Makes sense. We just did a 5,000 roadie and my brother drove his 18 yo Toyota

with 230k miles on it no problem. We did the exact same trip as kids and my dads suburban which was probably 10 years old with half the miles broke down in Sheraton WY for a day or two.

If they’ve been reliable and maintained I wouldn’t hesitate with a 150,000 Toyota

If you've maintained them, there's no reason not to trust them. 150k miles

You don't save much on used Toyotas. If you wanted an Audi, you'd save a lot.

150k as long as they are maintained you are good. Thats just broken in

With that mileage and those years, only concern on a road trip is oil.

Not sure why a Toyota is unreliable at 150k miles

Cost in fuel though is a different argument. If I didn't love driving it so much

I've had 4 Toyotas go over 300K and another go over 200K before we sold it. Why not take one or both into the Toyota

Toyotas are among the most reliable (if not the most reliable) vehicles one can get. Doesn’t mean they’re perfect.

Keep both cars and get a rental for longer trips. This way you can try out different cars on road trips

I don't think you have gone conservative enough with your car choices in the past it appears. I would go more
