iSeeCars has released a study indicating that the Ram 3500 is the most durable heavy-duty pickup truck, with a 31.9 percent chance of lasting 250,000 miles. This figure is significantly higher than the average pickup truck’s 11.1 percent likelihood of reaching the same mileage. The GMC Sierra 3500HD follows in second place with a 26.2 percent chance, while the GMC Sierra 2500HD ranks third at 17.2 percent.
Details on Heavy-Duty Truck Rankings
The Ford F-350 Super Duty and F-450 Super Duty are fourth and fifth, with chances of 15.1 percent and 14.9 percent, respectively. The Ram 2500 has a 14.3 percent chance, while the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD stands at 14.1 percent. The Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, although last in the heavy-duty rankings, still has an 11.7 percent chance of reaching 250,000 miles, which is above the average for all pickup trucks.
Light-Duty Truck Performance
In contrast, the Ram 1500 did not make the list of the longest-lasting light-duty trucks. Instead, Toyota’s Tundra topped the light-duty category with a 28.2 percent chance of lasting 250,000 miles, followed by the Toyota Tacoma at 25 percent. The Honda Ridgeline is also noted for its durability but is set to pause production in late 2026 to prepare for a new generation.
Insights from iSeeCars
Karl Brauer, an executive analyst at iSeeCars, emphasized that while reaching 250,000 miles is uncommon, the top-ranked trucks demonstrate a high level of quality and durability tailored to meet the needs of truck owners. The study analyzed mileage data from over 395 million vehicles to arrive at these conclusions.
