5 SUVs That'll Last FOREVER (Most Reliable Engines) 

Toyota 4EverRunner

Absolutely that engine will never die as long as you do regular maintenance just so well built. I have a forerunner and two of my friends have forerunners. I bought a forerunner because my friend has one with 620,000 miles give or take a few hundred miles. He’s always traveling around has went everywhere pretty much hit every trail in the Northwest every desert in the southwest almost no rust just some scratches and a few dings from rocks and the occasional parking lot door. Ding. It’s really safe to buy used one with 200,000 miles. You can pick them up pretty cheap you’re gonna probably get 200,000 more just do the maintenance that’s all you have to do.

Any well maintained japanese car will last a long time

Then get it stolen, then shipped to either Africa, China or the UAE 💀💀

In the Nordic countries you can't buy such a car. Gas and diesel prices 2 euro/litre, about 7.5 USD/gallon, yearly roadtaxes maybe over 2,000 USD/year. Toyota doesn't even try to sell them! RAV4 and Toyota HiLux are the biggest Toyota sold in the Nordic countries, maybe they sell 10-20 Landcruisers, too.

My dad's Camry was made in Kentucky, and was still running like new when I sold it at 400,000 kms.

They are solid for sure

So much for "Support the economy, buy American!"

@@alansach8437 hey. Don’t shoot the messenger. If you don’t believe me, just watch Scotty Kilmer. He says the same thing and he has 50+ years of mechanic experience.

@@alansach8437 sorry but I want my truck last long lol

Wow that’s a great run. Still good for many more too

Cheers

Thank you very much Don, I really appreciate that. Hope your week is going well.

For only 26k miles I would certainly hope you haven’t had any issues! That is barely over 6k miles per year.

Better run well at 26k. That's not many miles.

agreed

I like KROWN RUST

Just put a car cover lol

Absolutely Had 5 cars in 63 yrs 2 from Atlanta and Despite through Tuff coat or Zeibart within 3/4 they rusted out. The worst was a Mazda GLC,/Mercury Tracer wagon ( Ford Escort).

any model year of 4 runner. It is build for last long and seemingly it's doesn't change much about engine, it built for stay last long, the next change will be 2025 with 4 cylinder and turbo. I won't take its model year. 2024 or older model years are far better, if you don't mind about mpg. Guaranteed first 15 year ( if you buy 2024) you just need change oil regular, brake and fill up gas to go.

@@khakimal thank you i really appreciate how for your idea👌

I appreciate that!

I have a Murano 2006 whit 290K so far no problem still going strong I have never change transmission fluid n I'll never do it I don't care what dealer said, engine oil change just synthetic around 8000k no more than that all this info is in kilometer good luck whit ur Murano.

GM and Ford turbo engines are actually pretty good now. Toyota will work through issues quickly. The 2.4t has been out for several years now. Toyota had a 2.0t in some Lexus models and it was reliable.

Basically buy Japanese and stay away from American and British scrap

@@AliAlo-pc5ud If QDR is a top priority, definitely stay with Japanese.

Not bad. I like the way they drive and the newer generation of engines is much better so to me it’s worth the gamble.

@@ECPP Thank you for your answer ✌️

Krown

20000 is pretty good for a Mercedes. My s550 was shit by 20k and I sold for 5k just to stop the bleeding. In a ls450 lexus again and I will not look back

It's good

So the truck has had 46,000 per year put on it? Absolutely amazing.

Totally a durable unit. Run it to failure can get tons of miles.

