Been watching this forum for a couple years and finally decided to post. I am the only owner of a 2005 SE with 519,000 miles. It seems like most of the higher mileage posts here are from warm weather locations. Mine is a 4x4 which adds some extra challenges. I am in Pennsylvania, so I am dealing with road salt/brine every winter and keeping the rust at bay. I drive regularly through New England and Canada every hockey season. For those wondering, I have no issues with planning 300-1000 mile road trips even with over a half million miles. My goal is 612K

2010 Armada almost 300k.. still in the 240k - 250k miles. Not entirely trouble free. All repairs were just normal wear and tear. Absolute awesome same tranny and engine. Every 8k miles I bring to walmart for oil changes synthetic their cheapest I ask or on sale. I just ask them to drain and fill the tranny fluid every 25k miles.
$60 for oil changes every 8k miles with synthetic. $100 for tranny fluid includes tax every 25k miles. They used to do the differentials front and rear but they dont anymore so past 10years I just bring to grease monkey for this.
Next time I just will bring to grease monkey to change all fluids and check everything.
They tend to do it all at the G.M. with less hassle and price if done all together.

It might be Me! I had a 2007 Armada SE that I bought used in 2016 with a little over 180,000 miles on it....sold it in 2019 with over 335,000+ miles in it and I only sold it because it would leak really bad while driving in heavy rain....then I bought and still own a 2012 Armada SL that had a little over 180,000 miles on it, too. It currently has just over 306,000 miles and hasn't missed a beat as my daily Uber vehicle for the last 2 yrs or more!
I'm going to buy another Armada or a 2012 to 2016 Infiniti QX model real soon....still trying to get use to that newer body style...outer appearance is bit uggg to Me, but that interior is the Bomb! I just wish they'd make the 2nd row seats able to slide back 3 inches when U have the 3rd row empty and up. That would be Soooo sweet!

Guessing that I may still be the King, but Jersey Boy is right on my tail. Just rolled over 527K this weekend on a 1200+ mile round trip to Charlotte, NC. Heading to Rhode Island tomorrow and then Rochester, NY next week. Finally had to replace the fuel pump last month and will upgrade to an all stainless exhaust before the end of the year.

Still rolling along at 532K now. The Rochester trip turned into a little more of an adventure. We got across the border for a day trip to Toronto. The new stainless exhaust is nice, but the Magnaflow has a bit of a resonance that I am not happy with. Looking at a weekend in Rhode Island and Maine this month followed by another run to Charlotte. Probably will be looking for a local interior shop in the spring since the driver seat is showing some wear.
I have been lurking here forever and finally made an account. This is my first post here.
I was seriously considering selling or trading in my wife's 2012 Platinum which has 95k on it for a 2020+ Armada or QX80. Now I am thinking I should just keep it as a secondary vehicle and drive it forever. Her biggest gripe is the ancient infotainment system - she wants blue tooth streaming and wireless charging. Maybe time to visit the custom audio place and keep rolling.
Thanks for all the posts guys! These are inspiring. Keep them coming.

Is that aerial nautical miles? Surely we'll be flying by 2105...

Wow. Some super impressive numbers here. We got our 05 Armada in 06 with 12k on it and its in the 220k range now. What a great truck! Did the Royal Purple thing from the beginning to about 160k with no changes but would swap the filter every 3k and add a quart. Engine is in perfect condition still. Trans fluid at 100k, tires & batteries. OEM belt and everything else.
It has carried us through nicely in the last 15+ years and finally the starter is cutting up a little and will have to be changed. Clearcoat starting to die on top surfaces. Looks like I will learn how to paint. Oh yea, gas gauge sender broke.

That's highly impressive! How do you fix rust or kep it at bay?
It is me or the link isn't working? Anyway, that's impressive mileage!
