You are very welcome David, great choice on the possible purchase as they are really great machines. I really can’t ignore the market because SUVs dominate right now.

Listen I get it I've owned both not a Suburban but an Escalade (same body style) and I agree it has to do with what you like-for ex.I like the Escalades 2005 -2010 vet in those yrs.I hated the styling of the earlier Expeditions but I like 2010-2021 and of course it's a Ford.These cars and trucks have been selling like hotcakes all models!I was looking at a used 2008 ESCALADE to ESV with 178,000 miles.I test drove the truck as is only a couple of days ago waited a day went back and that truck was gone already.These cars and trucks have been flying off the shelves!
Yes the Escalades are sweet and even Stellantis is trying to get in on large SUV market.All of the these trucks and SUV'S are flying off the shelves.Stellantis is coming out with the Grand Wagoneer,a name plate that Jeep hasn't used since 1991.The company realized that the Grand Cherokee's body style and designs are outdated so your smart to come out with a bigger SUV with a newer design are redo the Grand Cherokee also
all things considered, I would bet my life on the land cruiser. I lived in the middle east for 30 years and believe me when I tell u, the land cruiser is the favorite 4x4 simply because it is very reliable, is easy to maintain, and of course, has killer resale value. It's called the king of the road and I totally agree. I had a land cruiser Prado 2008 model myself and it was awesome.
RX 330 is technically a crossover of car + truck, not an official SUV. but I’ve had mine 9 years with no problem, they run forever engine is bulletproof
@@realpilBMF It's a body on frame small SUV, so it's design is solid... I prefer my FJ Cruiser or Tacoma though.... the Lexus is my wife's 'baby'......
@@gwats19577 I agree with the others, the RX is a crossover unibody, not a true body on frame SUV. Benefit of body on frame is all torsional stress and flex is absorbed by the frame, not the body, like during off road or heavy duty towing.
Love Toyota… I remember back in the day when me & my husband were still dating. My husband drove a small 1980 Toyota pick up truck 🛻. (Toyota kijang bak, that’s what they called it). The miles went back to 000 and still running until his family sold it in 2010. Never once overhauled.
I have a '07 suburban four wheel drive chevrolet Suburban. I keep all maintenance up to date. Got 247,000 before the engine management system failed. Causing cylinder failure. I went with full time v-8 for my replacement engine. The drop down running boards. The only drop back in winter when they get iced up can't use them they are frozen in place go fixed rather than retractable running boards.
@@soundmoneystacker2787 Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are correct. Correctly following the maintenance ie oil changes, you can get 200 K or more miles. And of course, some manufacturers of turbos are better than others: Honda and Toyota. Nissan’s quality dropped when Nissan merged with Peugeot. Happy motoring.
@@soundmoneystacker2787 Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am sure that there are turbos that can last 300-400K miles, but generally speaking, they do not OMHO.
Land Cruiser is legend. When my dad meets my mom first time, he did buy one 2000 Land Cruiser. My mom says every single day he picks her run all around the town from morning to night, from year to year till now I come to the life. At age 17, I never seen any car which has clocked over 476k miles.... no wonder my mom is right. He takes his best friend go everywhere he wants. Something points out my dad's car is different cause there is golden Toyota logo in front and Land Cruiser badge is golden as well in back. I don't know what it has golden emblem instead silver one. I did ask my dad why don't he trade that Land Cruiser and get LX600 he looks at me and says WHY DON'T YOU BUY ONE.... GET ONE FOR YOURSELF.... ...😅😂😂 I was speechless after that..
I’m weary of a Ford 3.5 turbo pulling 5000 lbs being long lasting? Maybe the Ford naturally aspirated engine yes. I have an 06 gx470 with 215k still solid.
The only two problems I have with Lexus is the nearest dealership is 45 minutes away and they have a high theft rate in my area, so I would be very worried about it getting swiped.
I'm noticing most of these are very large, which is typically a vehicle taken on very long highway trips. Highway miles are far easier than city miles, which may skew the mileage figures in favor of large vehicles. Just sayin'.
