I'm writing this sitting in my 1965 Greyhound bus that was converted into a motorhome 35 years ago. It has 3.7 million miles on it!
Man, if that old girl could talk eh lol
Thats awsome! My brother in law converted a bus from 1948. Its on its second engine. Dont know the mileage but im sure its alot. Good luck with yours on your journey to 5 million!
That's cool, but that is not a car. That is something that was built to support a lot of miles.
Yet a new car won't last a month after the end of the warranty...
That is a Prevost, million dollar bus tho. The older ones don’t cost that, but are worth it.
That Grand National jacket April is wearing is awesome.
I’d like to see a GMYT episode on your experience at Barrett Jackson. What’s the prep like, are you nervous when the camera starts rolling, bloopers etc. I think that would be fun and informative.
Agreed
I'll third this!!
As a Ridgeline owner, they are boring, uninspiring, but reliable and practical. Great at what it is, a "truck" for people who need a truck but don't want one.
I've always called them the "perfect modern ubran truck". And obviously they were a head of the curve on this one, because the Santa Fe and Maverick are just copying their homework. The biggest issue with the Ridgeline is just the pricing point. Other than that - if we can't have small efficient usable trucks like we did in the 90's (i.e. Ranger/S10/Tacoma) the Ridgeline is the next best thing. Sadly, most people I see driving them are Senior citizens or near retirement.
I had a tundra, sold it, and now I have a ridgeline. It drives so smooth. The tundra felt like a school bus.
Efficient?
@@ryanr482 I said what I said. If you're trying to be pedantic, find a different audience.
@@Alof83 your pleasant. A one word response is not pedantic. I love Hondas but When a ford ranger gets simile or better mpg efficiency is hardly it’s main selling point.
I can say that my dad had an Escalade of that era. 365,000 miles of abuse. Towed and hauled above weight rating on a regular basis. My brother and I pounded on it regularly. That motor never skipped a beat. The only reason he got rid of it was rust. Midwest winters are tough. 😂
you know darn well how much we love the cat, Hoovie!
Love Nelix. Don't you dare banish her from the set.
Nelix should have her adventures on her own channel
Put a camera on her.
She doesn't go anywhere, they've already said in a previous video she lives in the studio because of coyotes and they don't want her in the house. She no longer gets out
@MrJuego She isn't immobile. She does go somewhere. She climbs, jumps, rolls around on the table, and rubs the various pieces of equipment in the studio. Not going out isn't equivalent to 'doesn't go anywhere '.
Cat is AWESOME!
Neelix is absolutely part of the team; I think she may need to renegotiate her contract to include her own chair. My 1983 911SC has over 180,000 miles and counting, and I know of several 911 drivers (mostly through the PCA) that have more than that. One couple has more than 500,000 miles on their 911 Turbo. Carroll Shelby famously said: "Thank god there's no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48 hour race. They're probably the only cars in the world that would stand up for something like that." As to the Niva (Lada 4x4), they were rusting on the assembly line...
And I bet that couple lived in MN
Love Nelix I’ll take him off your hands keep up the good work Tyler & April
Neelix is 2/3 of the show. Neelix stays or we go.
Great show, just let the cat wonder and add to the show, she’s harmless….
She is one of the stars of the show.
I love love love the Neelix and April and Tyler
Neelix is not annoying at all!
Hi Tyler, we love Nelix! Let her roam- she’s just happy to see you guys.
You guys brighten the gloomy winter days
Nelix is a part of the family. Nelix stays and actually needs her own chair next to April.
Hell no we love the cat
Next video we need a 20 minute red laser session with Nelix
Make it so!
My 05 Chevy Silverado 5.3L has 247,000+ miles on it. 180psi compression on all 8 cylinders still! 40psi idle oil pressure hot.
Best engine ever.
Many of the cars on the list seem to be ones that may not give the owner 250K trouble-free miles, but rather cars that are bought by people who would be likely to fix anything that goes wrong along the way.
If that is the case then I’d expect more Subarus on the list.
Yes, more Nelix!😀
More cat go Nelix
My 2006 Ford Taurus has 254,000 miles on it, so far. It still has the original engine and transmission, and the interior is fairly clean. I keep fresh fluids and filters in it, and detail the interior twice a year. I want to see how close to 500,000 I can get it. It may be boring and slow, but it's comfy and thieves hate it.
