We all want reliable cars. However, with the current state of the auto market, the need to buy a car or SUV that lasts is more important than ever. The growing popularity of SUVs makes more sense now that the top three most reliable vehicles are all large, three-row SUVs. Can you guess which of the family haulers are the most reliable vehicles on the market?
The Chevy Suburban is one of the most reliable vehicles ever made.
The Suburban is a staple. This monster three-row SUV has been picking up the entire football team and bringing them a CC Pizza since the drive home. In fact, the Suburban is the longest-running, continuous-use nameplate in automotive history. The name first appeared in 1934. Since then, the Chevrolet Suburban has served children.
According to gear patrolthe average Chevrolet Suburban has a potential lifespan of 265,732 miles, making it the third longest-lasting vehicle on the auto market.
Never sleep in the Toyota Land Cruiser
If you are interested in 4×4 SUVs or reliable vehicles, then you will know the Toyota Land Cruiser. This hard-nosed 4×4 is the epitome of reliability. Countless land and off-road platforms have been built on this platform.
Like the Suburban, the Landy has been around for a long time. The world was introduced to the first Land Cruiser in 1951. Ever since, we’ve been in love. Aside from multiple iconic designs over the years, the Land Cruiser’s toughness and reliability cemented it as an SUV icon until the end of time.
The Toyota Land Cruiser has an average lifespan of more than 280,000 miles, making it the second longest-running vehicle.
The Toyota Sequoia is the longest-lived vehicle in the world
Gear Patrol named the Toyota Sequoia the longest-lasting vehicle on the market. The stipulation is that the models tested had to be sold for at least 10 of the last 20 years, and the mileage of the top 1 percent of each model would be tested. The models would then be ranked from smallest to largest. The study showed that the top 1 percent of Sequoias tested had driven at least 296,509 miles.
Unlike 4Runners, Land Cruisers or Tundras, Sequoias aren’t always the most loved or talked about Toyota models. However, based on this study, perhaps that should change. Sequoia is the new face of reliability. Long live the Sequoia!
Fun fact: 10 of the two longest-running vehicles were Toyotas.
