Hummer Man:
I had a '81 Chevy Blazer w/ 260K on the engnie and tranny when I sold it.
The Guinness book has a Cadillac as holding the mileage record for a single engine (i.e. most miles w/o rebuild). The overall record is a VW bug, but it had multiple rebuilds.
So, I disagree - my American cars/trucks have flat-out kicked the heck out of some Japanese products that friends own [as far as reliability and longevity]. It's partially luck o' the draw and part care.
