How long do Dodge cars last?
Dodge models average about 180,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The Ram 1500 Pickup leads at an estimated 230,000 miles, and the Viper is lowest at 150,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

What the difference is worth
Take two used Dodges, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the Ram 1500 Pickup has 130,000 miles left, or $0.062 per mile. The Viper has 50,000 left, or $0.160 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
