  • What truck buyer doesn't want their Ford, Chevy, or Toyota to last as long as possible?
  • Car search engine iSeeCars.com identified the trucks most likely to drive 250,000 miles.

Trucks are expensive. Buyers may want some assurance that the vehicle's they're spending their hard-earned cash on will stick around for the long haul — not head to the trash heap prematurely.

For that, look no further than iSeeCars.com's latest study on vehicle longevity. The car search engine studied some 260 million vehicle sales from 2012-2022, crunched the numbers, and figured out which cars, trucks, and SUVs are most likely to rack up 250,000 miles or more.

When it comes to pickup trucks, heavy-duty models win the day. Not exactly the kind of vehicle you want to run all your errands in. Fortunately, some more practically sized models made the list too.

According to iSeeCars, the average vehicle has an 11.8% chance of hitting 250,000 miles. For trucks, that's 25.9%. These 16 models are most likely to keep on truckin' the longest.
