Unshockingly, vehicles engineered for hard use under demanding conditions last longer.
People brag that their pickup truck went 400,000km doing commuter duty. Uh, yeah, something that was engineered to haul/tow thousands of pounds will fare somewhat better under light-duty highway commuting conditions.
A compact car will go most of that distance with half the fuel required under the same demands, so I'm not sure one's really ahead.
