Reliability is one of the main characteristics one looks for when buying a new car. Drivers want to be sure that the auto is not prone to sudden breakdowns and can provide a reliable ride. Of course, force majeure situations happen, but experts say that some brands have a higher reliability rating.

Experts have conducted a new analysis of the car market to calculate which autos can travel more than 400,000 kilometers. According to iSeeCars, the average car has an 8.6% chance of reaching that mark, but cars in this top 10 list easily reach 15, 20 and even 30% in some cases.

Top 10 reliable autos

  1. Toyota Tundra
  2. Toyota Sequoia
  3. Toyota 4Runner
  4. Toyota Tacoma
  5. Toyota Highlander Hybrid
  6. Honda Ridgeline
  7. Chevrolet Suburban
  8. Toyota Avalon
  9. Lexus GX
  10. Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Toyota Tundra

As you'll see, this list is dominated by Toyota. But no Toyota vehicle is more historically reliable than the Tundra pickup truck. The Tundra has a 36.6% chance of driving more than 400,000 miles, which is 4.2 times the average. Still, reliability is a growing concern for modern Tundra owners, as the company plans to replace 100,000 faulty engines in the 2022-2023 Tundra and LX models.

Toyota Sequoia

In second place behind the Tundra is the three-row Sequoia. Toyota's largest SUV has a 36.4 percent chance of traveling 400,000 miles, which is 4.2 times higher than average. However, the newest Sequoia is facing Tundra-like problems. Toyota has recalled several thousand 2023 and 2024 model year Sequoia due to unexpected movement when shifting into neutral.

Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner ranks third on this list with a 26.8% chance of covering 400,000 miles, 3.1 times the average. The 4Runner has long been a staple of Toyota's lineup, with the last fifth-generation model being discontinued in 2024 after a hugely successful 15-year run. The new Toyota 4Runner 2025 is scheduled to go on sale next year.

Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma remains the most reliable mid-size pickup on the market and one of the most reliable vehicles you can buy. It has a 26.7% chance of covering 400,000 miles, which is 3.1 times the average. Hopefully, the latest fifth-generation model will prove to be just as reliable in the long run.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The Highlander is Toyota's tried-and-true three-row midsize SUV. It's been in the lineup since 2000, with the latest fourth-generation model debuting in 2019. But it's the Highlander Hybrid that ranks in the top five in terms of reliability. It has a 25.9 percent chance of reaching 400,000 miles, which is 3.0 times the average.

Honda Ridgeline

Finally, not a Toyota. The Honda Ridgeline pickup truck ranks #6 on the reliability list with a 25.8% chance of running over 400,000 miles. That figure is 3.0 times the average and matches the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Chevrolet Suburban

The Chevrolet Suburban ranks seventh on this list with a 22% chance of traveling 400,000 miles, which is 2.5 times the average. The Suburban has been around since 1935, and the latest 12th-generation model debuted for the 2019 model year.

Toyota Avalon

Although Toyota no longer sells the Avalon (it has since been replaced by the Crown), the durable sedan ranks eighth on this list. According to the study, it has a 22% chance of reaching 400,000 kilometers, which is 2.5 times higher than average.

Lexus GX

With a 20.7% chance of reaching 400,000 kilometers, the Lexus GX is 2.4 times the average. The GX has been in the Lexus lineup since 2002 and recently received major changes for the 2024 model year.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Rounding out the top 10 is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The study reports that owners of Silverado 1500 have an 18.8% chance of overcoming the 400 thousand kilometer mark, which is 2.2 times higher than average.
