* Model and Year: Different Dodge models have different designs and build qualities. Older models generally won't last as long as newer ones, assuming equal maintenance.
* Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including oil changes, fluid flushes, and timely repairs, significantly extends a car's life. Neglect leads to premature failure.
* Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, frequent hard acceleration and braking, and towing heavy loads put more stress on the vehicle and reduce its lifespan.
* Climate: Harsh weather conditions (extreme heat or cold) can accelerate wear and tear.
* Accidents: A major accident can severely shorten a car's lifespan, even if repairable.
While some Dodge vehicles might reach 200,000 miles or more with proper care, others might fail much sooner due to any of the factors above. It's not about a specific mileage limit, but rather a combination of factors determining the car's longevity.
