Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Highest milage on your engine(Ford truck) or any other truck.

My 05 f150 is getting close to 200,000 miles and starting to worry some. Got a little "ticking" that has me concerned. Had one shop tell me it's the cam phasers and said it would be too much to fix in their opinion for a motor going on 200,000. I'll be getting a second opinion soon. What is the highest milage you've gotten out of your trucks before they either got an overhaul or gone to the pearly gates? Said compression is great, tranny is very good.

I have an 04 F150 that just turned 200k. It ate a lobe off a camshaft 3-4 years ago. We replaced the cam and it's still ticking along

230k on a '96 Dodge Dakota. Its not my daily driver anymore (switched to 2013 Ford F-150), buts it still runs.

My 2001 Ford Ranger with the 4.0 have 194,000 miles. 160,000 plus were mail route miles.....the worst kind. It still does not use any oil.

I have 225K on a 2005 Lincoln Aviator with a 4.6L V8. I bought it used at 56K and have run Mobile 1 5W-30 High Mileage with 6K change intervals for the last 156K. All original and runs fine. If you're not running full synthetic, you might want to switch. If you are running full synthetic, I don't know what to tell you.

2005 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton 4x4. 260,000+. Still runs great.

My 2003 has 140K I use Ford Semi Synthetic oil.
It has a 5 speed manual 4.6 V 8.
I am going to run it until it pukes.

1999 Ford Super Duty with the 7.3 287000+

I would still drive it across the country without a worry

1999 Ford Super Duty 7.3 225000
1999 Dodge Durango 5.9 232000
Sold the Ford to get wife a new car. Still miss it best truck I ever owned.
Pavementends

Chevy 2003 Silverado 283, 000miles. Wife hit a slick spot and ran into a hundred year old oak tree. Totaled it or I'd still be driving it. powdr

269k on my Tacoma.

Had 196K on my '95 5.0L when I sold it. I replaced the plugs twice and needed a new AC compressor, that's the only repairs under the hood. Rebuilt the 5spd tranny @ 180K. Truck never ever left me stranded. The day I sold it I'd have driven it anywhere.

Current truck is '11 F250 w/6.7L diesel and 140K and again, I'd take it anywhere as it sits. I'd not think twice about hooking up 10K # and setting the cruise @ 75 assuming the road wasn't snowy/icy.

99 super duty - 109k


Ya know...cause I only head to the post office 3 times a year 😄

My wife's (used to be mine) 2004 Tundra has 290k(ish) on it now. I bought it new and due to my experience with it, I bought a new 2014 Tundra and have 70k on it now. I used to be a Ford owner but I think the 2014 Tundra will take me to the grave and maybe the 2004. There are a couple of the Toyota trucks around with 1+ million on them.

One of my Brown UPS trucks.......my best one I received it with 129 miles on it...

Drove it forever.......IIRC it was in service for 700K miles......or so.....(prob +)

12+ years & an average of 200 miles per day.....mid- late 90's

Freightliner chassis & a Cummins 5.9L w/manual tranny...15 mpg daily

Then I remember a POS IH Powerstroke.......what a dog..........

Retired with a 5 cyl Mercedes diesel & automatic......sumbitch revved out at 72 mph.......

After 27 years...my estimated miles were 1.3M......accident free.......

Daily driver is a '95 F-150 with the 4.9 and 5 speed. 253,000+, all that I've EVER done to the engine is one set of plugs, distributor cap, rotor and valve cover gasket. Leaks a little from the rear seal. Use whatever conventional name brand oil that is cheapest except no Pennzoil ever, Wix, Purolator or Motorcraft filter. Oil change every 3,000 miles.

395k on my 99 Dodge Cummins. Replaced fuel pump at 150k. Water pump around 300 k.

A 2004 F350 Crew Cab manual everything 6-speed, 4x4, long bed, diesel. Presently at about 177k on the rumored to be crappy engine. Highway mileage consistently around 21 to 22 mpg if I keep my foot out. About 18 mpg in Montana. Don't do much heavy hauling, but I need it for daily office trips. Still going strong and will run it till it dies or I get an insane offer.

had a 1970 f100 in high school with a 390 r2 barrel carb 4.10 gears that would beat any stock chevy 350 in the quarter. had well over 200,000 and i had to put a quart of oil in everyday.
day.

Almost to the 400,000 mark and still going strong.
