2000 Ford Expedtion. To be fair, we've only had it 14 years but we bought it in 2010 with only 44K miles from an older couple. It just hit 200K. We don't drive it as much now and only use it as a backup.

I got 13 years out of a 5th gen 4 runner. No major repairs. Did have to replace some door parts, a light assembly, the alternator, a door hydraulic and such. But there were no repairs to the engine or transmission and it was still running great when I sold it.

Goal is to keep the new purchase for 10 years.

Pretty much Lexus product should do that easily.

RX - family member took one over 350k
LX - these will last well over 250k
ES - multiple family members over 200k

I don’t expect the current gen with hybrid function to work as well long term however. Toyota / Lexus generally take awhile to figure out and perfect something and while the Prius has been very reliable as a taxi platform, I don’t think the larger platforms will be as cost free longer term as large expensive batteries require replacement at predictable intervals.
