My friend has a Chevy Silverado with 500 thousand miles on it. And he uses it everyday. Another friend has the same truck with 180K. My Tahoe has 105K. All these trucks have had no major problems except for my buddy with the 500k the transmission was replaced twice. I was just curious if American trucks and suvs have a bad rap but are really quite reliable.

buddy of mine has a 83 Ford bronco w/ over 800,000miles had the head cylinder replaced and minor tranny work but that's the major work. original tranny, and original motor, for the most part minor work. as long as you keep up on the routine maintenance they should last just as long if not longer than a jap car

Treated well, not raced, minimal use of brakes, gentle cornering, using quality lubricants, fuel and filter, many cars will last for quite unbelieveable mileage.
Sorry, in my country we dont have many US cars, but we have many Ford & GM Australian cars, and the usual European & Japanese brands. I have seen a Toyota Corolla diesel wagon, owned by a courier, that had travelled 1.2million kilometres, around 800,000 miles, in 15yrs. It was pretty well finished, I met the guy as he was trading it to a 5yr old Corolla wagon.
Reliability is up to the owner, with a bit of luck thrown in.
