Just ordered the Subaru Crosstrek Premium with the six-speed. I have had great luck with Nissan Frontiers and the earlier generation trucks, but they are no longer available with manual shift. No clutch, no sale.
It would be much more beneficial if you pinned a list of the vehicles you cover in this(all) video and what time it begins so us consumers can jump to the vehicles of our interest than wasting ti.e having to watch your entire video on vehicles we are not, you will probably get more likes doing that.....
My husband's a master technician and whenever someone asks him about buying a car he says "Honda or Toyota". We have a 1999 CRV, 2003 Accord, 2005 Pilot and a 2008 Odyssey, all have over 300,000 miles and going strong.
I haven’t purchased an American made car since my first Toyota Corolla in 2002 when my Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen. Best thing that ever happened to me! Now it’s only Toyota, Honda, and Mazda for me. I never have to suffer through breakdowns nor multiple recalls with any of those brands. I wish I could buy American, but they haven’t yet matched (even close) the reliability of those brands.
Maam I think the fact people are only looking for 100k miles out of vehicles at the price we pay is pretty damn crazy. We should be expecting 200k-300k miles! I definitely suggest keeping a Honda or Toyota in the stable as well.
@@gameklipz3553 I couldn’t agree more!! It’s a very low bar some set by expecting only 100K miles out of costing 50-80K…ridiculous. I had my 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 stolen in 2002. Best thing that ever happened to me carwise! It was my LAST American made vehicle and the first time I bought a Japanese car. It was a 2003 Toyota Corolla. I have never looked back! I’ve had Toyotas, Hondas, and now Mazdas…loved ALL of them and as an over the road manufacturers rep I easily put 200K plus miles on all of them before trading. NEVER had a mechanical failure leave me stranded in any of these vehicles (batteries and flat tires excluded). Will never (sadly) consider an American made vehicle because I just can’t justify abandoning what keeps me on the road: Mazda..Toyota..Honda. I rely on these vehicles to earn my money at work and I can rely on them.
I won't buy nothing but a Toyota. I have a 2009 Venza, all I have ever done is change her oil, refresh her brakes every few years and she still drives like new (175K miles). I can see her going well up to 300K easy. She's soooo dependable ✨️
I have a 26 year old 4Runner that still looks and runs like new. No leaks, doesn't burn any oil and only had one actal repair. The fuel pump started flaking out 2 or 3 years ago. The rest was all the normal preventative maintenance like a timing belt and brakes. I wouldn't think twice about driving this car across the country. It's just that reliable.
@@Tony-uo4mlnow a 23 w like 20-30k is 40k ish. Still not great but for what it is, im probably buying one in under s year depending on how the market it
@@Silversmith93 I have the 6 cylinder. It's not gutless at all. It honestly feels faster than my early '70s Porsche. I have no idea what the gas mileage is like. I feel like it's better than my 3rd gen Tacoma but I don't think I drive it enough to get a good sense of how long a tank lasts. All around it's been a damn good vehicle. I definitely got my money's worth out of it that's for sure.
Great video. The worst part about any reliable vehicle these days is resellers absolutely shafting the buyer. Less than a decade ago you used to be able to pick up a decent reliable car with 50K-100K miles for $4K-8K. Now? Those vehicles all go for $15K+ even with 100K miles on the odo. It's absolutely absurd.
Even cars with rebuilt titles and 100k plus miles have high prices smh. I was surfing around marketplace and saw a few cars with rebuilt titles and 100k miles having a finance option ffs. The car market in the US is just ridiculous now
The reason they get this much is cause we are dumb enough to pay that much. And they know they can get more when new vehicles are now averaging $40,000 new I a looking at a New Tundra how about 54-72,000 it is ludicrous don’t buy new or expensive used cars and they will not be able to sell them. Than prices will come down
Used cars 2 years old with low miles is only about a $2000 difference. I never buy new but today I did because it was the same price after adding the warranty. I wanted a hybrid highlander. Its hard to even find them new and harder to find the hybrid used. People keep them!
We have a 2000 Honda CRV with almost 300,000 miles on it , a 2001 RAV with almost 320,000 on it. Both are well maintained and only basic maintenance and both stillon the road. Love our Rav so much we just bought a 2023 Rav 4 TRD. Couldn't be happier.
I have 2003 Toyota Highlander (my 3rd Toyota). Bought it in 2005, lived in FL, It now has 238k miles. I'm retired now so, not driving as much, and live in KY, now w/ snow and no cover. I've always kept it up. I've been toying w/ idea of getting a used RAV4, but I think I'll keep it for now. I've been only driver, so inside looks pretty good, and I've done my share of moving and hauling stuff in it. I'm short and it came w/ running boards, a blessing, being short, Toyotas always fit me. I always said I'm a Toyota girl, could be a spokesperson. I appreciate these sights, very informative. Thank you
I have a 2006 Lexus 470, V8 engine. It has 323K miles. It’s the best vehicle ever. Almost never gives me any trouble. This year was the first time I had to repair under the hood, the alternator. Best vehicle ever.
I own a 2016 Lexus RX 450h that I purchased new. It’s the perfect blend of looks, luxury, and reliability. It continues to perform as new. In 8 years, my only maintenance expenses have been oil changes, tires, and a battery.
Heck; 100,000 miles isn't even broken in yet 😂. My 2005 Suburban had over 200,000 miles when I bought it. I bought it cheap ($2000) and put $4000 worth of repairs/maintenance in it. I converted it to a camper and It's never let me down. We go over mountains, through mud, on dirt roads, off road; we just spent 4 days wandering through the whole Allegheny Forest. Gas mileage is only 15 MPG, but the thing is built like a tank.
That's what I love the old fashion SUV you know they were unstoppable now the last ones they have a blender motor and transmission I mean like for Japanese I don't even fit inside !!😢😢
As a mechanic I know what to buy. And your list is pretty spot on. I own a 2004 Toyota sequoia with over 200000 miles on it still runs and looks good. But you forgot the best cheap SUV. The vortec Chevrolet Tahoe and suburban. I have one of both. Plus a vortec 454 2wd sub. All have over 200. The 4x4 sub well over 300 thousand. All still completely reliable
Jason, what year of those do you like? I'm on the hunt for an SUV with AWD that is good for car camping (flat flat cargo when rear seats down). I love my Jetta TDI Manual wagon (04) but it's not AWD - need a new ish option $25-30K. Would love your advice! 🙏🏽
Thx you so much for commenting on this video! I'm definitely in the market for a full size SUV due to my only GMC ENVOY got me from the west coast to the east coast(USA) but blew a coil in Kansas on our way back.
I bought a Lexus GX470 in 2003, still have it with 181,000 miles. Keep it serviced and runs great since driving it 20 years I’ve save thousands and thousands on car payments and it still looks great.
I had a 2001 Chey Suburban I bought Used in 2002 and drove it 250k in 7 yrs , all I ever did was the recommended maintenance and change the oil every 5000 k switched to high mileage synthetic oil at 100k ( which I recommend on any vehicle) . I kept that Vehicle longer than any car I have ever owned because it was as just so comfortable and drove great the whole time I had it .
My 2015 Subaru Outback, just rolled 152,000 miles on the odometer. Other than regular maintenance, like oil changes, tune ups, brakes, tires, serpentine belt, and batteries ... She only needed one repair. At 120,000 the rear passenger wheel bearing started making a whining noise, and needed to be replaced. This is the best car I have ever owned. She is built solid, and still runs like she is new! I have driven all of my past cars the same, most American built, and they all had issues before 100,000. Some it was the A/C, things like rack and pinion, electric windows malfunctioning, replacing alternators and water pumps before 100,000. I definitely plan on putting another 150,000 plus miles on Subi!
I've been leasing Outback's over 10 years. ( I did lease a Ascent in between those years - Also great Subi ). Outback's are very dependable and comfortable. Great on gasoline. I agree they're solid good vehicle's. Have a great day Dino.
@@Dino-gw9pzIf I remember correctly, most of the parts are foreign made. The easier assembly portion is sometimes performed in the US. Parts built in the US tend to have questionable quality controls compared to those built in Japan.
I just bought a new Nissan Pathfinder after driving my 2001 model for 22 years. It had over 300,000 miles on it and was still running with no problems. I was just ready for some tech features!