Only 16% percent have made it over 200,000 miles? That's hardly a recommendation. Practically everything makes it over 200,000 miles if properly maintained.
200.000 miles is 321.860 km, that’s nothing. My Volvo S60 from 2002 did last month 200,000 miles and it’s still going strong. Important to do the service every x miles.
Hi Mark for me personally great video, you and I have discussed possible vehicles for me that interest me, I like the large SUV type, Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition, I know you do a ton of research to create the videos and share your knowledge with us, THANK YOU VERY MUCH my friend, stay safe and Hi to the family please 👍😎🇨🇦
I have a tough time with the dependability question and the price tag $100 thousand dollars new, I'll keep looking for a 2-3 year old, thanks again, need big SUV to fit the St Bernard's into 🤣🤣🤣
They are a pretty swanky machine for sure and I think Escalade is a bit pricey especially when 95 percent of the luxury is available in not luxury GM vehicles such as denali 1/2 tons
The LC 300 3.3 V6 diesel 10speed has 2 turbos on the top of the engine.. do you think that it have same problem in the BMW 4.4 V8 that it coock the head gasket & the valve seal because of the excessive heat of the 2 turbo?
Mark: thank you for this video, with the GX460 having a compression ratio of 10.2:1, I saw a youtube video showing that because the compression is below with 13 or 11, regular octane should be fine. Unlike the RX400h with a compression ratio of 13, it requires premium. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
@@antonio576 It would be great if someone would comment so we can get some input on this...I have a 2021 GX...and I realize that I pay the "reliability tax" at the pump each fill up...but the gas mileage is terrible....(currently running top tier premium from Costco in USA) THANKS!!
@@wjvlodek8769 I’d say you just go with regular 87. These engines were designed to run to 87 octane from the get go. You might lose a couple horsepower but it’s not enough to be noticeable. Premium is OPTIONAL not required.
The GX 4.6l requires 91 or higher. These engines are fine tuned to run smoother and quieter. The engineers at the Lexus plant in Japan know what they’re doing and if you don’t believe me check the OM.
I've been wanting a 4runner for a while now. I'll more than likely end up getting a 5th Gen right when they announce the 6th Gen. Unless I like what they do with the 6th Gen, whuch means I'll wait 2-3 years after it launches.
300k miles used be normal for a lot of models. Toyota makes a good engine even today. They’re partnering with Subaru. Problem with a lot of these “300k mile” cars? RUST!! Lack of maintenance kills most models in any brand. Thanks man.
I would not bet on that Ford or GM making it past 150k. The older ones say 2004 and older yeah, but these latest models are not the same. GM especially has had really high engine failure rates before 100k miles. Eco-Boost engines are a crap shoot you might get a good one and you might get a bad one. I am a former GM loyalist that hates Ford, but if I had to choose between those 2 you showed here I would buy the Ford the ECO-Boost has its issues, but the new GM engines are not past GM quality IMO:P Rest of this list I agree 100%
The old Suburbans last longer than the new ones. Yeah the new ones have great looks and features, but you can't put GM anywhere close to Toyota as far as mechanical reliability and overall quality.
Can anyone explain the reasoning behind a skylight in the roof of a vehicle? How is having the sun shining in as you drive the deserts highways of AZ or CA a must-have item??? Or are you driving in some manner where you have to see through the roof to know where you are going? I see nothing but negatives in the things, and it is now pretty much impossible to find vehicles that don't have the stupid window in the roof. BTW: Has anyone made a skylight for cars that didn't eventually leak? Oh, the inevitable leaks make then even more "fun". If I ever drive in a manner necessitating a window in the top, I probably need improved driving skills more than I need that stupid roof window.
Some unibody SUV's can actually last more than that especially the 4 cyl RAV4 and the (Canadian only) first gen Nissan Xterra was unlikable I've seen at least two past 200k too bad they end up rusting 😈 *When I traded my RX330 for a crappy brand new Forester it had 344000km (207k miles) and it was like new except the seats and gearshift...
