lift kit by Ironman 4x4 for starters. I also have a new AFN laser cut/welded front bumper from Portugal that I'm installing next month. As much as I've loved Fords (my 1st car was a 64 T-Bird convertible when I turned 17), I wanted a more reliable car and had not considered Toyota until now. Better late than never! 😉😁👍
I have a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring with 26,000 miles and I love it. So far it's been very reliable. My wife drives it most of the time, but my next vehicle for me to drive is gonna be a 4runner.
The Toyota 3.5 liter V6 is the bomb. I owned a Highlander for 8 years and drove over 200k miles. Total repairs cost was $300. Cost per mile when you include everything, (gas, oil, insurance,lic, repairs, tax, purchase price-sales price) was .34 per mile.
@@dootdoot1867 I am sure sometime in the 8 years I owned the Highlander I spent $200 on a battery. But that is maintenance, not repair. Just like I spent money on oil changes and tires. The $300 was something that broke. It was specifically the tire pressure monitors, (1 broke, so I replaced all 4, and a gasket on the sunroof.
I purchased a regular ICE 2022 RAV4 XLE. The start/stop feature drove me crazy. After 4 weeks, I traded it for a 2022 RAV4 XLE Hybrid. The hybrid comes out of the hole quicker, the start/stop feature is much better integrated, and I go over 100 more miles between fill-ups.
Sir, an episode I would like to see is: What cars resist corrosion from road salt the best and what are the best underbody treatments to protect from salt. It doesn't snow where I am but I think it would make a good episode.
Absolutely Had 5 cars in 63 yrs 2 from Atlanta and Despite through Tuff coat or Zeibart within 3/4 they rusted out. The worst was a Mazda GLC,/Mercury Tracer wagon ( Ford Escort).
I have an 09 Hyundai Sonata. I have 230k OG miles I'm the original owner. All I do is keep up with maintenance. Drives better than the day I bought it.
Spot on, Mark. Toyota products/Lexus and the entire Toyota line. Honda and Mazda, too. 2024 is the last year of the naturally aspirated Toyotas, and the turbo 4cyl are the replacement, but if history of the brand and reliability remains true, the company's long time expertise in hybrids and EV should have no substantial downside unlike Ford and GM.
GM and Ford turbo engines are actually pretty good now. Toyota will work through issues quickly. The 2.4t has been out for several years now. Toyota had a 2.0t in some Lexus models and it was reliable.
@@ECPPYeah, I switched from Honda to Subaru because Honda Motor company that made the most reliable engines in the world for 40 years dropped the ball and Subaru fixed their head gasket and oil leak problems. Toyota still making rattle traps at $38,000. Subies CVT now going as much as 300,000 miles if you change the fluid every 50,000. Nothing like driving a Subaru with their low slung engines and real all time all wheel. A used Subie vs used Toyota, I would gamble on Toyota. The reason being that Subaru requires perfect maintenance while Toyota doesn't. I really like Mazda for their drive trains and sportiness but the CX5 I test drove lacked handling feel, driver seat comfort, real usable cargo compared to the 2022 Forester Touring that I purchased. Like I said, the 2022 Rav4 I test drove rattled like a 1961 Ford Falcon Wagon. I'm old, I got to have quiet, comfort, top safety and top handling. 25,000 on my Forester Touring and still makes me smile every time I drive it.
@@tracy2762 You can find it on the internet. Honda engineers got this bright idea to only cross hatch the very top and bottom portions of the cylinder walls to create less blow-by. They not only did it to the turbo blocks but did it to the non turbo of same dimension blocks to save money. Then they went on to lying to customers about the oil consumption. They brought the cars in and changed the software settings to slightly lower boost. Just 3 months later the cars were consuming oil again. It's one thing to screw up an engine design, yet another to lie to customers as if they were Ford. One thing about Toyota is they admit to their screw ups and take care of their customers.
I have a 2019 Nissan Murano with almost 63K. No problems whatsoever in almost 4 years of ownership. Change transmission fluid every 35-40K and bought an extended warranty just in case. Change oil every 3,000 with full synthetic. Hoping to get to 250K.👍 No direct injection or turbocharged engine just a port injection V6.
I have a Murano 2006 whit 290K so far no problem still going strong I have never change transmission fluid n I'll never do it I don't care what dealer said, engine oil change just synthetic around 8000k no more than that all this info is in kilometer good luck whit ur Murano.
Can't speak to the Nissan drive train cause I've never owned one. Your asking for trouble changing the trans fluid that often. Do some research. Unless your towing or overworking the Trans there is no reason to do so. I typically run my vehicles upwards of 300k miles and rarely flush and change it out before 100k. Never had a single Trans issue in 60 years of driving.
