@@alansach8437 hey. Don’t shoot the messenger. If you don’t believe me, just watch Scotty Kilmer. He says the same thing and he has 50+ years of mechanic experience.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 😉😁👍
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.
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.
Ford ranger xlt 1996 w/ 1.3 million miles.. Sold it at 90,000 after odometer rolled.. lady I sold it to put on the rest, haven't talked to her in the last 6 months or so but it's still running
@@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 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.

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.
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.
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.
General Motors 2.0L engines from the 1990s. General Motors 2.2L engines from the 1990s. General motors 3.1 and 3.4 and 3.8 engines, from the 1990s. Those are the most reliable engines that immediately come to mind when I think of reliable engines.
I don't believe in the foreign brands. I had a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity. It was 12 years old when I purchased it. Got a good 13 years out of it. Drive train outlasted the body.
@@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.
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.
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
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'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.
Here (in the Nordic countries) dealers say "we have a good maintained BMW with 160,000 km/100,000 miles" that means that the oil has been changed between 25 and 30,000 km/every 16-18,000 miles, without exception... Instead of changing oil in the automatic 6 or 8 speed gearbox, most people drive till it fails...and are then highly surprised of the short "lifetime" and the high cost to repair it... 🥺 Maybe it depends on the fact that a few people nowadays work with machineries that need maintenance almost every day, and they don't understand that the manufacturer want to sell you a new car after maximum 5-7 years or no more than 100,000 miles...
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
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???
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.
I have a 1999 Lexus ES 300 w 415,000 miles! EVERYTHING WORKS. AC is still ice cold 🥶

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.
For reliable luxury, the Lexus GX460.
For sure
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 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 +
I have a tale of two cities- a 4Runner and a Jeep wrangler. Luckily, my Jeep has been running like a winner, so far!
I would've swapped the Rav4 with the GX460 :)
Thanks.
Not sure about the Honda. The oil dilution has been improved but not fixed. As far as I know. Not sure how long that engine will go. We will see.
We will see, yes not out of the woods yet, although getting. Better
THESE SUVS HE ARE SHOWING ABOUT DEPENABLE WOULD MAKE THE ROYAL FAMILY VERY THANKFUL OMG
The rule says the more the car and the engin are simple the more they last forever with right maintenance of cours
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
I had my mazda3 for 10 years, before trading it in for a mazda cx5 preferred
Awesome cars
@@ECPP I agree 👍
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.
Lexus all the 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
Love watching your videos. What is your thoughts on 2020 BMW 30d x6 ? Thanks in advance
Weldone Sir,is 2008 Toyota Corolla ce a good car to buy used?
It's good
Toyota and Lexus go on forever.
Yes
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.
Hey Mark, This Review's Absolutely OnPoint 💯🙏
Thank you very much Don, I really appreciate that. Hope your week is going well.
General Motors 2.0L engines from the 1990s. General Motors 2.2L engines from the 1990s. General motors 3.1 and 3.4 and 3.8 engines, from the 1990s. Those are the most reliable engines that immediately come to mind when I think of reliable engines.
I don't believe in the foreign brands. I had a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity. It was 12 years old when I purchased it. Got a good 13 years out of it. Drive train outlasted the body.
Love the Rav 4
Work horse
What is the oldest year would you go back to on the RAV4 and CRV and CX-5 please?
My 2014 CRV Touring is awesome
The 2019 keeps popping up as a year to avoid in both the Highlander & the RAV4
I go with hybrid instead of turbo
Cheers
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.
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.
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
Life is too short to drive boring cars 👍
Great video. Thank you!
A 1.5 litre turbo reliable? Not in my books.
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 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...
Was excited to realize its mostly crossover with 2x toyota suv😢
I like your style. Good work.
I appreciate that!
You nailed this video Mark..cheers!
What is the turbo failure rate on these gas engines? What is the average cost of replacement?
7.5 sec for a 4Runner is quite quick .
No dog
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.
Sad part, they still use a "TIMING BELT"
the4runner taillights i think they are oem not aftermarket
Buy a NISSAN ARMADA! Body on frame, V8, load leveling suspension, just enough tech! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love my Sequoia land yacht, didn’t buy it for fuel economy!!!
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.
4 runner is called Prado in Australia and is number 1 in sales.
yes 4runner forever
How often should I change my Sequoia oil then?
Stay away from CVT and GDI if possible.
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
Did you lention the year for these models?
4 runner your right but rav4 hybrid not good, cable hybrid problem , cost me 6k to change after a trent for a 4 runner,
Change oil in every car last forever
Here (in the Nordic countries) dealers say "we have a good maintained BMW with 160,000 km/100,000 miles" that means that the oil has been changed between 25 and 30,000 km/every 16-18,000 miles, without exception...
Instead of changing oil in the automatic 6 or 8 speed gearbox, most people drive till it fails...and are then highly surprised of the short "lifetime" and the high cost to repair it... 🥺
Maybe it depends on the fact that a few people nowadays work with machineries that need maintenance almost every day, and they don't understand that the manufacturer want to sell you a new car after maximum 5-7 years or no more than 100,000 miles...
Subaru Outback is a great car. Subaru make great cars also
Well…..
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.
It would be nice if you shared the model year.
Toyota HiLuX for the win🏆, like those used in the Middle East 😊👍
I have a 4Runner and my wife has a RAV4, I guess we wont need a new vehicle for a decade.
Got myself a Honda 2017 CR-V no problem
BMW is more reliable than mazda? okay 😂😂😂
Look it up, stop hating on the brand just because it’s mainstream to do
LOL, no way is bmw more reliable than Mazda from experience
Yeah no way not hating looking at the numbers. Not to mention parts for a BMW when they do mess up is higher also.
DON'T QUIT PLEASE
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.
What about rav4 hybrid
2.5L 4-Cyl. Hybrid Engine with All-Wheel Drive
Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT)
Great setup
well since I am very economy-minded
these 4 liter and more SUV's are really out of my league
Not surprisingly, GM, Ford, Jeep and Jaguar/Land Rover are nowhere to be found in this lineup.
Exactly, that’s no accident
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???
Toyota Tundra recall takes the wind out of Toyota peoples sails.
Yes it really does
I like Toyota cars but what I don't like about some of the Toyota cars is where they place their spair tye
Cheers
I like your comparison from Arizona
Nissan Patrol/Armada/INFINITI QX80….5.6 V8. Bomb proof.
Thanks for sharing
Nissan is partly owned by the French government. Most Nissan sold in North America is built in Mexico. Quality is sub par.
@@ericle7299 my Infiniti QX80 bought in the states was made in Kyushu,Japan.
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
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.
