Just as Dean stated - few cars or trucks have engines rated for steady use. The only ones I can think of are a few heavy 3/4 ton trucks. Engines for heavy use (on the road) get "B" ratings. These ratings predict how many miles they last, on average, when used hard most of the time. Chevy Duramax has a B10 rating of 220,000 miles.
