Got a basic 2000 Tacoma 4 cylinder pickup with 258,000 miles on it. Not a single service problem of any description since I bought it used with 21,000 miles on it in 2003. Still purrs like a kitten. Nice styling too (at least that’s what a few people have told me). Never could get more than maybe 120,000 miles out of any domestic truck without serious service problems.
Had four Toyotas over the past 35 years with pretty much the same story including a ‘77 Corolla wagon that my sister and I put 410,000 miles on before selling it in the mid 90’s. Other folks may have had trouble out of their Toyotas but I sure haven’t.

One of the most durable engines I've ever owned was a Dodge Slant Six. Two young neighbors bought an old Plymouth Valiant from a junk yard and put a used transmission in it and drove it couple of years before selling it to me. It had well over a hundred and fifty thousand miles on it then and I put another hundred thousand on it with only a valve job.
When the body just rotted down my dad took the head off the engine and used it on his car that had the same size engine. His old car eventually just fell apart on rough roads but the Slant Six was still hammering along at the time.
