**Everything else is worthless**

I have 2 chevy blazers, 4d, 2wd. One (2001 bought in 09 with 94k miles) with 306k, with no major repairs ever. Quite reliable.

And one (04) with 260k (bought in 2020). The engine has 145k. I was told the previous owners wife drove it with a leaky water pump and baked the original motor. They bought a used 4.3 and sold it to me weeks later. The engine is a freak: 60 psi oil pressure, oil changes at every 5k yet the oil level is barely off the full mark. Replaced the fuel pump two years ago, otherwise reliable.

90 chevy silverado k1500, 182k, 4x4, exd cab. Don’t put 5k a year on it, also reliable.

07 Highlander, 3.3v6, awd, 307k. My wife’s rig. Very reliable until the 4th timing belt snapped at 305k miles, with less than 70k on that belt. Valve interference engine. (I decided to just change the belt that time since I replaced all idlers, seals, and water pump at the previous belt job.) Has a faint valve tap, so my wife just uses it for local nowadays. She doesn’t trust it, lol.
