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.

10. Subaru Forester; 09. Honda Pilot (2009-2015); 08. Toyota Highlander; 07. Lexus RX350; 06. Toyota RAV4; 05. Honda CRV (2012-2016); 04. Nissan Armada; 03. Toyota 4runner; 02. Toyota Sequoia; 01. Lexus GX460

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.

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.

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 had a 2003 Mazda Tribute that I drove to 314,000 miles. I loved that old SUV.

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.

I bought a 2010 Toyota Highlander with 200K+ miles. It ran like it was still new. Absolutely no problems.

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 😊

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.

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.

Jeep and Land Rover owners leave the chat room (when discussing reliability)

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 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.

Great information. Your video has made my vehicle buying much easier. Thanks! :)

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

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.

Thank you! SUV Geek video was very informative, and everything was explained well.