I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander,. 198,508 miles. I have had to do general maintenance....brakes,. Alternator,...I did ( on my own) replace the rear struts last summer....this spring I will be doing the front. Best car I have ever owned. Crazy thing is ( now I do and always have used the best synthetic oil and top of the line oil filter). It has as much pep as it did when I bought it with 55,000 miles. I have gone thru 2 gm suv.s for second cars....all shit. I just bought a 2020 highlander...54,000 miles and all the bells and whistles....4 wheel lock when I want it... Down hill low gear...things I wasn't sure I'd get without spending 40 grand. And I didn't. 30,450.00. all leather..heat and cool seats...8way adjustable front seats... I will never by another car again that is not a Toyota Highlander....though ...I don't think I'll need to any time soon
I agree, good car, but my last car was an M35 Infiniti. Loved driving it, but it was BMW-complicated. Regular mechanics were unable to take care of it, and the dealer was incompetent and too expensive. I like the plain-wrapper brands now.
My uncle has had an Armada for over 10 years and it looks and runs like new. Silver on black and it looks great. Also, I wouldn't mind taking you to the backseat of your Armada. What's your IG?
@@DeltaRoots I can’t say anything about the new armadas but my O6 was amazing.. good luck to you.. they are so roomy in the inside as well unlike the Chevy
My 2014 Honda CRV has over 200k miles on it. Bought it new and haven't had any major issues, I've replaced the starter a couple of times and the battery every 2 to 3 years or so, and just regular maintenance beyond that, have never been left on the side of the road.
What's really neat, is that because people are so hyper-aware of what's a good buy and what's a lemon....the market has absolutely reflected this. Used Toyota SUV's aren't cheap, so much so that I think their reliability butts right up against the out-the-door price. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm crazy. But I'm looking at Highlanders that are just dumb expensive right now. Do a segment on pretty good SUV's, diamonds in the rough, surprisingly decent, etc.
It's hard to beat a Superdo I mean Subaru especially for the money. I think I've owned 10 now with 3 of them over 300K with perfect engines,,, ALL OF THEM.
Same here. I drove a 2004 for 8 yrs with zero problems and still got $7000 when I traded it in with 198,000 miles on it. I now own a Gx460 and a NX F Sport that I’ll drive for many many years to come. You can’t beat a Lexus.
Not surprised that 6/10 of these are Toyota/Lexus made cars. I’ve owned the Forerunner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, GX 470 and GX 460. All fabulous SUVs. All driven well over 200,000 miles. Amazing vehicles.
My experience also. I've had the 4runners and GX470. 4runner #1 was over 325K, GX470 is 260K and still going. 4runner #2 (actually a kids car) is new less than 100K. I'm eyeing a used 5.7 l Sequoia or if I can find a clean LX570/Land Cruiser for the next car. The GX is the best SUVI ever owned. The 4runner #1 was very good too but not as lux as the GX.
I’ve got a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe V6, best vehicle I have ever owned, 171,000 km on it, original spark plugs, great pick up for passing. Only ever being to the shop for a couple of minor recalls but nothing that has ever give any problems. Do my own brakes and oil changes regularly, just the regular update with tires and two vehicles battery’s, love it. People can’t believe it’s 13 year old vehicle especially with the pickup it has and gets excellent mileage as I drive from Canada to Arizona every Winter.
I was hoping someone would mention Hyundai! I have a 2013 Santa Fe XL that I bought brand new. I love it and yes, it sure has get up and go when you need it. I started parking it in winter after a couple years. I did not want someone to hit me and wreck it. Bought a 2002 dodge ram for winter driving. 😊
I still have a 2003 Tribute. Due to travel reasons, it spends a lot of time garaged. Just turned 73K miles. Still looks great and minimally worn interior.
Bought an 04 rav 4, for 6k cnd, with 160km in 2015, drove it until 2019 with 250km, and sold it for 5.5k cnd. With no issues other replacing the fuel pump. That shows you the reliability
I've owned 20 cars over my life, and my current 2008 Lexus GX470 with 145k on it is the best car I've ever had. Its put together so well, just change the oil and do the timing belt every 90k miles. It'll drive through any weather and road conditions with its full time 4wd. I don't drive a lot, so the 13mpg doesn't bother me. Plus It'll tow 5000lbs. I'm positive it will make 300k. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Recently upgraded after my 2010 rav4 got totaled with only 136k miles to a 2019 xle premium with 118k miles and it cost me 19,500 plus taxes and 4 year 40k mile extended warranty. It looks, drives and shifts like new.
You're probably a proud owner of an empty wallet if that's still your situation you should be more concerned about your success instead of the fact that your car still runs more on This later with someone with intelligence
@@corrupttitlebuster6484 LOL. You think I’m broke, because I have a car that lasts? I choose to use my money smartly instead of wasting it on a car payment or on repairing some crappy flashy cars. I had a BMW 650 before my 4Runner and it was a money pit. Got it new and had 140k when I finally sold it. I’ll never again spend $1400 on front breaks, I’ll tell you that.
@@corrupttitlebuster6484 It is also a very naive view that you are successful when you can afford an expensive car. The fact is that you’d be better off using the money that you would spend on an expensive car and put it in your house. Once you have your dream home, you don’t think about trying to impress people with flashy cars. Maybe when you get wiser, you’ll agree.
@@feszty I would agree that considering you're misreading what I'm typing with your typical authoritarian approach makes you foolish not only unwise but foolishly I'm mature you don't even know which part I'm specifically referencing to considering there are over a dozen points that I could reference this to directly within the video You truly Are exactly as you described Have you ever considered that you might be projecting your own actions and insecurities as other people's actions as you hypocritically List accusations without presearch or understanding You are what we call a surface troll a worm More or less a Democrat that supports Biden Get a freaking clue man
My third Acura got sold when I turned 84 yrs old and was a used car to me. It had 100,000 miles plus and purred quietly. I had no large repair in the 15 or so years I owned it. Lucky somebody who bought it.
They should have made it to the list. The old wagons lancruisers were the best, too bad for the rust. Their diesel engines were great. I have an old fj40 on my dream list for an adventure vehicle.
I have a 2007 Toyota Sequoia with 238,000 miles. It's had brake jobs, several sets of tires and spark plugs, and a serpentine belt, battery. Normal maintenance. Had to bypass kit the emissions starting pump and new straps for the fuel tank. Fairly normal maintenance for its age. It's as tough as a suv can be. I live in Wisconsin it's driven daily in over 100° temps in summer and in winter where I live i get 3ft of snow and -35° below zero. It always starts. I would buy a brand new one but not for the 80,000 price tag. It's a truck not a house.
Please if you can keep the older Sequoia please do this. Newer TS are just plastic . They are not as strong sturdy has the older models. The cost is another thing. The newer one,s are at least 60,000 dollars. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming , plus the planes and the great lakes. TS is the best machine. Its very hard to get quality ones in Coastal North America though.
Own a 2002 sequoia. 200,000 on the clock and very few issues. What I noticed as well is the interior is solid. No tares on the outside driver seat. Also own 1999 Yukon with 300,000. Looks like crap, but runs solid.
2017 Honda CRV with 167,000 miles. No major repairs and no problems. Plan to keep it well past 200,000 miles. It’s the third CRV my wife and I have owned in 22 years of marriage!
We have a 2010 Sequoia with over 307,000 miles - all we do is the recommended maintenance. We also bought a used 2018 RAV 4 for our college aged son. He is very happy with it - so far no problems.
unfortunately most of the used car market has realized how well built all these cars are and have grossly increased the price of them to the point of almost matching the msrp of when the released, causing alot of people to be priced out of them.
@@midnightfun1277:- It was the waiting for the new models (sometimes almost a year) that made used autos look so good, and drastically increased the price of used. Just before covid, l bought a used RAV4 at a Toyota dealer, for a very reasonable price. Then, just a few months later, my RAV4 (5 years old) was then selling for close to its new price...and this was totally due to the unavailability of new models on the showroom floor. But yes, the reliability is historic and the vehicle has earned its reputation.
My 04 GMC Yukon XL has close to 300k on original engine and transmission and still runs strong. We literally drive it everywhere. It has rattles and the factory radio that's still installed sucks. The rear lift gate needs new shocks but that's about it. I purchased it from the 3rd owner for $3k when it had about 180k on it. Best $3k I've ever spent.
The newer Yukons are not as good. They are built much cheaper, if you like buying cars that run good for cheap I would recommend a scion xb they run so good and can be bought for a good price but you must look around
Kelly mate , Yukon XL 2500 especially the one with Vortec 8100 8.1 L V8 . I cant find this one anywhere. Its a beast . Just keep your XL till it literally dies out.
Interesting the average annual repair cost of a Highlander is $468. That is more than my 8 years and $200,000 mile Highlander. Only $430 total in 8 years. That thing is rock solid.
I own a 2005 Acura MDX base model that we bought with 99k miles on it. Now at 260K miles other than standard maintenance it has been reliable, powerful & relatively inexpensive for what services we have done.
I have been buying 100,000 km - 150,000 km used cars for the past 30 years and I have never had any problem that made me regret my purchase. With that I was able to save lot of money to buy 2 houses.
Still driving and appreciating my 2012 Honda CR-V, EX-l with 128k miles. Road trips are comfortable, economical, and fun (not as much as my motorcycles or MX-5 but still...).
I had a CRV with 237,000 miles on it when I sold it. The man is still driving it. I've had many Hondas through the years, but am now on my second VOLVO XC70. First one was a 2002. Current is a 2008 and will probably last me the rest of my life.
Great Job!!! I agree with your picks. Just to add a wild card to the mix I have found the Gen 9 Chevy or GMC Suburban/Yukon FROM 2000-2006, have been excellent. I owned 3, and still own a 2001 with 125,000 miles. The other 2 were over 200,000 miles.
Yes I agree too . Chevy make great engines and transmission 2001-2006 I have own a 2003 5.3l v8. It a great machine.. 12 year trouble free of ownership .
My 2014 Honda Pilot just hit 200k. I got all the fluids replaced, got the transmission serviced. No major issues other than having to replace a sway bar, a collapsed engine mount and a missing bolt on the engine. Great build, great ride. Very quiet. Incredibly reliable. Current issues I have are that the rear shocks are getting a bit old and there is a very slow fluid leak around the front right axle. I've taken this think up mountains, on unpaved forest roads. I did a road trip across the USA from Colorado --> Salt Lake --> Glacier National Park --> Maine.
I've got a 2006 sequoia, 257,000 miles, just had timing belt and alternator belt replaced as well as oil change& wipers. The Toyota dealer that serviced it, wanted to buy it. Not a chance...it's the best riding vehicle I've ever had. I'll drive it til it quits....
Can't beat a Vortec 4200. 180K and still going strong. Minor engine repairs, i.e., coil, injector and I put springs in the rear after removing the air bags. 2002 GMC Envoy. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
I bought a GMC Envoy in 2003, and I still have it in 2024. This car has been extremely reliable. It drives like a truck with a smooth ride. I did all the required maintenance, and even though I have about 300,000 miles, it still runs great!
1997 Toyota 4 Runner. Still runs great, the green paint is starting to show its age. Also alloy wheels look bad. The engine and transmission all run like brand new. Plan on keeping it till it dies or rusts out. Very happy haven’t had a vehicle payment since 2002. 21 years ago!!!
I have a 99 toyota rav 4. I bought it at 284000km 7 years ago. Besides regular maintenance like oil change, bakes etc. It never let me down. I have 375000km on it right now and still going strong. It even survived a head on with a deer. Thanks to cheap parts and ease of working on it it was back on the road within a day of work. I'm a toyota lover having had 2 other toyota with over 300000 km on them.
@@merekmura613 i have a 2006 Scion Xb which i think is similar to the Echo just hit 280,000 miles with only changing oil and spark plugs once. Its got the automatic trans and burns zero oil. Im def a Toyota fan now.
My aunt bought a brand new 2002 Honda Pilot and ran it till two months ago never had serious problems they had to replace a steering pump that’s it for 20 years they had it put 356 thousand miles on it and they still use it just got a new one.
I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner, it used to be maintained by my mother who did the bare minimum. It recently just passed the 320 000 km mark (almost 200 000 miles) and is still going strong. I don’t think I’ll ever find another vehicle as reliable.
My 2004 Honda Pilot has over 315000 on it. I have not had any problems until Oct. 2022 when the transmission went out. I replaced the transmission and we are back on the road.
My 2005 honda crv has 211k miles on it and it still runs fine. I got 27.4 mpg on a 180 mile highway trip. That was with the ac turned off it gets around 24-24 with the ac on. It's a great little suv.
I have a 2007 Rav 4 V6 with 140,000 miles that I have had for about 10 years. Best vehicle I have ever owned would drive it anywhere. The engine is hardly even broken in.
Although I've leased Subaru Outback's over the last 10 years for work commuting I still have my 2016 Toyota 4Runner in my garage. My 2nd 4Runner I've owned and is my 4-ever car now that I've retired. I owned a 2004 4Runner and then learned what an awesome vehicle it was. I didn't have 4WD on that one but it went everywhere. ( Only got stuck once ) my bad. 4Runner's are awesome. Glad it was on your list. Great review btw!
I have a 2002 4Runner Limited with 167k miles. I recently purchased a Subaru Outback because I’m getting too old to climb in the newer 4Runners. I realized that while testing! I love my 4Runner & I’ll be sick the day I give it up. Beautiful vehicle.
#3 and #6 in our driveway. After years of hounding by a family member, who is a Toyota certified technician, we hopefully now have 2 vehicles that will suit our needs and last a long, long time, with proper maintenance, of course.
My first SUV, a 2012 Subaru Outback (base model). I got it quite cheap, in January of this year with 225K miles, it now has 233K miles. Although it's not made for quick acceleration, it has no problem getting on the interstate, or passing cars on local roads. In 3,000 miles of mixed driving it used 1/2 a quart of motor oil and the CVT shifting is flawless. Living in Maine, I had the opportunity to experience the AWD system and it is just amazing.
We still drive our 2004 Acura MDX everyday. What a workhorse! Yes, we've put some money into it over the years, but not as much as you would expect. Still love it's looks after all these years. My 2012 Mazda CX-9 is proving to be a close second!
I drove a 2005 rav4 for about 10 years. Got it to 220k, never had any major problems except the radiator that just went bad recently. Still runs fine and I still have it, just needs a radiator replacement. Got a newer Rav4 about 3 months ago
Have a 2006 Subaru Outback with the 3.0 engine. 240K miles and it still purrs. Regular oil changes with synthetic every 5000 miles. Can also tow 3000 lbs. Downside is it's hard on wheel bearings. Best AWD system too. Will go through 12" of snow like it's not there.
I have a Honda CR-V mk2 and as a first car it’s great. It’s just 50 miles away from 120,000 miles. In the U.K. we’ve had temps well below freezing for the past week and it starts on the turn of the key every time
Own a Toyota Corolla 12 yrs now, 120k miles. Been wanting a RAV4 only because I'll be able to carry bigger stuff. Limited my online search to 2017-2021, but now because of your video, I can go back further. But I consider upgrading only 2 or 3 yrs kinda dumb. Thank you. I swore I'd never own anything but Toyota, but can consider Honda (always higher in price) and Forester now
I am driving my custom order '99 Ford Ranger. 250,550K miles on it. The last major repair was front-end suspension, tires, radiator, and brakes. Total cost for all the work, $3,200. I'll be selling it in 2 or 3 months. I have loved it since I picked it up at the dealership in NM after watching the driver unload it from the car hauler. I'm still getting people who want to buy it. 😊
@penelopelgoss2520 that car is invaluable, surely you will have a huge line of people wanting to buy that jewel... to have so many miles it has surely been treated with great affection
I have an 09 infiniti fx50S with 268k miles on it, and it's STILL going strong!!! My sons 99 camry has 340k, i believe ill get there eventually, with no problems.
Awesome job! You put a ton of research and work into this. Your voice is clear and you enunciate really well too. You are on your way to a million+ subs and I'm happy to say that I am one of them. Keep up the great work!
My car is a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek manual 6 spd, 105K miles. Check engine light has never come on, and it uses about a half-quart of oil between 6,000 mile oil changes. No turbo, no CVT, no start-stop. Gonna keep it for 300,000 miles.
I brought 2006 Kia Sportage with 5 miles, had this car for over 100,000 miles never missed a oil change and never had any problems so far I'm 76 years old and must say this is the best car I ever had
Thanks brother. Very informative and helpful. I bought a 5 years old used Pilot. I knew it required some repairs at time of purchase. It's been a very reliable car so far. I got a good deal.
I had to drive the Highlander for my previous job and it was intimidating at first because I’m short. After I got all of the settings to where I wanted, I was driving it like a car haha My coworkers were afraid to drive it, but I loved it. If I could afford a 2nd car I’d get Highlander in a heartbeat.
Nice vid. I own a GX460 and it belongs at the top of the list. 10 years and 130K miles and only non-routine maintenance expense was the interior vent fan started whirring. A known issue I replaced myself for $100. That said, in fairness, a top reliability list without the Toyota Landcruiser is incomplete.
2003 HONDA PILOT AWD!!! Only ONE repair since taking delivery in 2003 … ignition switch! $265 in 2021! 133,000 miles, always garaged, kept on factory maintenance schedule, even the AC still blows at 42 degrees and has never needed a recharge!!! 8 passenger, 23mpg, 473 highway mile trip! Truly a stupendous work engineering art and craftsmanship! Thank you Honda!
My 2002 has only 200k now and I have been wondering at what point the alternator might go out so I know when to get mine replaced . I just hate the thought of being way out somewhere and have it go out. Figure I could change it when it's due and keep the old one for a spare. Any tips about when they go out or are you still on the original? 👍
@@captainamericaamerica8090 Hope they’re diesels or newer Triton engine. My 2000 V10 Excursion spit out two spark plugs, then it just got worse from there. Sleeving the two spark plug holes just made it worse. Long story but was 1000 miles from home with rv and two dogs when it happened. I am a mechanic and couldn’t fix it(discovered it needed two pistons at a minimum). Had to sell and buy a Toyota just to get back home. AVOID any Triton engine until 2004 and later. I believe Ford corrected the spark plug thread issue from then on. Triton owners, you’ve been warned.
I started a new job where I was told “we here like to buy American cars rather than them Japanese cars”. I drove on average 95 miles more per day for my commute than those people (I was being paid very well). My Japanese car never saw a wrench other than for basic maintenance. They were always using their tools on their cars and knew the people in the auto parts stores on a first name basis. Worst SUV I’ve ever owned: Jeep Grand Cherokee. Best SUV I’ve ever owned: Toyota 4Runner 💪🏼😎
@@lorireed8046 Dont see any Hyundais on ANY of these lists. I agree, in my experience, they are crap cars and mostly sell due to their 10 year warranty...which their dealers apparently hate. The couple of dealers I have encountered helping a work friend who has a Tucson were simply unscrupulous. They tried to charge her $3k for rusting engine rails. I argued there was supposed to be a warranty on a 3 year old car. I did a quick internet search and found there was a TSB on it and it should be fixed free. One conversation (threatening them) and they fixed it free but it soured me on that dealer. She also was totally pissed off and tells everyone and anyone that they tried to screw her. She is a single mom and pretty much lived check to check. I only got involved because I heard her crying and talking on the phone about the car and I had seen it and thought it was pretty new....sure enough 3 years old. She was a very nice lady but admitted she knew nothing about cars. I tried to teach her basics about oil changes, checking fluids and tires but she was afraid of all the mechanical stuff. I told her to sell it and buy a used Honda, Toyota or Mazda.
Remember: car companies often have several brands they place the same engine, transmission, and accessories onto mechanically. For example, the Honda pilot and Acura MDX models use the same Honda V6 VTEC engine and transmission with very little difference in accessories under the hood. My 2003 Acura MDX had nearly 200000 miles on it when I bought it, and I've put on it 60000 miles in two years including multistate road trips and a cross country move from the upper Midwest to the gulf coast and the Rockies, loaded to the brim, and a drive from Florida to Texas and back without issue. You can find out easily which different brands will use the same mechanical systems and if one vehicle is reliable, it's likely the luxury or consumer version of that company's Powerpack with be similarly reliable.
I leased new SUVs, sports cars, and sedans for many years. When I retired I bought a new 4Runner in 2016. She is such a pleasure to drive, and I feel so safe too. She only has eleven k miles, but I know she will take care of me and whomever takes the reigns afterward.
My Land cruiser prado 2.8 L diesel just hit 160,000 km or 100k miles. I only changed DPF under warranty, no questions asked no hassle at all. Other than that no issues what so ever. Ride and mileage even better than ever. Crazy reliability Recently done 1500 km road trip with no refilling. (150 litre Australian version fuel tank)
The Toyota Land Cruiser is the most desired vehicle in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the NGO’s of the United Nations. What have they in common? Tough off road country usage, good service and spare parts and reliability. The only vehicle that costs as much ten years after you bought it! Show me any other vehicle with that sort of depreciation. Cheers mate. Harera
@@zuhairjanbi1887 Absolutely, neighbor had one that was his wifes commuter car...to work, pick up the kids, lessons, back home...60-70 miles a day on an island. When it hit 175K miles they shipped it to the US Mainland for their vacation home car. He went thru muliple cars for his business actually driving fewer miles but that Land Cruiser was a constant.
Honda Pilot? Didn't start in 2003. Friends had them, with blown engines, under 100k miles, years before that. Honda didn't have a suitable engine, so installed Isuzu V6 engines. Which were good, except for the oil pickup that sucks oil from the bottom of the oil pan. They'd drop out, the engine would be starved of oil, and seized in seconds. In the early 2000s, the Pilot was known as one of the least reliable cars in America. Not just embarrassing for Honda, who are known for excellent engines, but especially painful because the failures weren't their fault! Fortunately for my buddy in Redmond WA, after launching a law suit at both his dealer and Honda America, he got the engine replaced at no cost. But it was a painful route to getting resolution.
Lamd Cruiser still looks and drives the same 20 years on - boring, thirsty, full of plastic panels, and drives like a bucket full of shiite. A Massey Ferguson tractor looks and drives better.
@@jefferystephen-ud7id I’m pretty sure the dealer knew they sold me a bad car. A week after I bought it the check engine light came on. And it was on and off for the two and half years I owned it. Multiple 02 Sensors and catalytic converter failing. I can’t afford to have my car at the mechanics every few months. Car only had 70,000 miles on it when I got rid of it. The worst. Lol
@@JermaineDFW yes maybe the non turbo ones . Everyone I talked to before buying lovedddddd their Subaru..the turbos engines are built differently and their design caused some problems. I guess I was just an unlucky one. It was incredibly unreliable and had so many issues and once the dealer screwed me on the warranty I paid a lot of extra money for I said that’s the last straw and went back to Toyota.
My first Toyota, a RAV4 was a workhorse! She never had any major issues, just routine regular maintenance. At over 360,000 miles, I gave her to my daughter who traded her in on a new 2019 Toyota Corolla which is still going strong. I bought a new Forerunner in 2012 and she now has close to 200,000 miles. Same thing-no major issues, just routine maintenance. We are a loyal Toyota family!