Chevy Suburban, hands down. Suburban/Tahoe or GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, I won't have anything else. All the 5.3L Vortec and all the other Vortec engines have been very tried and true and known the just keep running. That's been the case even since they'd been started in the 1990s. 2 of my local car mechanics have confirmed that to me while they had more 5.4L fords in their shops for more expensive and major repairs more often. I also feel it's the best best decision for me is because of he soft spot I have for stuff like Jaguars, Porsches, smaller BMWs, Classic Mercedes Benz's, Ferraris and many other exotics. And choosing the super affordable Chevy Suburban with the durability and often unbeatable reliability can really make up for whatever extra money would get spent on a Jag, Porsche, or Ferrari or whatever else of those. I'm having serious thoughts about actually getting an '04-06 Suburban or Tahoe or GMC's equivalent. 1999-2006 were the years most recommended by another RUclips Mechanic named "Car Wizard".
@@robwwhit3453 Awesome. And I take it that the motor has never been re-built but still starts right up and no to no oil consumption. Which of the motors does it have, 5.3, or one of the larger motors? There is an '01 Suburban on one of the used car lots in my home town that got my eye. It has some where from 170-180K miles on it and has the 8.1 Liter engine. And the asking price is $7K. I'm seeing a lot of the shorter wheelbase Tahoes with 3 rows of seats which takes up about all the room, so I may lean more towards the suburban which may may have 3 rows or just 2 and more room to put things in it.
@@kevinhabener1279 It has the 5.3 with the original 4l60e trans, neither have been touched just regular maintenance. The engine sounds like a swiss watch with the hood up and running. Definitely get the Suburban, same gas mileage as the Tahoe with a better ride and space, tons of space with the seats in the rear folded down! I've put 12' long thinner building materials in it from the dash board to the rear with the rear hatch and window closed!
I would say Toyota Land Cruiser 300 was absolutely insane, period , 2022 LC300 looks better than before , you have a V6 twin turbo engine comes with 650 newton meters of torque and 409 horsepower, have excellent interior design, big screen 12.3 inches, Apple CarPlay android auto available, and capacity is rugged, and more fun suv to drive , I still there in Qatar 🇶🇦, I see a lot of them , land cruisers are excellent but it’s too expensive 😂 Anyway, if you wanna see real land cruiser, come to Middle East like Qatar UAE or sth…
GM... It's the quality issues. Inexpensive? I don't think so. For how much they cost it should be built better. Everything you touch just feels cheap and will break. Had an 08 escalade - never again. Bought an expedition this time. The Ecoboost is faster and gets better mpg than the 6 liter V8 that was in the GM.
All of them are body on frame designs
Bingo, thanks for sharing. Pinned

Listen I get it I've owned both not a Suburban but an Escalade (same body style) and I agree it has to do with what you like-for ex.I like the Escalades 2005 -2010 vet in those yrs.I hated the styling of the earlier Expeditions but I like 2010-2021 and of course it's a Ford.These cars and trucks have been selling like hotcakes all models!I was looking at a used 2008 ESCALADE to ESV with 178,000 miles.I test drove the truck as is only a couple of days ago waited a day went back and that truck was gone already.These cars and trucks have been flying off the shelves!
@@derrickjohnson5219 New Escalade was so sexy compared to Range Rover Vogue but I not sure GM cars are reliable.
