My 2013 Suburban just turned over 300k miles. Bought it new and have never worked on the 5.3 engine. I have replaced 2 alternators, multiple tires and brake jobs, a water pump and just last summer the AC compressor and a new battery. Most trouble free car I have ever had. Do I hear 400K?

That’s the kind of longevity GM engines were known for if they were given regular oil changes and other normal maintenance. You better hang on to that trooper..
Got a 2009 cobalt...337,000 miles..running ok on engine additives,.....engine should blow soon....except it doesn’t...replaced water and fuel pump...one rear brake job, alternator, some smog system solenoids...never thought any inexpensive car like that could last so long...still can pull going uphill if I downshift...
I guess that makes up for my daughter's 2014 Captiva that has 180,000 miles and is on its third engine, one of which lasted for about 5,000 miles. The 2.4l flex engine is a piece of crap in my opinion. The Captiva is nice enough other than the engine which is rumored to be a pretty important part of the vehicle.
Last GM product that I will ever buy. Based on family experience, I have already sworn off Chrysler products. Guess I'm stuck with Fords and imports. Fortunately, unlike others I have known, I've had good luck with Fords. Ran the wheels off a 2001 F150 SuperCrew. Very good vehicle despite my spotty maintenance practices. Finally, replaced it with a used but well-cared-for 2010 Explorer Sport Trac with 4.6l v-8. Most trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned.