You must mean the top 10 foreign used SUVs.
My husband's a master technician and whenever someone asks him about buying a car he says "Honda or Toyota". We have a 1999 CRV, 2003 Accord, 2005 Pilot and a 2008 Odyssey, all have over 300,000 miles and going strong.
I haven’t purchased an American made car since my first Toyota Corolla in 2002 when my Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen. Best thing that ever happened to me! Now it’s only Toyota, Honda, and Mazda for me. I never have to suffer through breakdowns nor multiple recalls with any of those brands. I wish I could buy American, but they haven’t yet matched (even close) the reliability of those brands.
Maam I think the fact people are only looking for 100k miles out of vehicles at the price we pay is pretty damn crazy. We should be expecting 200k-300k miles! I definitely suggest keeping a Honda or Toyota in the stable as well.
@@gameklipz3553 I couldn’t agree more!! It’s a very low bar some set by expecting only 100K miles out of costing 50-80K…ridiculous. I had my 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 stolen in 2002. Best thing that ever happened to me carwise! It was my LAST American made vehicle and the first time I bought a Japanese car. It was a 2003 Toyota Corolla. I have never looked back! I’ve had Toyotas, Hondas, and now Mazdas…loved ALL of them and as an over the road manufacturers rep I easily put 200K plus miles on all of them before trading. NEVER had a mechanical failure leave me stranded in any of these vehicles (batteries and flat tires excluded). Will never (sadly) consider an American made vehicle because I just can’t justify abandoning what keeps me on the road: Mazda..Toyota..Honda. I rely on these vehicles to earn my money at work and I can rely on them.
I have been happy with my 2020 Pilot.
I won't buy nothing but a Toyota. I have a 2009 Venza, all I have ever done is change her oil, refresh her brakes every few years and she still drives like new (175K miles). I can see her going well up to 300K easy. She's soooo dependable ✨️
I have a 26 year old 4Runner that still looks and runs like new. No leaks, doesn't burn any oil and only had one actal repair. The fuel pump started flaking out 2 or 3 years ago. The rest was all the normal preventative maintenance like a timing belt and brakes. I wouldn't think twice about driving this car across the country. It's just that reliable.
Funny the interior probably is identical to the 2023. Just dated and awful for $60 grand

