Ranked: Most Reliable Cars That You Can Practically Drive Forever
CEOWORLD magazine has released a comprehensive list of the top 20 car models known to have the longest lifespan on the road. To compile this list, they collected data from virtually every reputable car tracking media outlet, carefully selecting models that were still in production after the 2023 model year. While these vehicles are expected to outlast other models, it’s important to note that they come with a premium price tag. Impressively, 12 out of the 20 selected models have base sticker prices that exceed $40,000, making them a significant investment.
It should be noted that certain vehicles, particularly larger SUVs and pickup trucks, may have estimated annual fuel costs exceeding $3,000, according to reports from the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. It is worth mentioning that fuel cost estimates were not provided for the biggest pickup trucks, as they were exempted from government testing.