Neelix must stay!
Lada Niva 4x4 is usually clapped out by 200 thousand kilometers not miles. my dad had one for work and the engine at the end was eating oil at an alarming rate
Love the cat! Thx for the update on long lasting cars .. interestingly my 2004 Saturn VUE w 4 cylinder engine just passed 341,000 miles! Burns a little oil .. probably since I’ve owned this 20 years .. probably put $5,000 into repairs but that $250/year .. plus oil,tires
Love the cat. More cat.
I'm with you April Rose that the Buick Grand National was certainly the most important car that Buick had. It likely saved Buick from the ash pile of history. Great choice!
What about the GsX of the late '60s early '70s?
Neelix needs more airtime! The hoomans are taking her spotlight!
Agree, more Neelix not less!
“Nelix Cam” segment. Keep the cat she is great! Love the show!
Careful what you say Tyler. Also leave Neelix alone. She belongs to all of us now! April might trade you in for a Doug, Ed or Tavarish. 😂 As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Nelix rules! May he live long and prosper 🖖
Nelix is the secret star of the show!!
Definitely want more Nelix in the videos! Cats are rad! This is coming from a man who loves beer, motorcycles, cars, and all kinds of Freedom! I currently own 2 brother cats that I named Indiana Jones and Evel Knievel! Keep the cat in the videos.
Here's something you don't hear too often, certainly in Star Trek circles, but: MORE NEELIX!
😂🤣😂
The Neelix Show featuring April Rose and Tyler Hoover
Great couple! Great cat and camera man! The best channel!
The cat is one of my favorite parts of this channel
Cats make RUclips better!
Owner of a 2016 Porsche 911 here (991.2 - C2S and yes, the 991.2 was available as a 2016 model in the RoW) currently sitting on 83,000 mostly trouble free miles (2 new turbos last year and a new exhaust the year before, all under Porsche warranty!). As my daily driver doing 25,000 miles a year I fully intend to be the exception to Hoovie's proclamation that no-one would ever drive a 911 to 250,000!
Hmm...didn't the two new turbos automatically place it into the category of "won't make it"?
@@scottnunya2441 Depends on perspective I guess, the wastegates seized due road salt (exhaust failed due to road salt too, valve actuators to be precise but entire back box replaced). Perhaps in a sunnier part of the world it wouldn't be a problem.
Were’t the pics of a Cayman? But I think a 911 or 718 could do 250,000.
@@fellfaller Thanks for the response. I was referring to that if the turbos failed (I'm assuming wastegates are integrated), wouldn't that make the car undrivable, which means it wouldn't be on the list to make it 250K miles. After all, any car can make it to those miles as long as you repair anything that breaks.
@@scottnunya2441 Yes, integrated wastegates. Mine both failed in varying degrees of being open so minimal boost was being built. The car was still drivable just noticeably down on power. If they'd failed in the closed position there'd have been overboost and probably a CEL. But I agree with you, anything on the Jalopnik/Hoovies list isn't going to make it to 250,000 without some kind of repairs at some stage.
Nelix is great!
Good morning Nelix 🐈!
Jalopnik...I'm surprised it still exists.
They are kinda like "the drive". Just use other peoples stuff/opinions/content and re-word it slightly for their content. Then promoted the holy hell out of it on fb or whatever else for views. Honestly, the only major motor vehicle coverage I trust is Hagerty.
Hoover has caught the arm swing 😅
what does it mean
@@gossling77 couples will adopt each others mannerisms
@@MarkTheVicar ohhh now I get it
We need more cat
Add Toyota Tundra/Sequoia to the list, plenty of them out there with 300K+ miles on them. And yes, keep Neelix. She is a very welcome distraction. Scripts are boring, distractions are fun.
I'm 55. Planning on buying a new Lexus ES350 this year with the intention of driving it to the nursing home. It's a good bet.
Good car
That all depends on your driving habits. I own a 2010 RX450H that has over 275k on it. The car has spent it's whole life in southern Wisconsin, and it has been a great vehicle.