My 1990 4Runner runs & drives great but gets awful gas mileage & is incredibly gutless. What engine does yours have?
@@Silversmith93 I have the 6 cylinder. It's not gutless at all. It honestly feels faster than my early '70s Porsche. I have no idea what the gas mileage is like. I feel like it's better than my 3rd gen Tacoma but I don't think I drive it enough to get a good sense of how long a tank lasts. All around it's been a damn good vehicle. I definitely got my money's worth out of it that's for sure.
Great video. The worst part about any reliable vehicle these days is resellers absolutely shafting the buyer. Less than a decade ago you used to be able to pick up a decent reliable car with 50K-100K miles for $4K-8K. Now? Those vehicles all go for $15K+ even with 100K miles on the odo. It's absolutely absurd.
Two words: American greed
Even cars with rebuilt titles and 100k plus miles have high prices smh. I was surfing around marketplace and saw a few cars with rebuilt titles and 100k miles having a finance option ffs. The car market in the US is just ridiculous now
In Europe as well unfortunately
The reason they get this much is cause we are dumb enough to pay that much. And they know they can get more when new vehicles are now averaging $40,000 new I a looking at a New Tundra how about 54-72,000 it is ludicrous don’t buy new or expensive used cars and they will not be able to sell them. Than prices will come down
Used cars 2 years old with low miles is only about a $2000 difference. I never buy new but today I did because it was the same price after adding the warranty. I wanted a hybrid highlander. Its hard to even find them new and harder to find the hybrid used. People keep them!
I am Japanese. I would like to express my gratitude to people around the world who continue to drive Japanese cars with care.
The Japanese manufacturers have retrained the American car companies in how to build cars.
I only buy Japanese cars.
I only buy Japanese cars. Most are built in Japan which is what I prefer. 👍
we thank u for the craftsmanship
A few months ago , I bought a 2013 Lexus GX460 and I love it! I thank Japan for this fine vehicle.
We have a 2000 Honda CRV with almost 300,000 miles on it , a 2001 RAV with almost 320,000 on it. Both are well maintained and only basic maintenance and both stillon the road. Love our Rav so much we just bought a 2023 Rav 4 TRD. Couldn't be happier.
I have 2003 Toyota Highlander (my 3rd Toyota). Bought it in 2005, lived in FL, It now has 238k miles. I'm retired now so, not driving as much, and live in KY, now w/ snow and no cover. I've always kept it up. I've been toying w/ idea of getting a used RAV4, but I think I'll keep it for now. I've been only driver, so inside looks pretty good, and I've done my share of moving and hauling stuff in it. I'm short and it came w/ running boards, a blessing, being short, Toyotas always fit me. I always said I'm a Toyota girl, could be a spokesperson. I appreciate these sights, very informative. Thank you

