Arrow Longevity Q: Will a 2016/2019 Highlander last as long as a 2015 GS350? (salty roads)

I live in Canada. (salty roads = rust factor)

I have a 2015 Lexus GS350 AWD (luxury package) with 60,000Miles, and specifically am considering trading it in for a V6 Toyota SUV (WITH adaptive cruise), so a 2016 highlander limited or a late 2019 Highlander with 75,000miles. (car-care-nut video said to avoid 2017 & 2018 highlanders).

My main concern is I want to keep the longest lasting car between them (300,000miles+), and I'll follow Toyota-mechanic maintenance guide on fluids (oil, coolant, brake, transmission fluid, etc.).

Do you think I should avoid trading the 2015 GS350? Or will the 2016/2019 toyota highlander last just as long as the 2015 GS350? Will the highlander rust out faster?

2015 GS350 is made exclusively in Japan, the Highlander is made in the USA.

Thank you!!

With same maintenance? For longevity, maintenance is important. Without all information necessary, I would say you keep the GS. It is a Lexus. You know it especially its maintenance better. It is made in Japan.
