Sorry but purchasing a 294k mile vehicle is crazy. No engineering can defeat basic wear, time, or environmental factors. At 294k it’s not even just about the engine and transmission anymore, everything from the drive shaft to the frame will likely have significant wear.

The Honda Pilot is insanely reliable and can go a 500K miles plus, if you keep up with the maintenance. We have a 2011 Honda Pilot with 280k miles on the OD. It has the original transmission in it with no issues at all. The key to trans longevity is changing the transmission fluid every 50K… and the engine burns no oil between intervals.

In that time I’ve blown up my alternator, killed my fuel pump, had the battery weld itself to the hood, and blew the EFI main fuse. Every single time I had an issue minus the fuel pump the car started right up with minor field repair. I’ve put this car through hell as a rally car and have taken it to the hardest roads you can drive in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and California. It’s seen most of the US and with all the work I put into it I’m hoping I can get it to see the world.

Have a 2007 4Runner SR5 V6 I bought in 2019 that had 220k miles on it. Have 256k miles on it now and still going pretty solid. It did need some things in the first year or so of ownership, new power steering rack, radiator and brakes, but most of that's expected. Feel like it has less interior rattles than a lot of newer cars which is sad. Honestly I don't think it rides that badly either. I decided on a V6 rather than V8 since the V6 has a timing chain, but maybe a V8 wouldn't been a tad better if I wanted to tow more. I undercoated the frame and subframe areas with POR15 to help it last longer/keep surface rust off. Planning to keep it until either the engine or transmission goes.

We had a 1999 Toyota 4 runner 2 wheel drive, 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual transmission. We pulled a 2,000 lb tent trailer from southern california across arizona, new mexico, to colorado and into Utah. We even went up very steep roads sometimes at 25 mph. Pulling even that 1 ton trailer we got under 15 mpg. This smaller suv did the job pulling that trailer over 3,000 miles that trip. On flat interstates it can pull that trailer at near or over 70 mph. We sold our 1999 4 runner with near 200,000 miles for near $5,000 in the year 2018 for a nearly 20 year old vehicle. We had no problem selling our 4 runner for $5K. Without the trailer it got near 25 mpg and could cruse at 80 mph no problems. The better mileage was a speeds closer to 70 mph. The 4 runner had great ground clearance with lots of room in the back with the seat folded down. Incredible as it sounds we now have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan that will pull that 1 ton tent trailer even at 70 mph and gets near or over 20 mpg.

You omitted one of the best engines ever made . . . the bulletproof inline 6, 4.0 in the classic Jeep Cherokees !!! Mine is a 1996 XJ with 356,000 miles and purring like a kitten !!!!

The boxer inline 4 that Subaru uses

Cherokees in the late 90s were awesome vehicles. They have gone downhill since then.

My favorite car of all time was a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder just like that 4Runner. It was a dream. Sadly I live in PA and it was the rust that did it in. If I could drive something like that I would be a happy camper:+) God bless~

Agree! I do not understand people buying Mercedes... the proof is the Craig-List old Mercedes costs the same, as old other similar cars... and people are not buying those Mercedeses...

[@travelsouthafrica5048]

that's because there was a time a Mercedes was built to last 50 years or more and that is not true anymore , people look for quality , these days honda and toyota is a safer buy for long lasting vehicles

[@KaliAndy2]

people buy old used cars to save money and Mercedes parts and work is expensive.

[@peterjanosik3601]

@@KaliAndy2 You would expect that for the price of Mercedes, you would get a better quality car. The used car business shows you how reliable the car is - it does not fare well for Mercedes... the reason is simple, German cars in general are unnecessarily over-engineered...

[@KaliAndy2]

@@peterjanosik3601 big part of that is cost maintaining a car. $80k cars parts and labor will be a lot more expensive than 25k car. Old cars regardless how reliable they are will need maintenance. If you buy a car with 150k miles stuff like alternator, fuel pumps etc will need to be replaced at some point. Alternator for cheaper car might be $80 for parts and easy to replace. For luxury car it might be $500+ plus labor. People who buy old cars are generally tight on money and can't afford expensive upkeep of a luxury car. And people who buy luxury cars generally have money and don't want to buy an old one.

[@peterjanosik3601]

@@KaliAndy2 I think we do not understand each other. The problem is that German car makers are cashing in on the pool of people that understand the necessity of unnecessary engineering (and car logo). I am not sure though if those people realize that the resale value of old Mercedes drops a lot more than the resale value of other luxury cars. Practical people make practical decisions.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

I have a 2021, and I'm in love with mine too. They had to give me a rental when they put on new tires because they didn't balance them right the first time, they gave me a 2023, and literally nothing is different. They were supposed to get a redesign in 2022 but I guess that got pushed back. I drove a lot of very nice cars before I bought the 4Runner, and now I wouldn't trade it for a Mercedes.

I took my camry in for snow tires. The guy told me that one of the rims were bent, but he was able to tweak them. I told him that makes sense, because my 16 year old daughter drives it.

[@greggc8088]

Steel wheels are fairly easy to tweak back straight. Aluminum doesn't like to bend back without cracking. And most techs don't like to put the tweaking in writing because of sue happy lawyers looking for any ridiculous reason to get a payout.

[@peternorthrup6274]

Picked up a 04 expedition 2 years ago. It's a real nice high mileage southern truck. $3,000.00. I'm currently bringing it back to new condition my budget is $10,000.00. 1 more year and it should be done. I'm retired. All new suspension, large off road tires. Winch. You name it it's been replaced. New paint soon. Then I will register it. It's been a great project. I will have an almost new truck to travel the country. A new 1 is almost $80,000.00. Who cares about mileage. It's paid for. In the future I think your going to see lots of people do what I'm doing. I've had several people wanting to buy it. No way. Have fun.

Love my MDX! Alot of vehicle for the money. You are spot on with MPG's 16-20 mpg in comfort mode. The body line's are nicer than the pilot. . So far so good.

[@n808sgarage]

Scotty how can you rip the odyssey and praise the mdx when they both use the same drivetrain components? I got rid of my mdx mainly because it has that stupid timing belt and got a 4runner. Even with 285's my '18 4runner gets better gas mileage than my '06 mdx did

[@MILGEO]

I had a 2005 4 Runner SRV 6 cylinder that was the best vehicle I've ever owned! I loved that truck and bought it new. It had surprising acceleration! The body was still clean in 2015 with 75,000 miles on it when I discovered holes in the frame! I wound up trading it in for way more than I expected to get. I got a 2015 Rav-4 which is just not anywhere near as good as that 4 Runner was! The new one's in 2015 seemed much too big for what I needed so I got the RAV-4..

What! No Lexus RX! I am just passing 300,000 on my '99 RX 300 and it runs like it is new.... Also acquired a '17 RX350 and just reached 45,000 miles. Fact is... these are the least expensive vehicles I have ever owned because that are so reliable! Sadly, I learned the hard way about reliability after owning money pits from Land Rover, BMW, and Mercedes Benz....

Land Rover wins for most trips to the dealership. BMW and Mercedes charge astronomical prices for cheap, plastic parts.

Totally agree! I have a 2013 RX350 F Sport and I love it! Has a little over 100,000 miles and runs like a top. It’s the third one I’ve owned. They last forever and still look like new. I don’t pay any more for repairs then I did on my Toyotas. They are a bargain in the long run.