Good morning from Canada! It was nice meeting you and April at Barrett Jackson :)
I don't know why April hates the prowler so much I think it's a good looking car it's a modern interpretation of a 50s hot rod yes they're slow underpowered but I've seen people doing Hellcat and Hemi conversions on them
Love Nelix. Needs their own videos lol
If there's anything, Tyler, we NEED MOAR Neelix!
Edit: Love the old version of the Niva. Was used here by a local national park the last time Lada tried itself in Canada. The director (or whatever that position is called) argued that the workers totaled their 10 000$+ pick up as fast as those 2000$ Lada, so it was less costy to replace the Niva than the pick ups.
Great review !! So true on the high level of
Complication being the reason cars will never make it to high mileage.
The cat is the best part of the show. Just kidding but love cats. The cat should have a a diamond colar.
More cats please!
I have a '06 Kia Sportage with over 300k...I have an 05 Pathfinder with over 300k, a 99 GMC with 280k, and a 04 Tarus with 285k living in the Rockies all on original motors and trans...want a long-lasking car, its a simple thing...do the maintenance.
250k miles... how many owners? 1990s BMW 3 series; Owner 1: Bought new, a Doctor, golfs on weekends has a trophy wife. Owner 5: is maybe 20 years old, its held together with zip ties, Chinese eBay turbo and no muffler... drifts it everywhere, bought for $5000 with blown enigne at 185k miles in 2021.
We want more cat
Keep the cat. We love Neelix.
My ‘07 Chevy Express with the mighty 4.8 currently has 271567 mi. Still going.
Anything with the old school 350 Chevy V8 will live forever.
1995 yukon 2 door 4x4
223k and counting
and a turbo 400 trans
They actually used to have replaceable batteries for mobile phones. The manufacturers decided two things. 1. No more replaceable batteries so they can be better waterproof. 2. If they don't have replaceable batteries, then people are forced to buy a new phone so more money.
I was writing about the VW TDI when you mentioned it. I'm sitting in my Sportwagen TDI manual in a parking lot rn. I'm at 130k miles now. I had a 2000 Golf TDI that was run into several times it stayed in my family till about 350k. My mom had a 2012 Sportwagen that she sold back to VW during Diesel Gate because she already had over 100k in about 3 years and they gave her so much back that it didn't make sense to keep it. It was also a DSG which are great as long as the fluid changes are kept up on but they were expensive so some people skipped them. I also have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel. I know people say those were unreliability but I bought mine new have stayed up on the maintenance, especially do the fuel filters, and I am about to hit 190k with no signs of problems 🫰. My diesel truck will run a long time but that's not a surprise, it's pre-DEF. BTW my tag on my Sportwagen is DSLGATE
In Europe those generations of TDi are know to fail..... the late 90s early 2000s 1.9 TDi (Like Bora/Golf IV/Passat) can do 250k miles easy 400 k is not something special in europe. Those new VW are crap.... there were so many bulletproof diesels in Europe like the Citroen HDi 1.6 and 2.0, Volvo 2.4 5 cyl, Isuzu 1.7 in Opels, BMW M57 3.0 in E46 and E90, Benz OM648 inline6 (milion miles without rebuild), not to say about van engines which some can do 600k-800k miles easy :)
@wyrazowfkp the emissions system, even without the DEF can be a problem especially the EGR depositing carbon, the DPF getting clogged, and VW originally said either 130k or 150k miles to replace the timing belt but later put out a service bulletin to replace it around 100k. My neighbor has a 11 Sportwagen TDI DSG. She takes it to the dealer for everything and when I asked if they had recommended the timing belt she said no. It's in having it done now at around 110k. She just had an extremely expensive repair to the entire emissions system. I suggested letting me really "fix it" for a lot less, get better mileage, and be a lot more reliable but she didn't want to 🤷♂️. I plan on running my Grand Cherokee and my Sportwagen till they die. I have a lift at home and a decent amount of skills but also the knowledge to know when to take it to someone so I hope to see at least 300,000 out of both. I sold my last Silverado 3500 Duramax to a mechanic friend when it hit 300k because I use it to tow around the US and don't want to have any problems when I'm in the middle of nowhere. I got rid of a 2021 Ford F-450 Platinum after about 19k miles to get a 2009 Chevy Silverado 3500 because I had issues with the DEF system so I wanted something pre-emissions. I found one with 46k miles I'm at 115,000 now and think I'll keep it till around 300k again. I'm a huge diesel fan and wish we got more like Europe had. My best friend's dad had a 87 M-B 300 E TD when we were growing up. It went through him and his 2 sister's before finally getting junked at around 400k. Unfortunately the EPA here in America is doing their best to get rid of all the diesels and have been very successful. It's been almost a decade since you could get a diesel car here 😭
Agree with Hoovie on these. I sell Mercedes and have for 12 years.