Bought my GX two weeks ago 😂
I have a 2006 Lexus 470, V8 engine. It has 323K miles. It’s the best vehicle ever. Almost never gives me any trouble. This year was the first time I had to repair under the hood, the alternator. Best vehicle ever.
Almost as good as the same vehicle with the diesel engine.
Too bad they stopped selling those.
@@bempey Do you recall the yrs they manufactured the diesel engines?
I own a 2016 Lexus RX 450h that I purchased new. It’s the perfect blend of looks, luxury, and reliability. It continues to perform as new. In 8 years, my only maintenance expenses have been oil changes, tires, and a battery.
I love that SUV. 😂😂
Heck; 100,000 miles isn't even broken in yet 😂. My 2005 Suburban had over 200,000 miles when I bought it. I bought it cheap ($2000) and put $4000 worth of repairs/maintenance in it. I converted it to a camper and It's never let me down. We go over mountains, through mud, on dirt roads, off road; we just spent 4 days wandering through the whole Allegheny Forest. Gas mileage is only 15 MPG, but the thing is built like a tank.
That's what I love the old fashion SUV you know they were unstoppable now the last ones they have a blender motor and transmission I mean like for Japanese I don't even fit inside !!😢😢
Just gave my 01 Yukon with 385k on the original Motor and Transmission to a friend. Still going strong. Just need the rear bearings done.
I have a 2009 CRV that I bought new and I have had NO problems with that car in 14 years. You can't beat a Toyota or Honda for reliability
Buy a new CRV and you'll be surprised how much garbage it is.
As a mechanic I know what to buy. And your list is pretty spot on. I own a 2004 Toyota sequoia with over 200000 miles on it still runs and looks good. But you forgot the best cheap SUV. The vortec Chevrolet Tahoe and suburban. I have one of both. Plus a vortec 454 2wd sub. All have over 200. The 4x4 sub well over 300 thousand. All still completely reliable
Jason, what year of those do you like? I'm on the hunt for an SUV with AWD that is good for car camping (flat flat cargo when rear seats down). I love my Jetta TDI Manual wagon (04) but it's not AWD - need a new ish option $25-30K. Would love your advice! 🙏🏽
Thx you so much for commenting on this video! I'm definitely in the market for a full size SUV due to my only GMC ENVOY got me from the west coast to the east coast(USA) but blew a coil in Kansas on our way back.

