# 4, #5, #6 and #7 cars that seem to last forever
5. Toyota 4-Runner and Tacoma Back in the early 80s, after 21 iterations, the Toyota engineers scored a hit with the 22R engine, the mainstay of the 4-Runner and other models until the mid-90s. The model is still a hot topic of conversation in tinkering circles today for its reliability. The Tacoma comes from the same mold, just about the only light truck that can really give the F-150 a run for its money. Let us know if you see one for sale with an extended cab.
6. Honda Accord
When it comes to long-lasting autos, sometimes basic is best. The Accord is to mid-range commuter cars what the F-150 is to mid-size trucks. Change the oil, hope for the best and the odds are you won't be disappointed.
7. Mitsubishi Endeavor
A relatively new kid on the block, debuting in mass production only in 2003, the
Endeavor seems to be a likely contender for the emerging title of 'everlasting crossover.' The
Honda Element scores high marks across the board in this category, as well.