@@JohnJohn-wr1jo I'm just draining whatever comes out and putting the exact amount of new fluid back in. Just a drain and fill. That way if it ever fails I can show the extended warranty company the proper maintenance was done.
I change my transmission fluid every 45k. This is what my Chevy maintenance book requires. I believe the Chevy engineers know more than I do. I believe most car owners never change this fluid. The same goes for brake fluid at around 40k.
They did a complete redesign on the Honda CR'V. So I wouldn't put it as reliable yet. The older ones with the older designs yes they have one of the top CVT transmissions..They got rid of the reliable 1.8 and went towards a 1.5 . They were mixed for a while.
Everything you say is true 100% and we need to know which years are most reliable before i buy a car i watch your videos at least thrice before i take decision
any model year of 4 runner. It is build for last long and seemingly it's doesn't change much about engine, it built for stay last long, the next change will be 2025 with 4 cylinder and turbo. I won't take its model year. 2024 or older model years are far better, if you don't mind about mpg. Guaranteed first 15 year ( if you buy 2024) you just need change oil regular, brake and fill up gas to go.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord with the 1.5 engine and the only problem I had so far with it is the ac blowing hot air. I know about the oil dilution that was plaguing civics and CRV’s from 2016-2018. I recently checked my oil level and on the dipstick it was still good and I didn’t smell any gas on it. I like to get my oil changed every 5,000 miles or so and I also make sure to drive the car nicely at first to let it warm up. If I keep doing these things, the accord could last a long time. P.S. I saw a couple 2019 accords with the 1.5 with over 300k!!!
@@mikefoehr235 well I always like to let it idle for a few minutes to put the defroster when it’s cold on, and when it’s warmer I’ll let it sit for about 30 seconds and then I’ll go.

@@lthai1000 I should be getting that recall done at some point this fall I believe is when Honda said the parts will be available. So far no issues with that.
I'm by no means a car expert, but I would say a Honda, Toyota, or Mazda. Especially whichever is a hybrid. A family member has a Honda hybrid SUV and rarely puts gas in it while city driving.
Can't wait for this guy to review 1) the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, and 2) the 2025 Toyota Camry. I believe both models will be available for sale starting in the summer of 2024.
I bought a 2020 Mercedes S450 - beautiful car with lots of little issues. Dealer told me both rear rims were cracked with just 20,000 miles. Traded it in asap on a RAM 1500
20000 is pretty good for a Mercedes. My s550 was shit by 20k and I sold for 5k just to stop the bleeding. In a ls450 lexus again and I will not look back
Marc, you talk about reliability... I read a week ago about the heavy truck manufacturer, Swedish Scania. They cooperate with the Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt which is "new". Scania will only buy batteries that last 1.5 million km/ 1 million miles! Tests have shown that that is no problem (with today's technology!)! I think that heavy truck batteries always will be fast charged... So if the car batteries don't last that long , they have made them last shorter! Designed them to last shorter, or even much shorter. For the Chinese car Nio with exchangeable batteries it's important that the batteries last as long as possible, as they own the batteries... If the idea of exchanging batteries survive. An interesting situation, indeed.
My Chevy trailblazer 2008 is as good as the day i bought it. Oil change every 5000 i do myself and use synthetic. 1.4 million miles. Cat change twice and throttle bodies clean every 5 k
The ecvt in the Toyota RAV4 and other Toyotas is the most reliable. Not the 8 speed!! And the hybrid in general is more reliable and lower maintenance costs than a standard Toyota
Toyota base models still come with hubcapped wheels. Wiring under the hood is thin with flimsy connectors...the kind you see in a dollar store. All of these care now have more and more plastic and rubber and less and less metal. Yet, the price has never been higher. Some people are easily satisfied.
I've ownd a Rav 4, most relaible car ever! My Toyota prius I currently own has 145,000 miles still going strong. Looking to buy a smaller suv cuz currently drive a 2016 Tahoe w my kids all growing up no one wants to go anywhere anymore
@@ECPP Timing belt not chain. Who cares? Have one put in every 100K, that's an issue? Regardless, millions lasting longer than most of these others, it should be on the list. You're using recency bias. It's your channel but I still think it's a huge miss.
Minus a Nissan/Infiniti with the ECM, BCM, IPDM, Transponder and immobilizer issues. Not to mention the jatco transmissions. Honda has turned to junk too with their crank seal issues and alternator and caliper problems. Not to mention all the slipping in the modern rav4 transmissions.
I was going to buy a new Land Cruiser instead of the Bronco, but now Toyota has major issues with the new Tundra and Tacomas. So who knows if the Land Cruiser will also have major problems???
We don't buy big Toyotas for the mpgs. We buy them because of the savings in the reliability department. We keep them for 15 to 25 years. That's where the savings comes into play.