I bought a Lexus GX470 in 2003, still have it with 181,000 miles. Keep it serviced and runs great since driving it 20 years I’ve save thousands and thousands on car payments and it still looks great.
I'm impressed with the quality of Lexus especially the GX!!
Best SUV I've ever owned...02 Ford Excursion, by far. 360k miles and my nephew still drives it!
I had a 2001 Chey Suburban I bought Used in 2002 and drove it 250k in 7 yrs , all I ever did was the recommended maintenance and change the oil every 5000 k switched to high mileage synthetic oil at 100k ( which I recommend on any vehicle) . I kept that Vehicle longer than any car I have ever owned because it was as just so comfortable and drove great the whole time I had it .
My 2015 Subaru Outback, just rolled 152,000 miles on the odometer. Other than regular maintenance, like oil changes, tune ups, brakes, tires, serpentine belt, and batteries ... She only needed one repair. At 120,000 the rear passenger wheel bearing started making a whining noise, and needed to be replaced.
This is the best car I have ever owned. She is built solid, and still runs like she is new!
I have driven all of my past cars the same, most American built, and they all had issues before 100,000. Some it was the A/C, things like rack and pinion, electric windows malfunctioning, replacing alternators and water pumps before 100,000.
I definitely plan on putting another 150,000 plus miles on Subi!
I've been leasing Outback's over 10 years. ( I did lease a Ascent in between those years - Also great Subi ). Outback's are very dependable and comfortable. Great on gasoline. I agree they're solid good vehicle's. Have a great day Dino.
Outback is american built!
@@frizzlefry1921 That's right, mine came with a made in Indiana sticker on it!
@@Dino-gw9pzIf I remember correctly, most of the parts are foreign made. The easier assembly portion is sometimes performed in the US. Parts built in the US tend to have questionable quality controls compared to those built in Japan.
I just bought a new Nissan Pathfinder after driving my 2001 model for 22 years. It had over 300,000 miles on it and was still running with no problems. I was just ready for some tech features!

We've had our Pathfinder since 2002 with over 315000 Miles!
I just bought a 2008 with 268,000 miles couldn’t afford anything else replacing the 2 control arms
Get ready to drain that wallet!

