This truck starts at about $39,965 and has a good chance—around 36.6%—of reaching 250,000 miles. It's got the i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine, cranking out a cool 437 HP and 583 lb-ft of torque. If you go for the base twin-turbo V6, you'll get 389 horsepower.

The aluminum-reinforced composite bed is tough against dents and rust, and that 10-speed automatic transmission is surely built to last. In fact, Motor Trend mentions impressive durability, with a 100,000-mile test truck showing minimal wear on important components.

Toyota Sequoia

Consumer Reports did some independent testing and found this SUV is the most reliable out there among full-size options. Its adaptive suspension system, which includes load-leveling tech, is what keeps the ride smooth even after hitting 200,000 miles.