Having a reliable vehicle is important, but let's face it, how many people would keep a vehicle long enough to put a million miles on it anyway? Fleet owners, maybe? Ranch owner? But most people get much more than a couple hundred thousand miles (if that), a mess of dings, scratches, faded paint, a decade of driving the same vehicle, and they are ready to move on.
Doesn't mean that the vehicle needs to be scrapped. A reliable vehicle that is well maintained should also depreciate less, so if the owner wants something newer or different, it is easy to trade up.
I guessed they never switched out the 5 speed. I thought it may be different for the new ones. They changed all the other Toyota's engines and transmissions.
It's irritating when they leave out the year of auto they're talking about. Even the best manufacture periodically will roll out a crap auto. PLEASE GIVE US THE YEAR OF AUTO YOU'RE CRITIQUING! Along with best years and worst years. Thank you!

I just got a 2018 toyota Highlander At 148k miles , did I make a bad choice ?. Worried that I don’t see it on this list
Great video. Thank you!
A 1.5 litre turbo reliable? Not in my books.
the4runner taillights i think they are oem not aftermarket
ONE CAR OWNER SAID WHEN YOU GO OUT TRAVELING IN A RANGE ROVER YOUR RETURN BACK IN A TOYOTA FROM YOUR DESTINATION OMG NO CAPPING
What’s the best suv for fuel effeciency and reliability
I'm by no means a car expert, but I would say a Honda, Toyota, or Mazda. Especially whichever is a hybrid. A family member has a Honda hybrid SUV and rarely puts gas in it while city driving.
Can't wait for this guy to review 1) the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, and 2) the 2025 Toyota Camry. I believe both models will be available for sale starting in the summer of 2024.
I like your style. Good work.
I appreciate that!
What is the turbo failure rate on these gas engines? What is the average cost of replacement?
4 runner your right but rav4 hybrid not good, cable hybrid problem , cost me 6k to change after a trent for a 4 runner,
I bought a 2020 Mercedes S450 - beautiful car with lots of little issues. Dealer told me both rear rims were cracked with just 20,000 miles. Traded it in asap on a RAM 1500
20000 is pretty good for a Mercedes. My s550 was shit by 20k and I sold for 5k just to stop the bleeding. In a ls450 lexus again and I will not look back
I would've swapped the Rav4 with the GX460 :)
Thanks.
Did you lention the year for these models?
The rule says the more the car and the engin are simple the more they last forever with right maintenance of cours
You just made a video talking about how Hondas quality has dropped and you specifically point out the honda crv 1.5 litre engine. So which is it?
I've read that the 1.5 ltr is overstressed and won't last. Best to stick with the larger 2.4 ltr engine.
I have a 19 nissan murano with 47+k miles rock solid no problems at all ❤❤❤❤
How often should I change my Sequoia oil then?
I had my mazda3 for 10 years, before trading it in for a mazda cx5 preferred
Awesome cars
@@ECPP I agree 👍
Marc, you talk about reliability...
I read a week ago about the heavy truck manufacturer, Swedish Scania. They cooperate with the Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt which is "new".
Scania will only buy batteries that last 1.5 million km/ 1 million miles! Tests have shown that that is no problem (with today's technology!)!
I think that heavy truck batteries always will be fast charged...
So if the car batteries don't last that long , they have made them last shorter! Designed them to last shorter, or even much shorter. For the Chinese car Nio with exchangeable batteries it's important that the batteries last as long as possible, as they own the batteries... If the idea of exchanging batteries survive.
An interesting situation, indeed.
Hi Mark,
Is the Subaru Forester reliable
More or less yes. If driven easily and maintained they can go a long time. Some oil burning though
No
I have had two of them, not as good as 4 runner. But good for the price.
I am planning to buy my first vehicle and my contenders are: 2016 Toyota Rav4, 2016 Honda Pilot or 2016 Kia Sorento, any recommendations 🤔
On this navy I would go Ho da Pilot
@ECPP thanks, everyone. I have asked have said the same.
Love the Rav 4
Work horse
What about rav4 hybrid
2.5L 4-Cyl. Hybrid Engine with All-Wheel Drive
Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT)
Great setup
It would be nice if you shared the model year.
THESE SUVS HE ARE SHOWING ABOUT DEPENABLE WOULD MAKE THE ROYAL FAMILY VERY THANKFUL OMG
My Chevy trailblazer 2008 is as good as the day i bought it. Oil change every 5000 i do myself and use synthetic. 1.4 million miles. Cat change twice and throttle bodies clean every 5 k
A little maintenance goes a little g way
My 2006 explorer 4.6 200k no problems. Last of the body on chassis. EZ to work on. New explorer models are garbage. Great video
Awesome details. Gracias señor 🙏🏾
For reliable luxury, the Lexus GX460.