I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander,. 198,508 miles. I have had to do general maintenance....brakes,. Alternator,...I did ( on my own) replace the rear struts last summer....this spring I will be doing the front. Best car I have ever owned. Crazy thing is ( now I do and always have used the best synthetic oil and top of the line oil filter). It has as much pep as it did when I bought it with 55,000 miles. I have gone thru 2 gm suv.s for second cars....all shit. I just bought a 2020 highlander...54,000 miles and all the bells and whistles....4 wheel lock when I want it... Down hill low gear...things I wasn't sure I'd get without spending 40 grand. And I didn't. 30,450.00. all leather..heat and cool seats...8way adjustable front seats... I will never by another car again that is not a Toyota Highlander....though ...I don't think I'll need to any time soon
GX460/470 is undying car, my friend bought with 140k miles now it’s close to 350k miles and still runs strong
Thats fantastic, what year?
I agree, good car, but my last car was an M35 Infiniti. Loved driving it, but it was BMW-complicated. Regular mechanics were unable to take care of it, and the dealer was incompetent and too expensive. I like the plain-wrapper brands now.
I had a Nissan armada over 300,000 miles when I gave it away it was still running like a champ and the new owners named it Hercules 😊
Hi isabel What year was the armada if u don mind me asking?
@@okde1875 06 Nissan Armada.. still running like a champ.. it never gave me any problems except for the usual maintenance and wear and tear
My uncle has had an Armada for over 10 years and it looks and runs like new. Silver on black and it looks great.
Also, I wouldn't mind taking you to the backseat of your Armada. What's your IG?
I'm think about getting one
@@DeltaRoots I can’t say anything about the new armadas but my O6 was amazing.. good luck to you.. they are so roomy in the inside as well unlike the Chevy
My 2014 Honda CRV has over 200k miles on it. Bought it new and haven't had any major issues, I've replaced the starter a couple of times and the battery every 2 to 3 years or so, and just regular maintenance beyond that, have never been left on the side of the road.
Is your crv fwd or awd , I'm looking at getting a crv .. recommendations..
@@luiscavazos8026 AWD I think. They ask me that every time I go to buy brakes and I can never remember, lol.
What's really neat, is that because people are so hyper-aware of what's a good buy and what's a lemon....the market has absolutely reflected this. Used Toyota SUV's aren't cheap, so much so that I think their reliability butts right up against the out-the-door price. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm crazy. But I'm looking at Highlanders that are just dumb expensive right now. Do a segment on pretty good SUV's, diamonds in the rough, surprisingly decent, etc.
I’ve been with my 2018 Toyota Highlander since I bought brand new in the same year. And that vehicle is so reliable and give me no problem at all.
We’ve owned 2 Subaru Forester and they are the best cars we’ve ever owned; reliable, great in snow and easy to drive.
I had a Volvo s70 it literally out performed a big Dodge Durango in a snowstorm!!!❤up in the Sierra Nevadas!!!
It's hard to beat a Superdo I mean Subaru especially for the money. I think I've owned 10 now with 3 of them over 300K with perfect engines,,, ALL OF THEM.
I had a 2014 GX and it never let me down. I only traded it for a larger LX570 which also continues to require minimal attention.
Good option especially for the reliability and quality and resale value
Same here. I drove a 2004 for 8 yrs with zero problems and still got $7000 when I traded it in with 198,000 miles on it. I now own a Gx460 and a NX F Sport that I’ll drive for many many years to come. You can’t beat a Lexus.
I did exactly same thing. Bought my 2014 Lexus GX 460 in 2016 for $45,000.00 and traded it in last year for 2018 LX 570. I got $23500 for the trade.
Not surprised that 6/10 of these are Toyota/Lexus made cars. I’ve owned the Forerunner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, GX 470 and GX 460. All fabulous SUVs. All driven well over 200,000 miles. Amazing vehicles.
Which one do you rate at 1?
Which ones of yours would you rate for highest ownership satisfaction?
My experience also. I've had the 4runners and GX470. 4runner #1 was over 325K, GX470 is 260K and still going. 4runner #2 (actually a kids car) is new less than 100K. I'm eyeing a used 5.7 l Sequoia or if I can find a clean LX570/Land Cruiser for the next car.
The GX is the best SUVI ever owned. The 4runner #1 was very good too but not as lux as the GX.
I’ve got a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe V6, best vehicle I have ever owned, 171,000 km on it, original spark plugs, great pick up for passing. Only ever being to the shop for a couple of minor recalls but nothing that has ever give any problems. Do my own brakes and oil changes regularly, just the regular update with tires and two vehicles battery’s, love it. People can’t believe it’s 13 year old vehicle especially with the pickup it has and gets excellent mileage as I drive from Canada to Arizona every Winter.
I was hoping someone would mention Hyundai! I have a 2013 Santa Fe XL that I bought brand new. I love it and yes, it sure has get up and go when you need it. I started parking it in winter after a couple years. I did not want someone to hit me and wreck it. Bought a 2002 dodge ram for winter driving. 😊
I have been driving Toyota Highlanders since 2002. It is a joy to drive, very reliable and no major problems. I highly recommend Highlander.
I had a 2003 Mazda Tribute that I drove to 314,000 miles. I loved that old SUV.
That's actually a Ford product the old Ford escape.
I still have a 2003 Tribute. Due to travel reasons, it spends a lot of time garaged. Just turned 73K miles. Still looks great and minimally worn interior.
Bought an 04 rav 4, for 6k cnd, with 160km in 2015, drove it until 2019 with 250km, and sold it for 5.5k cnd. With no issues other replacing the fuel pump. That shows you the reliability
I've owned 20 cars over my life, and my current 2008 Lexus GX470 with 145k on it is the best car I've ever had. Its put together so well, just change the oil and do the timing belt every 90k miles. It'll drive through any weather and road conditions with its full time 4wd. I don't drive a lot, so the 13mpg doesn't bother me. Plus It'll tow 5000lbs. I'm positive it will make 300k. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Send me one
Recently upgraded after my 2010 rav4 got totaled with only 136k miles to a 2019 xle premium with 118k miles and it cost me 19,500 plus taxes and 4 year 40k mile extended warranty. It looks, drives and shifts like new.
I’m a proud owner of a 2014 Toyota 4Runner with 302k miles on it. It had zero mechanical problems and looks/runs as it was new.
I just bought one and hope to have it for the next 6 years then give it to my son for his first car.

@@corrupttitlebuster6484 LOL. You think I’m broke, because I have a car that lasts? I choose to use my money smartly instead of wasting it on a car payment or on repairing some crappy flashy cars.

I have a 2007 Toyota Sequoia with 238,000 miles. It's had brake jobs, several sets of tires and spark plugs, and a serpentine belt, battery. Normal maintenance. Had to bypass kit the emissions starting pump and new straps for the fuel tank. Fairly normal maintenance for its age. It's as tough as a suv can be. I live in Wisconsin it's driven daily in over 100° temps in summer and in winter where I live i get 3ft of snow and -35° below zero. It always starts. I would buy a brand new one but not for the 80,000 price tag. It's a truck not a house.
I'm with you "not a house" 😎
Please if you can keep the older Sequoia please do this. Newer TS are just plastic . They are not as strong sturdy has the older models. The cost is another thing. The newer one,s are at least 60,000 dollars. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming , plus the planes and the great lakes. TS is the best machine. Its very hard to get quality ones in Coastal North America though.

2017 Honda CRV with 167,000 miles. No major repairs and no problems. Plan to keep it well past 200,000 miles. It’s the third CRV my wife and I have owned in 22 years of marriage!
We have a 2010 Sequoia with over 307,000 miles - all we do is the recommended maintenance. We also bought a used 2018 RAV 4 for our college aged son. He is very happy with it - so far no problems.
unfortunately most of the used car market has realized how well built all these cars are and have grossly increased the price of them to the point of almost matching the msrp of when the released, causing alot of people to be priced out of them.
Exactly. Like it doesnt make sense anymore why you would buy used if you can buy brand new for just adding a little bit more.
@@midnightfun1277bingo.
Seeing Pilots with 120,000 miles listed for $18,000 is just crazy.
@@midnightfun1277:- It was the waiting for the new models (sometimes almost a year) that made used autos look so good, and drastically increased the price of used.
Just before covid, l bought a used RAV4 at a Toyota dealer, for a very reasonable price. Then, just a few months later, my RAV4 (5 years old) was then selling for close to its new price...and this was totally due to the unavailability of new models on the showroom floor.
But yes, the reliability is historic and the vehicle has earned its reputation.

My 04 GMC Yukon XL has close to 300k on original engine and transmission and still runs strong. We literally drive it everywhere. It has rattles and the factory radio that's still installed sucks. The rear lift gate needs new shocks but that's about it. I purchased it from the 3rd owner for $3k when it had about 180k on it. Best $3k I've ever spent.
Those early 2000's Yukons are tanks
The newer Yukons are not as good. They are built much cheaper, if you like buying cars that run good for cheap I would recommend a scion xb they run so good and can be bought for a good price but you must look around

Thanks for sharing. Do you use regular gas/ fuel or premium? I am planning to buy it but due to fuel type requirement I am double minded…
I have been buying 100,000 km - 150,000 km used cars for the past 30 years and I have never had any problem that made me regret my purchase. With that I was able to save lot of money to buy 2 houses.

