That depends on how you define the solar system.

For example, if you say it ends with Pluto, then Pluto is the most distant. However, I don't think may people like that answer. (Nor do I.)

If you think it ends with the Kuiper belt, then some of the Kuiper belt objects would be the most distant, orbiting out there till some disturbance sends them down into our neighbourhood as comets. You may remember that some recently discovered bodies in the Kuiper belt have been catalogued as minor planets.

However, if you think the Oort cloud also qualifies, then we might have some Oort cloud bodies orbiting our sun about halfway out to Alpha Centauri. Say about two light years.
