I cannot independently verify their experience with 2012-2022 toyotas as i am still driving my 2004.

What no FIAT or Dodge...

Glad you could afford a "new" one, I'm still driving my 2001!

There are 2 Ram trucks on that list.

I think I had the only 99 Camry that had an engine failure. all the rest of them are still on the road.

I had a 95 Camry go Three Mile Island on me lol

if there was a way to separate the Cummins powered models from the Gasoline versions the number would be alot higher for the Cummins Rams..

Any vehicle can last 250K if the owner is willing to care for it and spend money on repair as neded.
A one ton pickup is not kept as a thing of joy or for its comfort or luxury.
It's a work vehicle and made to be used and abused.
Dented up bodywork and faded paint are not factors typically considered in deciding when one of these needs replacement while most drivers of personal transporation are a little more sensitive to the aestetics.

I think I would reword your post to say" most one ton pickups are kept as a thing of joy, and for their comfort and luxury- yet they are designed and built for work and to be used and abused, that is why they have a longer average life than their non heavy duty vehicle counterparts".

it is also worth saying most 1 ton pickups are so expensive to replace spending 5000 dollars to fix it and keep it going is a viable option whereas when the average automobile gets to the point you need to spend 5 grand to fix it, you'll probably toss it and get another. At least that is my take on it..

Freind of mine has an auto towing company... he uses 1 ton dually's, usually Rams w Cummins... his truck tows a 45 foot enclosed gooseneck trailer with 2 cars in it most of the time. he average around 100,000 miles a year... when these trucks get up around 600k on them he starts looking for a new one. I know he still has his first Ram, its from the 2000's, it is past 800,000 miles , it still runs but it is mostly a spare to use around his farm. The truck is since retired, think it is close to 600k now, he has a 2021 Ram now. Mean to ask him how many miles are on it.

this is the odometer from his 2014 Ram 3500 when he hit a milestone.

Of note, I have three F-350s. I only use them for towing, and they are setup for different trailers. I would like to retire two of the F350s, but their replacement cost makes that super prohibitive, as I only use them for towing trailers. 2002 F350 V10, crew cab, 4.3 gears, gooseneck, 4wd. 2007 F350, 5.4, standard cab, RWD, 8 foot bed. 2015 F350, 6.7L, 4wd, super cab, cap on eight foot bed.

3 of them... wow. I have a 2016 Ram 3500, but its just broke in at 126,000 miles. I bought it for towing too but I drive it just for the hell of it.

 

[bullwinkle]

I wonder how they verified those-I can’t believe a Pilot could outlast a Camry, or a Corolla!

Pilot being a CUV type vehicle & Camry/Corolla being a car makes a difference.

The Chevy Avalanche came in 17th overall and 8th in the truck class….and GM stopped building the Avalanche a decade ago! Having said that, my old 2005 Avalanche has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned and just rolled over 238,000 miles.

Most of them have salvage titles.

I had a 95 Camry go Three Mile Island on me lol

Assuming you don't mean that too literally, so did my sister-in-law's '94 Camry and my niece's '97 (all the same generation).

its worth saying a Avalanche is nothing but a Suburban with a pickup bed.. or maybe its part Tahoe and Silverado.. but yeah, they should hold up as well as any other Chevy Pickup.. don't even know why they consider it a separate model.

It got hot enough to warp the block AND head, but otherwise remained in one piece lol