Yes the Escalades are sweet and even Stellantis is trying to get in on large SUV market.All of the these trucks and SUV'S are flying off the shelves.Stellantis is coming out with the Grand Wagoneer,a name plate that Jeep hasn't used since 1991.The company realized that the Grand Cherokee's body style and designs are outdated so your smart to come out with a bigger SUV with a newer design are redo the Grand Cherokee also
so years ago I was walking around a Toyota lot and looking for a vehicle that was
made in Japan, and I found only one The 4 Runner
I am hearing a lot of new tahoes/yukons are bending pushrods. My buddy just had one go at 4000 miles in a Trail Boss 5.3l
I always learn something new from watching these videos. Probably just always have to buy a used vehicle though. Thank you.
all things considered, I would bet my life on the land cruiser. I lived in the middle east for 30 years and believe me when I tell u, the land cruiser is the favorite 4x4 simply because it is very reliable, is easy to maintain, and of course, has killer resale value. It's called the king of the road and I totally agree. I had a land cruiser Prado 2008 model myself and it was awesome.
They are amazing vehicles for durability
I was in LA in 2019 and I hired a Chevy Suburban! Beautiful Car!
You forgot about the Lexus RX350... bought one for the wife, and the thing is basically bulletproof....
RX 330 is technically a crossover of car + truck, not an official SUV. but I’ve had mine 9 years with no problem, they run forever engine is bulletproof
@@realpilBMF It's a body on frame small SUV, so it's design is solid... I prefer my FJ Cruiser or Tacoma though.... the Lexus is my wife's 'baby'......
@@gwats19577 The RX is not body on frame. Its unibody. This it's a CUV.
@@gwats19577 I agree with the others, the RX is a crossover unibody, not a true body on frame SUV. Benefit of body on frame is all torsional stress and flex is absorbed by the frame, not the body, like during off road or heavy duty towing.
@@refineme I stand corrected.
Thank you. This was very informative. Starlight to the point and no BS.
I own a 2009 Subaru Outback 4cyl engine with 471,000 original miles. I bought it with 67,000 miles in 2014 for $7800. I drive it everyday.
Sounds like a win
3.9% of 4runners make it to 200k miles? That’s supposed to be impressive? Give me 75%.
thought that number was waaay off. Should be much higher.
Love Toyota… I remember back in the day when me & my husband were still dating. My husband drove a small 1980 Toyota pick up truck 🛻. (Toyota kijang bak, that’s what they called it). The miles went back to 000 and still running until his family sold it in 2010. Never once overhauled.
Great vehicles. They were little work horses and in a good way
Body on frame design is common feature of these most reliable SUVs.
Love your research and content Thank you for sharing ❤️
I have a '07 suburban four wheel drive chevrolet Suburban. I keep all maintenance up to date. Got 247,000 before the engine management system failed. Causing cylinder failure. I went with full time v-8 for my replacement engine. The drop down running boards. The only drop back in winter when they get iced up can't use them they are frozen in place go fixed rather than retractable running boards.
I love that Sequoia... I'd trade my FJ Cruiser for one but my wife would divorce me!!! LOL!!
You are not ready for upgrades....
@@osuk1 I don't need any...
Great video! Honest, informative and you present it with style👍👍
Thank you so much Johnny, greatly appreciated. Hope you are having a great day.
Great review sir !! What you think about 2021 grand Cherokee limited X ? Because I’m about to got one
Beautiful vehicles. There have been some issues with these in recent years but nice to drive
@@ECPP .. thanks for responding, I was wondering I never seen you talking about grand Cherokee in your channel?
Good report!!!
Thanks
2013 Lexus GX 460, 118,000 miles and going strong just regular maintenance, nothing else!
Nice
Avoid turbo engines if you want longevity.
Not true there are a lot of turbo engines that will go 300k to 400k miles
@@soundmoneystacker2787
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, you are correct. Correctly following the maintenance ie oil changes, you can get 200 K or more miles. And of course, some manufacturers of turbos are better than others: Honda and Toyota. Nissan’s quality dropped when Nissan merged with Peugeot. Happy motoring.
@@bobkloth57 my friend's 2021 Honda accord had headgasket problems these turbos wear out the engine real quick
@@soundmoneystacker2787
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I am sure that there are turbos that can last 300-400K miles, but generally speaking, they do not OMHO.
What engine you recommend for a suburban?
Is a BMW X1 2011 6 cylinder 2.5l awd one owner with 85000 miles reliable and durable and a good buy?