I bought a 2010 Toyota Highlander with 200K+ miles. It ran like it was still new. Absolutely no problems.
Still driving and appreciating my 2012 Honda CR-V, EX-l with 128k miles. Road trips are comfortable, economical, and fun (not as much as my motorcycles or MX-5 but still...).
I had a CRV with 237,000 miles on it when I sold it. The man is still driving it. I've had many Hondas through the years, but am now on my second VOLVO XC70. First one was a 2002. Current is a 2008 and will probably last me the rest of my life.
Great Job!!! I agree with your picks. Just to add a wild card to the mix I have found the Gen 9 Chevy or GMC Suburban/Yukon FROM 2000-2006, have been excellent. I owned 3, and still own a 2001 with 125,000 miles. The other 2 were over 200,000 miles.
I literally came here to say the same thing. 250k-300k miles not all that rare

I have own a 2003 5.3l v8. It a great machine.. 12 year trouble free of ownership .
My 2014 Honda Pilot just hit 200k. I got all the fluids replaced, got the transmission serviced. No major issues other than having to replace a sway bar, a collapsed engine mount and a missing bolt on the engine. Great build, great ride. Very quiet. Incredibly reliable. Current issues I have are that the rear shocks are getting a bit old and there is a very slow fluid leak around the front right axle.
I've taken this think up mountains, on unpaved forest roads. I did a road trip across the USA from Colorado --> Salt Lake --> Glacier National Park --> Maine.
I've got a 2006 sequoia, 257,000 miles, just had timing belt and alternator belt replaced as well as oil change& wipers. The Toyota dealer that serviced it, wanted to buy it.

My first SUV, a 2012 Subaru Outback (base model). I got it quite cheap, in January of this year with 225K miles, it now has 233K miles. Although it's not made for quick acceleration, it has no problem getting on the interstate, or passing cars on local roads. In 3,000 miles of mixed driving it used 1/2 a quart of motor oil and the CVT shifting is flawless. Living in Maine, I had the opportunity to experience the AWD system and it is just amazing.

@@captainamericaamerica8090 Hope they’re diesels or newer Triton engine. My 2000 V10 Excursion spit out two spark plugs, then it just got worse from there.

I am a mechanic and couldn’t fix it(discovered it needed two pistons at a minimum). Had to sell and buy a Toyota just to get back home. AVOID any Triton engine until 2004 and later. I believe Ford corrected the spark plug thread issue from then on. Triton owners, you’ve been warned.
I started a new job where I was told “we here like to buy American cars rather than them Japanese cars”.

@@lorireed8046 Dont see any Hyundais on ANY of these lists. I agree, in my experience, they are crap cars and mostly sell due to their 10 year warranty...which their dealers apparently hate. The couple of dealers I have encountered helping a work friend who has a Tucson were simply unscrupulous. They tried to charge her $3k for rusting engine rails. I argued there was supposed to be a warranty on a 3 year old car. I did a quick internet search and found there was a TSB on it and it should be fixed free. One conversation (threatening them) and they fixed it free but it soured me on that dealer. She also was totally pissed off and tells everyone and anyone that they tried to screw her. She is a single mom and pretty much lived check to check. I only got involved because I heard her crying and talking on the phone about the car and I had seen it and thought it was pretty new....sure enough 3 years old. She was a very nice lady but admitted she knew nothing about cars. I tried to teach her basics about oil changes, checking fluids and tires but she was afraid of all the mechanical stuff. I told her to sell it and buy a used Honda, Toyota or Mazda.
I can't believe people buy cheap Jeeps, I would NEVER
Remember: car companies often have several brands they place the same engine, transmission, and accessories onto mechanically. For example, the Honda pilot and Acura MDX models use the same Honda V6 VTEC engine and transmission with very little difference in accessories under the hood. My 2003 Acura MDX had nearly 200000 miles on it when I bought it, and I've put on it 60000 miles in two years including multistate road trips and a cross country move from the upper Midwest to the gulf coast and the Rockies, loaded to the brim, and a drive from Florida to Texas and back without issue. You can find out easily which different brands will use the same mechanical systems and if one vehicle is reliable, it's likely the luxury or consumer version of that company's Powerpack with be similarly reliable.
I leased new SUVs, sports cars, and sedans for many years. When I retired I bought a new 4Runner in 2016. She is such a pleasure to drive, and I feel so safe too. She only has eleven k miles, but I know she will take care of me and whomever takes the reigns afterward.
My Land cruiser prado 2.8 L diesel just hit 160,000 km or 100k miles. I only changed DPF under warranty, no questions asked no hassle at all. Other than that no issues what so ever. Ride and mileage even better than ever. Crazy reliability

The Toyota Land Cruiser is the most desired vehicle in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the NGO’s of the United Nations. What have they in common? Tough off road country usage, good service and spare parts and reliability. The only vehicle that costs as much ten years after you bought it!

The same applies here in gulf countries ( Saudi Arabia and neighbours ). The high price is the only issue.
@@zuhairjanbi1887 Absolutely, neighbor had one that was his wifes commuter car...to work, pick up the kids, lessons, back home...60-70 miles a day on an island.

Yes, agreed. I had a diesel land cruiser in Canada.
BUT this list is sort of budget, newer SUVs. A used Land Cruiser costs more than many new models.
Honda Pilot? Didn't start in 2003. Friends had them, with blown engines, under 100k miles, years before that. Honda didn't have a suitable engine, so installed Isuzu V6 engines. Which were good, except for the oil pickup that sucks oil from the bottom of the oil pan. They'd drop out, the engine would be starved of oil, and seized in seconds.
In the early 2000s, the Pilot was known as one of the least reliable cars in America. Not just embarrassing for Honda, who are known for excellent engines, but especially painful because the failures weren't their fault!
Fortunately for my buddy in Redmond WA, after launching a law suit at both his dealer and Honda America, he got the engine replaced at no cost. But it was a painful route to getting resolution.
Lamd Cruiser still looks and drives the same 20 years on - boring, thirsty, full of plastic panels, and drives like a bucket full of shiite. A Massey Ferguson tractor looks and drives better.
Not shocked the most expensive SUV's are the most reliable, out of this group. Driving habits, more regular maintenance etc. matter.

Multiple 02 Sensors and catalytic converter failing. I can’t afford to have my car at the mechanics every few months. Car only had 70,000 miles on it when I got rid of it. The worst. Lol
@@JermaineDFW yes maybe the non turbo ones . Everyone I talked to before buying lovedddddd their Subaru..the turbos engines are built differently and their design caused some problems. I guess I was just an unlucky one. It was incredibly unreliable and had so many issues and once the dealer screwed me on the warranty I paid a lot of extra money for I said that’s the last straw and went back to Toyota.
Thank you. The Subaru is a very popular car in Alaska for it's all wheel drive. But I never really liked it.😢
My first Toyota, a RAV4 was a workhorse! She never had any major issues, just routine regular maintenance. At over 360,000 miles, I gave her to my daughter who traded her in on a new 2019 Toyota Corolla which is still going strong. I bought a new Forerunner in 2012 and she now has close to 200,000 miles. Same thing-no major issues, just routine maintenance. We are a loyal Toyota family!
We bought a new 4runner in 2013, now has 160,000 miles with no issues, nothing but tires, battery, and brake pads. Still driving it.
