This question is phrased weirdly because it's not like I listen to the same audiobook over and over every time I take a long drive. Presumably you're looking for "good book that worked well in audio format and is long enough to keep me occupied on a long drive".
I've been on road trips that lasted over a year. Some options that kept me stimulated:
* Most audio plays that target public radio (BBC, ZBS, etc). Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe, etc etc.
* Anything from the Teaching Co. Pick a subject that interests you, you won't be disappointed. If you don't know where to start, go with Robert Sapolsky's "Biology and Human Behavior".
* Bill Bryson's "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" is worth calling out for length and breadth.
* High-budget podcasts. Not "a couple guys jabbering about how to cook" but the crafted ones. Serial is the obvious example, but there are a million more. This American Life. Planet Money. S*Town. The Agent. Darknet Diaries. If your podcast app is halfway decent, the discovery algorithm should keep you busy forever.