Land Cruiser is legend. When my dad meets my mom first time, he did buy one 2000 Land Cruiser. My mom says every single day he picks her run all around the town from morning to night, from year to year till now I come to the life. At age 17, I never seen any car which has clocked over 476k miles.... no wonder my mom is right. He takes his best friend go everywhere he wants. Something points out my dad's car is different cause there is golden Toyota logo in front and Land Cruiser badge is golden as well in back. I don't know what it has golden emblem instead silver one. I did ask my dad why don't he trade that Land Cruiser and get LX600 he looks at me and says WHY DON'T YOU BUY ONE.... GET ONE FOR YOURSELF....
...😅😂😂 I was speechless after that..
I still have my 06 Volvo XC90 that is 240k miles and still going, my 98 Volvo S70 lasted for 320k miles before my wife ran it out of oil.
What is it with women and dryness?
what do you think about the toyota land cruiser prado
TOYOTA AND LEXUS ALL THE WAY
I’m weary of a Ford 3.5 turbo pulling 5000 lbs being long lasting? Maybe the Ford naturally aspirated engine yes. I have an 06 gx470 with 215k still solid.
I need a truck with a large truck. What large truck you recommend? I’m driving for Uber black
Commonality is to maintain your SUV regularly but Toyota is the King of reliability
True
Do you do any videos on North American vehicles .....like Ford or GMC and so on?
You bet I do. Thanks for watching
So much fun information
Thanks
I have a Volkswagen Tiguan with over 200,000 miles. I noticed your jab.
even scotty kilmer (a german) wouldn't recommend a VW
The only two problems I have with Lexus is the nearest dealership is 45 minutes away and they have a high theft rate in my area, so I would be very worried about it getting swiped.
That definitely could be a factor
You're better off buying something not reliable because they don't want to steal it and then break down and get caught
I was wondering what about Subarus ?? Any good ??
Too many bad engines
@@ECPP I was looking at the 2021 Forester any comments?
I'm noticing most of these are very large, which is typically a vehicle taken on very long highway trips. Highway miles are far easier than city miles, which may skew the mileage figures in favor of large vehicles. Just sayin'.
Only 16% percent have made it over 200,000 miles? That's hardly a recommendation. Practically everything makes it over 200,000 miles if properly maintained.
200.000 miles is 321.860 km, that’s nothing. My Volvo S60 from 2002 did last month 200,000 miles and it’s still going strong. Important to do the service every x miles.
Surprised the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX wasn’t on there. I see those SUV’s all over the highway’s in Northeast still running from the earlier 2000’s
Lol my 96 Rav4 has 600,000 miles and keep goin strong 😁😁😁
96 t100 truck. 410000 original everything. Mid 90 s Toyotas are bulletproof
My 2006 ford expedition xlt
214000 miles still run good
Any motor or transmission work or major problems???
Hi Mark for me personally great video, you and I have discussed possible vehicles for me that interest me, I like the large SUV type, Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition, I know you do a ton of research to create the videos and share your knowledge with us, THANK YOU VERY MUCH my friend, stay safe and Hi to the family please 👍😎🇨🇦
I have a tough time with the dependability question and the price tag $100 thousand dollars new, I'll keep looking for a 2-3 year old, thanks again, need big SUV to fit the St Bernard's into 🤣🤣🤣
Would highly recommend Expedition over Escalade even with Ecoboost because ride comfort and are superior and have owned both currently own Expedition.
They are a pretty swanky machine for sure and I think Escalade is a bit pricey especially when 95 percent of the luxury is available in not luxury GM vehicles such as denali 1/2 tons
The LC 300 3.3 V6 diesel 10speed has 2 turbos on the top of the engine.. do you think that it have same problem in the BMW 4.4 V8 that it coock the head gasket & the valve seal because of the excessive heat of the 2 turbo?
