    Trucks and High Miles

    Just out of curiosity. How many of you guys don’t buy trucks unless the mileage is over 100K and as a result, what percentage of you have been happy you saved the money by doing so without regret of issues arising.

    Probably not relative in my case...my last 2500 / 6.0 company truck went a little over 330k miles before the tranny crapped out.

    My 'new' 18 F150 I just received back in mid to late Feb right after this years bownanza just had the 50k mile oil change...we strive to get 300k miles out of our company trucks but doesn't take long when you have a tap root plowing into the drivers seat from day one.

    Yeah, if you are solid on the maintenance...drive them till they crap out.

        I drive a 2000 Tundra with almost 300K on it. Runs great. Bought it with 160K on it.

          It all depends on the motor. Some motors I would just not trust beyond 100k(Dodge 4.7, Ford 6.0/6.4, Chevy 5.3 after 2003). But there are some that I don’t even pay attention to the miles. My last used truck was a ‘94 Ford with the 300 straight 6. When I sold it, that truck had 265k miles and the cross hatch was still visible on the cylinder walls! Not bad for a gas engine. If my doc had not told me that I could not drive it anymore then I would still have it.

            It's likely I'll never buy a truck with less than 100k. Most are built so good your going to get at least 300k these days

                    Currently drive a 16 2500 high country duramax with 105k on it and no issues. Bought it at 65,000, plan to put another 100k on it and pass down to my son and replace with something similiar.

                              2000 Z71 5.3 Chevy with 336k on it still my daily driver. I need to do a few things to it maintenance wise, but I will drive it until it drops and likely fix fit and keep on driving it. I would never pay what a new truck is bringing these days. It's gotten way out of hand in my opinion.
