142,000 here after a rough start. No major repairs since. I wonder how far I can expect to run before the wheels fall off.

My 2013 had 347,000km when the front differential went and I traded it in. I had just fixed the transfer case and AC compressor and realized it was time to get rid of it. The V6 still purred like a kitten tho.....

Between Alaska and Virginia
164,750 miles of mostly Alaskan roads and weather!

It's a 2013 AWD LS Nox with the oil-burning pig of an L4 engine (bad rings)

Over the years, I've replaced the following major assemblies:
  1. Cat Converter (both of them)
  2. A front wheel bearing
  3. Timing chain, guides, and tensioner
  4. A single spark plug ignition coil
Routine maintenance work includes a few sets of tires, dozens of DIY oil changes, two each synthetic differential and transmission fluid changes, one each brake fluid and front brakes. Have run mostly Kirkland Signature FS 5W-30 and occasionally Castrol SN-rated 0W-40. The 40 weight oil makes that 4-cyl engine purr. And with almost 165K miles on her, it's probably the weight I'll use from now on.

Please note that I've greatly reduced the oil change interval to 3000 miles on this 4-cyl Nox. I firmly believe this DI engine cannot handle 5000 or more mile changes ... too much accumulated DI soot exacerbates chain wear.

It's been up and down the Alaska-Canada Highway and all over the Lower-48 states. It's well-used...

Just sold my 2013 with 153,000. Ran pretty good until the last few thousand miles.

My 2016 just hit 70,000 no problem so far.

My 2016 has 164K , it’s a daily commuter and get away ride. No oil usage issues, no major repairs, just the expendable normal wear items. Oil changes at 5K, trans every 30k, transfer & differential every 60k. In my book oil is cheap by comparison.

2005 LT at 326,800 just replaced the ac compressor recently and a coolant tube had a hole in it that's all the big maintenance I've had to do in the past 4 years

2013 2LT 4 cyl, 126k miles, no major issues. Just some shaking noise tells it's getting aged.

Just hit this milestone today in my 2012 LT 3.0
Dash is lit up like a Christmas tree but she’s still my daily driver! Strong motor and transmission, but everything else is coming apart at the seams. In the last 6 months I have replaced the oil pressure sensor, coolant temp sensor, alternator, ac hose, ac compressor connector, and almost everything on the front end. Purge valve, airbag diagnostics, and rear wheel sensor are next. I live in Vegas and we have the worst stop and go traffic, in triple digit heat, with roads that are constantly under construction, have ruts the size of football fields, and will put your vehicle through hell.
Love a Chevy!