AND HOW ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT APRIL’S AMAZING JACKET
Fun video, and always a pleasure seeing you two. I vote for Neelix staying... maybe even setup a third chair for her. 😄 Btw, if I'm not mistaken, we haven't seen a video with April meeting Wizard yet. I have to think it would be great fun to either do a segment over at Omega, or invite him to make a guest appearance or two...
I agree. You guys should have friends and or other RUclipsrs on the show.
It will make for great content.
And it should bring other followers over from their platform. So win,win, win!!!!😊😅😂
what part of the video do they talk about the cat?
Both of my kids drive a Prius, and neither of them are gentle with them...Yet they have 280,000 and 320,000 miles on them and they both are still going strong. The Prius is one hell of a boring car.
p.s.
I live in a bus with 480,000 miles and it's considered low mileage as they are designed to last 3 million miles.
There have been lots of problems with later Hemis failing due to lack of lubrication on the cam, if they are exposed to extended periods of idling.
Since I own a Maverick, I will say that the Hybrid is a bit of a stretch lasting 250,000 miles. To this day, they're experiencing issues with the hybrid batteries with the "deep sleep mode" on many 23s and possibly 24s along with other electrical issues. Not to mention the recalls on the first couple of model years. I have the Ecoboost Maverick which you forgot to mention that is relatively trouble-free. I have more confidence in that engine lasting 250,000 miles with the inevitable turbo replacements since none will last that long. The engine and transmission itself should be pretty durable considering this is a carry-over platform that they've used in countless other Fords such as the Taurus, Escape, Fusion and Focus. Some of the other cars on this list are completely out of wack, especially the Lucid Air. I don't know what they're smoking at Jalopnik but they need to get off of it ASAP!
Had to laugh at the 300 comments. As anyone who's owned a 1st Gen LX car will tell you all the stuff that breaks are the superior "German Engineered" suspension parts, ball joints, LCAs, things like the Clockspring, shifter interlock are also from the Merc parts bin and always fail.... The 2011+ cars got a bunch of re-designed parts that made them way way better.
More nelix! I love her! She is the star of the show
I drove the first year Ridgeline, a 2006 that had 238,000 miles on it when I sold it. It ran flawlessly - no transmission issues, engine was smooth from idle to cruising speed. All I ever replaced was the steering pump. They definitely aren't for everybody looks-wise, but the damn thing is bullet-proof!
As a LONG time Volvo enthusiast …. Geely (China) is the worst thing to happen to Volvo I would have almost preferred the mercy killing that GM did to Saab
2 - why no Volvo in the fleet? Other than that BEAUTIFUL V70 R wagon you got off Euro-Asian Bob that you surrendered to Elliot ?
My 1984 VW Vanagon had just over 640,000 when it finally bit the dust. It ran great right up until the day it died. Never had to do anything except wear parts. It still had the original clutch.
I've been binge watching the 6 days Barrett Jackson Arizona 2023. My family thinks I'm nuts. You should hear my wife imitate the auctioneer.😂❤🏁 Yall are awesome!
My daily jalopy driver is a VW Passat with the boring 2.5 engine. It's not stressed, it's well maintained and its the last VW engine that I trust. It, will make 200,000. Possibly 250,000 with a new PVC valve cover and new timing chain. I like non turbo, non direct injection engines for reliability. For my fun car I have Turbo, Direct injection Audi. That's good for possibly 80,000. Its that simple. Hard working low displacement engines are short distance runners.
Neelix is cool. He is a member of the team and needs not only to keep appearing.
HEY! My trailblazer has 172,000 trouble free miles on it and I LOVE it! .......and Nelix! So back off! Also a Toyota Prius will last beyond 250,000 miles as long as you don't run NITRUS through the engine!!!......... Yea...... I been a subscriber for a long time, sir! Don't think I forgot about THAT one! 😆😂🤣🤣 Love you guys! ❤
Yasss. Love GMYT. Ignore the haters hoovie. I think what y’all are building is awesome.
