Longest-lasting vehicles in America
Americans drive a lot. Collectively, we put, on average, more than 13,000 miles on our cars each year, according to the Department of Transportation. Because of this, a vehicle’s ability to travel long distances without major problems is a huge aspect to take into consideration when it comes time to purchase a new one.
iSeeCars.com, a website that aggregates 30 million used car listings from all around the country, recently running through the numbers on 13 million vehicles that are currently on the road to determine which last the longest.
Head through to see the vehicles that are achieving the 200,000 mile mark at a higher percentage than others. It’s important to note that while these are the vehicles that have stood the test of time up until today, we can’t guarantee future results if you decide to opt for one of these from a current model year.</span>

Yet another big SUV from General Motors on this list of the longest-lasting vehicles in America is the GMC Yukon.

There are many trim differences between the two SUVs, and, in the case of the Denali, a bigger, more powerful engine. These changes could account for the difference in ratings.</span>