Mark: thank you for this video, with the GX460 having a compression ratio of 10.2:1, I saw a youtube video showing that because the compression is below with 13 or 11, regular octane should be fine. Unlike the RX400h with a compression ratio of 13, it requires premium. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
I would generally agree and a static compression ratio over 10:1 needs premium even with modern knock sensing.
@@ECPP thank you Mark, so if you bought a 2021 GX 460, which octane would you use. Thank you
@@antonio576 It would be great if someone would comment so we can get some input on this...I have a 2021 GX...and I realize that I pay the "reliability tax" at the pump each fill up...but the gas mileage is terrible....(currently running top tier premium from Costco in USA) THANKS!!
@@wjvlodek8769 I’d say you just go with regular 87. These engines were designed to run to 87 octane from the get go. You might lose a couple horsepower but it’s not enough to be noticeable. Premium is OPTIONAL not required.
The GX 4.6l requires 91 or higher. These engines are fine tuned to run smoother and quieter. The engineers at the Lexus plant in Japan know what they’re doing and if you don’t believe me check the OM.
I've been wanting a 4runner for a while now. I'll more than likely end up getting a 5th Gen right when they announce the 6th Gen. Unless I like what they do with the 6th Gen, whuch means I'll wait 2-3 years after it launches.
300k miles used be normal for a lot of models. Toyota makes a good engine even today. They’re partnering with Subaru. Problem with a lot of these “300k mile” cars? RUST!! Lack of maintenance kills most models in any brand. Thanks man.
You are absolutely right.
Big engines, big vehicles that are basically trucks with body on frame construction..... & gas guzzlers.
I would not bet on that Ford or GM making it past 150k. The older ones say 2004 and older yeah, but these latest models are not the same. GM especially has had really high engine failure rates before 100k miles. Eco-Boost engines are a crap shoot you might get a good one and you might get a bad one. I am a former GM loyalist that hates Ford, but if I had to choose between those 2 you showed here I would buy the Ford the ECO-Boost has its issues, but the new GM engines are not past GM quality IMO:P Rest of this list I agree 100%
Thank you very much for watching.
@@ECPP I love your content man it is a pleasure:P
1st gen and 2nd gen escape,mariner and tribute can easily do 300k+. new fords i don't trust them past 100k
All body on frame designs the real truth in durability
This is kind of ridiculous. They are 2021 and we don't know if they are going to last 200k or more unless they have them on the odometer right now.
You’re recommending a Ford twin turbo v6 over a hemi? Are you nuts??
Holy crap is Scotty your dad? There's alot of toyota on here😅
He definitely is not but I know what you mean. Cheers
My driveway: RX350, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, and a Camry...
What's your opinion on the 2017 rav4?
I have a 1996 Toyota RAV4 with 220,000 miles on it. Very reliable...
I agree with you 💯
how about vw touareg tdi and bmw x5 35d ?
junk and expensive junk
Soooo....Body on frame Toyota engines. Got it!
Yes
My dad's car have 320,000 mile that's Toyota corolla 2006 ce it's working great for now
My explorer sport 300,000
Everything original
thank you so much i have learned alot from your videos )) ,
can you please mention x4 m40i 2021 !! im looking forward to get it , or i should not :D
SUV's have sensible ground clearance.
I’d like the Lexus GX to have 22” rims
Surprised to see a Ford on the list. My experience with Ford Explorer was not good. I ended trading it for a toyota 4 runner
The old Suburbans last longer than the new ones. Yeah the new ones have great looks and features, but you can't put GM anywhere close to Toyota as far as mechanical reliability and overall quality.
The recent addition of cylinder deactivation has really reduced the LS engines reliability and lifespan.
Can anyone explain the reasoning behind a skylight in the roof of a vehicle? How is having the sun shining in as you drive the deserts highways of AZ or CA a must-have item??? Or are you driving in some manner where you have to see through the roof to know where you are going? I see nothing but negatives in the things, and it is now pretty much impossible to find vehicles that don't have the stupid window in the roof. BTW: Has anyone made a skylight for cars that didn't eventually leak? Oh, the inevitable leaks make then even more "fun".
