The last minivan I had, a 2000 T&C Ltd AWD, was still on its original wheel bearings when I traded it in with 161K miles in 2008.
On the other hand, I had to replace both front hubs (wheel bearings were growling) on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x2 (see sig below) at roughly 135-140K miles.
Don't go cheap on the bearings. When I was shopping around to have my Ram serviced, the Firestone service advisor told me they use to obtain the hubs from Advance, but went to better hub unit due to alot of "come backs" with the Chinese made hubs. In the end I went with MoPar OEM units installed by my local dealer. They did cost twice as much as those available from Advance, but I feel more comfortable knowing they'll last at least 135K miles or thereabouts. I didn't go with Firestone as they were $100 more than the CJDR dealer. Even though there was a lifetime warranty on the Firestone hubs I just could afford $450+ labor and parts.
