This Vehicle Is Now the Most Dependable in Minnesota

It used to be that you were lucky to drive a car until it reached 100,000 miles but not anymore-- in fact, THIS vehicle is the one most likely to hit twice that here in Minnesota!

Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but we could also be the Land of Over A Million Vehicles because that's how many cars, trucks, and SUV's are currently licensed to drive the roads, highway,s and interstates in our fair state. Specifically, Statista says there were 1,690,015 vehicles registered in Minnesota in 2024.

Thanks to a survey by the folks over at iSeeCars.com, we now know just which make and model vehicles are the most long-lasting both here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and across the country.

Their new survey has a lot of information and looked at a lot of data (like 13.8 million cars!) to determine which make and model vehicles were the most likely to reach 200,000 miles. Living here in Minnesota apparently gives us an advantage, too, because the study says we're ranked 6th in the nation for having cars more likely to reach 200,000 miles.

Now, hitting that milestone is a pretty rare occurrence. In fact, the study says that less than 1 percent (it's actually .8% if you're getting all technical) of all vehicles last that long. But not this car. Well, actually, it's an SUV.

Because, here in Minnesota, the Toyota Land Cruiser tops the list of long-lasting cars, with 15.7 percent of its vehicles reaching 200,000 miles. And fellow SUVs, including the Toyota 4Runner, the Honda CR-V, and the Toyota Tundra, round out the list of the top five list of vehicles most likely to hit 200,000 miles here in the Bold North.

Even if you don't drive one of those vehicles listed above, it's nice to know that most cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today will still last a lot longer than just a few years ago.
