In the past, when automotive technology was less advanced, a car was considered durable if it lasted just five years. However, with technological improvements, modern vehicles are built to last much longer. With proper inspections and maintenance, a car today can easily last for a decade or more.

American consumers, known for focusing on practicality, have traditionally kept their vehicles for extended periods. According to the market research firm iSeeCars, around 6.1% of vehicle owners keep the same car for 15 years.

In the U.S., where many consumers are known for keeping their vehicles for extended periods, durability is a crucial consideration when buying a new car. Recently, iSeeCars analyzed 402 million vehicles to determine which models will most likely reach 250,000 miles (approximately 402,336 kilometers).

The study involved gathering and analyzing average mileage data for various vehicle models and calculating the likelihood of each model reaching 250,000 miles. The results showed that, on average, only 8.6% of cars achieve this milestone. However, some models stood out with a likelihood of surpassing 250,000 miles, more than four times higher than the average.

With a 36.6% chance of reaching 250,000 miles

Toyota models predominantly occupied the top positions in the durability rankings, with pickup trucks and SUVs—known for their greater longevity compared to sedans—emerging as the most reliable choices for long-term use. Among vehicles weighing less than 3,800 kg (8,378 pounds), the standard for light passenger vehicles in the U.S., Toyota’s full-size Tundra pickup truck led the list. It had a 36.6% chance of reaching 250,000 miles (approximately 400,000 kilometers), 4.2 times higher than the average.

Close behind, the Toyota Sequoia, a large SUV built on the same TNGA-F platform as the Tundra, had a probability of 36.4%. Sharing many components with the Tundra, the Sequoia also demonstrated notable durability. While pickup trucks and SUVs showed durability rates of around 36%, sedans generally had lower probabilities of reaching the same mileage.

Toyota Avalon ranked first among sedans with a 400,000 km (about 250,000 miles) sustainability of 22%, which is four times the average for sedans. However, the figure was more than 10% lower than pickup trucks and SUVs. Accordingly, consumers who plan to maintain their vehicles for a long time will likely prefer SUVs and pickup trucks over sedans. 

Considering all vehicle types without the light vehicle weight restriction, the Ram 3500 topped the list with a 42.6% chance of reaching 250,000 miles. This figure is 2.2 times higher than the average for pickup trucks, highlighting the long-term reliability of these vehicles. Following the Ram 3500, brands with the highest probability of reaching 250,000 miles include Toyota at 17%, Honda at 13.6%, Ram at 11.5%, GMC at 11.4%, and Chevrolet at 10.5%.
