210,000 on my 4x4 Mitsubishi mighty max and the head cracked because it overheated when a hose blew. I drove it another 10,000 with no coolant until I finally pulled the head off and welded the crack. It was up to 280,000 when I gave it away to a neighborhood acquaintance who was down on his luck and needed a vehicle. He still drives it around today. I miss that truck.

Ditto about checking out central and south America to see what cars last. Without fail the most beat up reliable mule is the great old Toyota pickup. That’s where my fantasy car resides as well. The diesel Toyota Hi-Lux 4 door pickup.

My first experience with a Toyota Hi-Lux 4 door was in El Salvador many moons ago. I feel in love with it. You could not stop it. Great vehicle. I wondered for a long time why this car wasn’t available in America.