Got an ‘04 RX330 AWD..45,500 runs like a top

See that’s not ideal

@@ECPPYeah, I switched from Honda to Subaru because Honda Motor company that made the most reliable engines in the world for 40 years dropped the ball and Subaru fixed their head gasket and oil leak problems. Toyota still making rattle traps at $38,000. Subies CVT now going as much as 300,000 miles if you change the fluid every 50,000. Nothing like driving a Subaru with their low slung engines and real all time all wheel. A used Subie vs used Toyota, I would gamble on Toyota. The reason being that Subaru requires perfect maintenance while Toyota doesn't. I really like Mazda for their drive trains and sportiness but the CX5 I test drove lacked handling feel, driver seat comfort, real usable cargo compared to the 2022 Forester Touring that I purchased. Like I said, the 2022 Rav4 I test drove rattled like a 1961 Ford Falcon Wagon. I'm old, I got to have quiet, comfort, top safety and top handling. 25,000 on my Forester Touring and still makes me smile every time I drive it.

some are suggesting using higher octane to keep it under control.

@@tracy2762 You can find it on the internet. Honda engineers got this bright idea to only cross hatch the very top and bottom portions of the cylinder walls to create less blow-by. They not only did it to the turbo blocks but did it to the non turbo of same dimension blocks to save money. Then they went on to lying to customers about the oil consumption. They brought the cars in and changed the software settings to slightly lower boost. Just 3 months later the cars were consuming oil again. It's one thing to screw up an engine design, yet another to lie to customers as if they were Ford. One thing about Toyota is they admit to their screw ups and take care of their customers.

@@tracy2762 one of the main reasons of buying an economy car is to avoid premium gas.

My 2014 CRV Touring is awesome

The 2019 keeps popping up as a year to avoid in both the Highlander & the RAV4

The CVT only belongs on an All Terrain Vehicle

Work horse

Great run

We will see, yes not out of the woods yet, although getting. Better

With a turbo it is a good idea to let the engine idle before shut down because the coolant can cool the turbo better.

@@mikefoehr235 well I always like to let it idle for a few minutes to put the defroster when it’s cold on, and when it’s warmer I’ll let it sit for about 30 seconds and then I’ll go.

My Accord touring 2018 just blew hot air. Dealer gave an appointment to fix for free because it is a recall AC condenser. Fixed recall seat belts buckets last year and this September to fix recall fuel pump, no charge.

@@lthai1000 I should be getting that recall done at some point this fall I believe is when Honda said the parts will be available. So far no issues with that.

More or less yes. If driven easily and maintained they can go a long time. Some oil burning though

No

RAV4-Primes are made in Japan🇯🇵👍

On this navy I would go Ho da Pilot

@ECPP thanks, everyone. I have asked have said the same.

In Canada? I don’t think in the U.S.

@@golferpro1241 Definitely Canada bro, had a guy who got his RX truck stolen 3 times in one year

We have an Acura tl, Toyota Yaris and a Toyota Tundra sitting safely on my driveway. No one comes near them. 🇺🇲.

Yeah but its not just about you chief, there are thousands of owners of these cars out there that have experienced thefts. check the police records@@pip393

Thanks.

Solid unit but it needs timing chains and now this crankshaft issue put a stain on the reputation

@@ECPP Timing belt not chain. Who cares? Have one put in every 100K, that's an issue? Regardless, millions lasting longer than most of these others, it should be on the list. You're using recency bias. It's your channel but I still think it's a huge miss.

A little maintenance goes a little g way

I've read that the 1.5 ltr is overstressed and won't last. Best to stick with the larger 2.4 ltr engine.

You bet

Yes. A few top end cooking leak issues which can be dealt with but I really a very long runner. Excellent vehicles

No dog

For sure

Really? 100,000 miles per year

@@ECPP yes they drive for work delivering medical stuff. Also has a rav4 for personal use

Yes

Yes it really does

Great setup

Reliable

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Awesome little unit

Not true.

thanks

Doesn't mean that the vehicle needs to be scrapped. A reliable vehicle that is well maintained should also depreciate less, so if the owner wants something newer or different, it is easy to trade up.

Well…..

Exactly, that’s no accident

Subarus are not on the same level of durability. Only thing Subaru has is their superior awd and more space in a ugly station wagon

Me myself and I

Thanks for sharing

Nissan is partly owned by the French government. Most Nissan sold in North America is built in Mexico. Quality is sub par.
