Mine was a daily driver for the first 40 years. The last 14 years has been used constantly but only once a week. I have never had any more reliable vehicle in my life!
I think that the 60 series Patrol and the Toyota FJ40 are the most reliable vehicles ever produced.

I will add to the comments of RiverPatrol the following. At 65 mph, the engine is revving at ~3300 rpms of the max 3800. So effectively they are going at higher rpms than a typical engine of today, so don't be fooled by the fact that the engine is a low rpm engine. On the other hand, they are very capable of reaching 70 mph any day, and even the top speed of 75. But you need to know exactly the condition that your engine is, like a decent rebuilt done. On my way to work, I have a stretch that I go at 60 mph, but it's only 10 minutes, traffic dependent.
