Tacomas, for example, a properly taken care of V6 Taco almost always outlasts a properly taken care of 4 cyl Taco(most people get 220-250K+ out of their V6's without a rebuild, whereas you won't find many 4-cyl's Tacos with that much that are still running on stock internals).
Of course, a lot of this depends on an individual motors build quality... a crappily put together V6 might not last as long as a well built 4-cyl... but in general, with a V6, you're distributing a lot of the wear/stress of acceleration across more parts/cylinders... plus most V6's tend to tach lower than a 4-cyl so they spin less revs and can also usually move the vehicle in general at less revs due to more torque. Less revs usually means a motor can last longer.

Close but, no prize, you my fair friend overshot. My 2K SE Max has 215K and the engine will go out any day now. It's been pampered like a baby since day one. My mechanic told me years ago that, well taken care of, its a 200K engine. My G has 8K and I'm gonna try to baby it and once the max is gone, get another beater. Hope the G lasts a good 160K or 175K, so that I can get a new G37 at that time.