If I ever drive in a manner necessitating a window in the top, I probably need improved driving skills more than I need that stupid roof window.
I agreed with you one hundred percent.
What about the Highlander
$90,000 for a new expedition? Just wait and buy used a year old one for $25k.
Haha, I totally agree, that’s how I roll
Don’t buy one with the 3 valve 5.4 V8.
@@atx-cvpi_99 yeah the 5.4 was awful ton of issues
Some unibody SUV's can actually last more than that especially the 4 cyl RAV4 and the (Canadian only) first gen Nissan Xterra was unlikable I've seen at least two past 200k too bad they end up rusting 😈
*When I traded my RX330 for a crappy brand new Forester it had 344000km (207k miles) and it was like new except the seats and gearshift...
I have a 2013 sequoia, I love it
Don’t forget the Infiniti QX56 it’s a very good example.
Chevy Suburban, hands down. Suburban/Tahoe or GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, I won't have anything else. All the 5.3L Vortec and all the other Vortec engines have been very tried and true and known the just keep running. That's been the case even since they'd been started in the 1990s. 2 of my local car mechanics have confirmed that to me while they had more 5.4L fords in their shops for more expensive and major repairs more often. I also feel it's the best best decision for me is because of he soft spot I have for stuff like Jaguars, Porsches, smaller BMWs, Classic Mercedes Benz's, Ferraris and many other exotics. And choosing the super affordable Chevy Suburban with the durability and often unbeatable reliability can really make up for whatever extra money would get spent on a Jag, Porsche, or Ferrari or whatever else of those. I'm having serious thoughts about actually getting an '04-06 Suburban or Tahoe or GMC's equivalent. 1999-2006 were the years most recommended by another RUclips Mechanic named "Car Wizard".
My wife's 01 suburban is at 260k still going strong with all original drive train.
@@robwwhit3453 Awesome. And I take it that the motor has never been re-built but still starts right up and no to no oil consumption. Which of the motors does it have, 5.3, or one of the larger motors? There is an '01 Suburban on one of the used car lots in my home town that got my eye. It has some where from 170-180K miles on it and has the 8.1 Liter engine. And the asking price is $7K. I'm seeing a lot of the shorter wheelbase Tahoes with 3 rows of seats which takes up about all the room, so I may lean more towards the suburban which may may have 3 rows or just 2 and more room to put things in it.
@@kevinhabener1279 It has the 5.3 with the original 4l60e trans, neither have been touched just regular maintenance. The engine sounds like a swiss watch with the hood up and running. Definitely get the Suburban, same gas mileage as the Tahoe with a better ride and space, tons of space with the seats in the rear folded down! I've put 12' long thinner building materials in it from the dash board to the rear with the rear hatch and window closed!
2:20 Lexus GX that's a Toyota Prado diesel in Asia.
I would say Toyota Land Cruiser 300 was absolutely insane, period , 2022 LC300 looks better than before , you have a V6 twin turbo engine comes with 650 newton meters of torque and 409 horsepower, have excellent interior design, big screen 12.3 inches, Apple CarPlay android auto available, and capacity is rugged, and more fun suv to drive , I still there in Qatar 🇶🇦, I see a lot of them , land cruisers are excellent but it’s too expensive 😂
Anyway, if you wanna see real land cruiser, come to Middle East like Qatar UAE or sth…
Nice
GM... It's the quality issues. Inexpensive? I don't think so. For how much they cost it should be built better. Everything you touch just feels cheap and will break.
Had an 08 escalade - never again. Bought an expedition this time. The Ecoboost is faster and gets better mpg than the 6 liter V8 that was in the GM.
Talk about MDX 2019&2020
You bet
I heard even CRV are pretty reliable they last long around 400K and 300K what you think? I’m talking about 3rd GEN.
Toyota and Honda are the best.
My 05 Sequoia has over 200 k.