For sure
The ecvt in the Toyota RAV4 and other Toyotas is the most reliable. Not the 8 speed!! And the hybrid in general is more reliable and lower maintenance costs than a standard Toyota
Not true.
Any suggestions on plugin hybrids such as rav4 , outlander
RAV4-Primes are made in Japan🇯🇵👍
I have a tale of two cities- a 4Runner and a Jeep wrangler. Luckily, my Jeep has been running like a winner, so far!
Life is too short to drive boring cars 👍
Sad part, they still use a "TIMING BELT"
I go with hybrid instead of turbo
Cheers
Marke 🇨🇦 Mark , thank you for your analysis on these vehicles!
Question on a 2020 BMW X2 used 29 k miles Thxs Amigo
Not bad. I like the way they drive and the newer generation of engines is much better so to me it’s worth the gamble.
@@ECPP Thank you for your answer ✌️
I think it's wild that people are making mention of cars lastinh 40-60k miles and think it's notable to mention their car is still running strong.
40 to 60,000 miles are still New 😂 let's talk 200.000 +
Toyota base models still come with hubcapped wheels. Wiring under the hood is thin with flimsy connectors...the kind you see in a dollar store. All of these care now have more and more plastic and rubber and less and less metal. Yet, the price has never been higher. Some people are easily satisfied.
4 runner is called Prado in Australia and is number 1 in sales.
I like your comparison from Arizona
I've seen a 2019 Toyota rav4 hybrid with 420,000 miles on the clock already. Just tires and oil changes
Really? 100,000 miles per year
@@ECPP yes they drive for work delivering medical stuff. Also has a rav4 for personal use
I've ownd a Rav 4, most relaible car ever! My Toyota prius I currently own has 145,000 miles still going strong. Looking to buy a smaller suv cuz currently drive a 2016 Tahoe w my kids all growing up no one wants to go anywhere anymore
You didn't have the Honda Pilot? Likely the second longest lasting out of these only to the Sequoia. The Honda 3.5 V6 is a work of engineering art.
Solid unit but it needs timing chains and now this crankshaft issue put a stain on the reputation
@@ECPP Timing belt not chain. Who cares? Have one put in every 100K, that's an issue? Regardless, millions lasting longer than most of these others, it should be on the list. You're using recency bias. It's your channel but I still think it's a huge miss.
I like Toyota cars but what I don't like about some of the Toyota cars is where they place their spair tye
Cheers
Minus a Nissan/Infiniti with the ECM, BCM, IPDM, Transponder and immobilizer issues. Not to mention the jatco transmissions.
Honda has turned to junk too with their crank seal issues and alternator and caliper problems.
Not to mention all the slipping in the modern rav4 transmissions.
I love my Sequoia land yacht, didn’t buy it for fuel economy!!!
Great video you mentioned mazda cx5 (recommend) is the cx50 as reliable please respond.
Stay away from CVT and GDI if possible.
I was going to buy a new Land Cruiser instead of the Bronco, but now Toyota has major issues with the new Tundra and Tacomas. So who knows if the Land Cruiser will also have major problems???
In the market to buy a Lexus NX 300 2020-2021, is this car bound to last forever like all other Lexus and Toyota cars
We don't buy big Toyotas for the mpgs. We buy them because of the savings in the reliability department. We keep them for 15 to 25 years. That's where the savings comes into play.
Was excited to realize its mostly crossover with 2x toyota suv😢
Which years are we speaking of ?
Isn’t that A25A-FKS the same engine as in your Camry, Mark?
what about the Toyota corolla cross?
Reliable
I remember reading on a most reliable car in the world, in the whole wide world was the little Honda Jazz ir un Japan the Honda Fit... Bulletproof...
I have a 2019 toyota RAV4 and the transmission is already dead at 50,000 miles
Also check the Infiniti QX56/QX80 500 k easy no sweat with no problems
Thanks for sharing
turning him off, fails to disclose year, model on a couple units. what is the market values. appreciate the effort, need more info besides roof racks.
Thanks fornwatching
Toyota and Lexus go on forever.
Yes
Having a reliable vehicle is important, but let's face it, how many people would keep a vehicle long enough to put a million miles on it anyway? Fleet owners, maybe? Ranch owner? But most people get much more than a couple hundred thousand miles (if that), a mess of dings, scratches, faded paint, a decade of driving the same vehicle, and they are ready to move on.
Doesn't mean that the vehicle needs to be scrapped. A reliable vehicle that is well maintained should also depreciate less, so if the owner wants something newer or different, it is easy to trade up.
I guessed they never switched out the 5 speed. I thought it may be different for the new ones. They changed all the other Toyota's engines and transmissions.
7.5 sec for a 4Runner is quite quick .
No dog
Toyota HiLuX for the win🏆, like those used in the Middle East 😊👍
