2006 Tacoma. Also have a 2010 Acadia. I have spent more to that it running than the Tacoma. Yet, I am looking to purchase another GM product. I seem to like its style better.

I've owned GMC. It ran well and was durable, but was a rattle box. For generations my family had been Ford people. I broke the mold. The last Ford we bought was a frustrating lemon. I've bought Toyota since and haven't been disappointed. Amazingly reliable and long lived.

Wifes daily driver is a 2009 Australian made Falcon, has 150k on it. It will probably be the last of a long line of falcons we have had going back 40 years given Ford Aus ceased production in 2017,
Cheap and reliable could pick them up second hand at around 5 years old with 60k on them for about 15% of new vehicle cost, Previous daily driver made it to 300k before being retired, the barra motor in them are probably the best 6 cylinder ever made, 4-liter 24 valve double overhead cam with variable valve timing 250hp in base trim and almost indestructible. The last one was retired due to gearbox throwing itself into limp mode, more than likely just a sticking solenoid, reset the error codes would have it driving well again for a day or so before going back into limp mode. Motor was still strong despite the 300k not using oil and would quite happily still bounce off the 6500rpm rev limiter.
Have seen 36mpg on the highway at 75mph with 4 people and luggage but around 30mpg is normal.
Other than the bigger BMW and Mercedes there are no large 4 door rear wheel drive sedans still available in Aus, Ford, GM & Toyota all stops manufacturing in Aus within 2 years of each other as everyone decided they needed SUV's.

I bet it’s the lowest mileage car here.

I’ve driven older high mileage cars most of my life. Now that I’m retired I drive newer vehicles. I currently own a 2017 Subaru Outback Touring with 55K miles and a 2020 Ford Transit Limousine Conversion with 48K miles.
My Outback now has 89.3K and the van has 64.5K

2000 Ford Taurus. I bought it about 7 years ago as a stopgap back and forth to work car for me, that the Pup could drive if needed. I've always gotten manuals for myself. A year or so later I picked up the new Camry (first new car we ever purchased). I retired a year later and haven't seen the need to replace the Taurus. It's getting to that point when anything semi major will relegate it to the junkyard, but until that time, I'll keep driving it. Heck, I had to think hard about spending the money on a new set of tires for it last year. I put very little mileage on it now. Heck, the Camry is almost 6 years old and only has 20K on it.

2006 Miata, around 60k miles. 1997 Ford Ranger, around 100k miles. Don't drive the Ranger much, it's my winter rig when the roads are snowy or have wet de-icer on them (haven't needed to drive it much this winter) or need to get something that won't fit in the Miata. With the amount I now drive they will both outlast me, I only average 3 or 4k miles a year on the Miata.

My oldest vehicle is a 1981 Ford Bronco. I've owned it for 10 years and I dailyed it for over 2 years after I got it roadworthy. I didn't want to keep piling miles on it and I won't drive it on the salted roads in the winter, so I bought a 2011 Ford Escape, mostly to drive back and forth to our property. It just turned over 145K and runs great. It's a 3.0 V6 4wd.