I can vouch for the 300. I had a Lyft a couple weeks ago in Austin, TX that was a 2016 300 with the 3.6. It had over 570k miles on it. It sounded rough and the suspension had to have been original, but it got me to my destination just fine and the driver was not light on the throttle 😅
As for Neelix,, the star. I only watch for it and a bit for the model as well!
Tyler, is the 2014 Audi A8L diesel included on your list along with the Volkswagen diesel you mentioned? My sister refused to give it up and is still driving it 10 years later, sometimes on 400 mile trips to visit family several times a year.
There used to be a time that you popped the back cover off your phone and put in a new battery. It was easy. And in the early days you could get replacement batteries with leds in a pot leaf shape at your local mall. 😂. The old Nokia days. As far as phones we went back in time.
The Mazda CX5 i think for it's class is the best exterior (i absolutely love the exterior design) and interior design, it definitely is a little underpowered but it's one of the better driving experience for it's class.
I think that, properly maintained, all those cars will last. But, the issue is that at some point, a minor component or circuit will fail and the repair cost will exceed the value of the vehicle
Tyler. You can never sell the Grand National! She will drop you in a heartbeat!
I LOVE NEELIX!!!
As the owner of an all original and stock 16K mile 1987 Grand National, I agree with April. Oh, and how did NOBODY list, or talk about the Toyota Land Cruiser? It's the ultimate 250K +++ mile long lasting vehicle in my book.
They know how to do replaceable batteries on phones. The problem is that they don't get the money from replaceable batteries like they do by making phones trash.
Kinda, but not really. The main reason swappable batteries disappeared was it added a lot of bulk to the phone, if you encouraged the battery be replaced you had to make give it a bit of a structure so you couldn't easily damage it and have a huge lithium fire. You also needed to make a "Compartment" inside the phone for it to reside. Just having a bare LiPO pouch inside the case makes it smaller or allows for a larger battery. Also, everyone wanted waterproof phones, and that's really, really hard with a swappable battery and slim at the same time.
That being said they sure as hell seem to go out of the way to make the battery non-serviceable on most of them, by making what could just be a few screws and a plate with a gasket.
@@PeterBellefleur I could care less about water proof or slimness. Give me a user serviceable device with an SD card slot and headphone jack --- or I'm not buying.
I love my Ridgeline! does what i need it to do, rides great and love the trunk, great gas mileage too, averaged 26mpg on the highway!
More cat! Turbo cat! 😊
That was a cayman not a 911
I hope they fired Jake for that blunder.
Good topic.
What are the factors of getting to 250k?
Major powertrain(engine, trans, now battery) should be a disqualifier.
With basic maintenance, brakes, tires, shocks, bushings, fluids and only fuel powered vehicle 12v batteries.
No major warranty work.
🤷♂️
My 10-year-old Tesla has 175,000 miles on it, original battery I’m sure it will make it too 250,000 no problem
Here in Australia majority of cabs have been Hybrid Camrys for quite a few years and for these 250k miles is low mileage. They usually replace the batteries with cheap aftermarket when the time comes for less than half the price of the OEM batteries.
As a former Ridgeline owner, had this survey been taken in 2019, no way would it make this list with that faulty-ass 6-speed transmission
It's the internet, no Neelix doesn't get on the Internets nerves lol
I'm telling you, get the Cat Whisperer Jackson Galaxy, make a video of it, he'll teach you how to get along with Neelix
Good lord. Is April’s response to everything “Buick Grand National”?!? I love how Hoovie rolled his eyes and said they were not great. I had a 1988 Monte Carlo, the body on that car was garbage; sagging doors, rust spots, horrible build quality.
The cat is the best thing about this channel. Star of the show.
I like your list Tyler !
All the Toyotas in my driveway are all 350 to 500,000 miles (siennas)on them , and we have the 4 generation vw tdi with loads of miles with an ALH
And now we just got a 6 and 7 generation tdi golf and Jetta with the CJAA all very capable of going 500,000 miles with proper maintenance
And the 4 runner 3rd and 5th generation are great as well😁
I generally keep my windshields cracked because I feel like Bill Paxton in Twister when I look through them.
