Gmc had 250,000, only changed spark plugs, oil and air filter as required, best truck so far. Today, F-250, 230,00 miles and still runs like a new truck, no oil burn, no knocks and looks brand new, I think I'll keep her!
'99 F250 7.3 Super Duty w/249K - and counting - miles....
Probably has done a third of that pulling a heavily loaded trailer.
Before that one I had a '95 F150 5.8 with 300k plus. I sold it to one of my customers about 3 yrs ago and it is still running on its original motor and trans.
Buckhunter,
I used to work a job where we had a fleet of F150's with the FI 300 sixes. Those could not be killed with conventional weapons. The last place I worked still has their 90's E150 van with the 300 - and it has almost 350K on it.
IMO when Ford changed from the 300 to the V6 it was a big step backwards.
I wish I could say I had good luck with fords. I had a 92 f150 with the 5.0 liter V8. Transmission had to be replaced at 110,000 miles and again at 186,000. this was mostly highway miles going to work (100 round trip for me :( Anyway, mechanic told me that this combination of motor and transmission had a lot of problems. Wouldn't stop me from buying another Ford, but I was disappointed enough not to buy another and bought the chevy silverado. it has been great but its just been broke in with 108,000 miles.
the finest vehicle I have ever owned was a 1991 ford ranger. Still ran great after 230,000 miles and only got rid of it because I needed a full size truck to pull my boat.
96' Chevy 1500 4x4 hand me down from my dad. Got rid of it with 400k when the rear end broke finally sold it to a guy who is still driving it. Went to a GMC sonoma ZR2 was told it would get better gas mileage. Serious down grade. 3mpg down grade handles like crap, less is not always more in this case. The only good thing about it is that i can turn around on any 2 rut back road i happen to be on. In two years this truck will be history. Going back to fullsized.
I put 300K on a 1990 Dodge Dakota. It never let me down. Routine maintenance was all. Never a wrench on the engine but it did go through a couple of starter motors. Loved that beast.
I must side with buckhunter as I have F100's and 150's
Since my first one in '75.'
My current F-150 has over 318,000 milies on it.
Yes it has had repairs but the usual stuff, radiator, alternator ... but not an engine.
