Old truck appreciation (and high mileage)

[44hunter45]

A younger (and heavier) me loading a ton and of half of grass hay into our 1988 GMC K2500, "Big Red".
Big Red is currently waiting for warmer weather so I can lift the bed and replace the fuel pump. It has 385,000 miles on it.
It will get its third 5.7L engine in 2022. Then I can leave the pretty boy 2017 GMC to pretty boy things.

I occasionally miss the old 94 Ranger, then I remember that it’s nice to not break down every few months.

I'm jealous of that match set. Nice mass!

2002 Toyota Sequoia, 282,000 miles this morning. I bought it almost 10 years ago now with 192,000 on the clock for a bit under $6,000. Been a fantastic vehicle. Every time I think about replacing it I can't decide what would be better so I just keep driving it. Room for me to sleep in the back and enough clearance to go more places than I want to drive it through. Sure it has it's quirks...like the key not working in most of the doors so I have to unlock it from the passenger side but all in all I have no complaints.

I am planning on buying my wife a newer vehicle so I can take over her 2004 Sequioa. I love it and it has never given us a minute of trouble. It just turned over 250000.

2016 Ram 2500 6.7 205,000 miles and still going strong. Its a highway queen and hardly ever used for what it is intended to do.

Original brakes on it. lol

Don’t remember the mileages but I do run my pickups well up into the miles-
The last four:
1985 bought my ‘83
1997 sold the ‘83, bought the 93
2009 sold the ‘93, bought the 2008
2019 sold the ‘08 bought the 2011

All I’ve sold had a solid 200-250k miles on them, bought the 2011 from a buddy and it still only has 130k on it, “retired miles” are different I guess.

94 F150 with 90k on the clock all shined up...

93 F150 4X4 I purchased when I moved to Alaska from Idaho.

It's my opinion that 92 through 97 were the last best F150's Here's my old 92 with the 351W that was lucky to see double digit MPG. Sold it to a friend when I got my Toyota a few years ago and it's still very much in service. Despite its looks, it only had about 130K on the odometer.

I currently have two 2500HD Duramax trucks. The "new" one is a 2015 model with just over 100,000 on it. The one pictured below is my daily driver. It's a 2011 model which was the first year for the DEF. Once I figured that out, it has been pretty reliable. Had to put the second set of brakes on it last month.

My 2012 Cummins just turned 100k on the way to KS at New Years and it got me thinking about buying a newer vehicle. The mileage some of you have is crazy.

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

09 hunting, fishing, wood getting, goat hauling rig. 200k never a serious issue, but the ol girl just recently started burning oil.

 

[hank4elk]

I was off,just hit 160k on the Ford today.

 

[220yotekiller]

Enough of these 80k show rigs the dealer maintains . How about some love for the old and not so old faithfuls out there. They seem to be getting more and more reliable...

Here is my Llama hauler, about to hit 355k. 2001 2500 diesel, pictured pulling my turbo diesel grocery getter.

Love those gen 2 Cummins, they just keep going.

Coming home with the “new” replacement box for the truck.

Getting the body work done to undo the Minnesota salt work will be a fraction of the cost of a new truck.

2012 ram 2500 Cummins.

Some of yall must just sit in your driveway and watch other people drive with the low mileage on 30 year old rigs

 

[Fishnride]

79 Cherokee Chief Widetrack that I’ve owned now for over 20 years. Goes anywhere I have ever asked it to go.

 

[dan.kirkpatrick]

my 2004 dodge cummins,,still young,,only 115 k

What trailer set up is that?

Right?! I've got about 100k on my 2018 Silverado work truck and 70k on my 2016 Tundra. The latter I'd swear spends 90% if it's life in my driveway. Averages to about 37k miles per year total across both trucks.

The Silverado will see an early grave but have high hopes to get at least another decade out of the Tundra

The '97 Dodge Ram I gave my son now has over 300k miles. Original engine and recently rebuilt trans still runs pretty darn good.
Should have mentioned it's not a diesel.
