My 07 Tacoma has 194,000 on it and I have no doubt that it'll go another 194,000 without any major repairs. I drove an 85 F-150 with the 4.9 I6 engine over 150,000 miles and only put a clutch in it. My current 14 F-150 with the 5.0 V8 is only at 67,000.
I have a friend with a 1997 F-150 with the 5.4 V8. I know he is over 400,000 and I don't think he has done anything to the engine, but I'm not positive. He did have the transmission rebuilt a couple of years ago.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Bought a 2003 GMC 5.3L new. Put 225,000 on it in 10 years. Wife traded it on a Camry. Wish I still had it.
Dad bought an 88 Toyota with a 22R. He put 160,000 on it. I drove it through high school and college. Gave it back with 280,000 miles. He sold to a guy in town that drove it for several more years.
Current 6.0 Diesel has 165,000 miles. It’s had all the fun stuff done to it...

I put over 200,00 miles on three F-150s in a row. All had the 4.6 V8 in them. One if them is still in the driveway. I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado with the 4.8 V8 5at has 234,000 on it. My last two trucks have been Toyota Tacomas. Both right at 200,00 and still running strong. All of these vehicles were super reliable. If I had to choose one it would be an F-150.

Geez, that says a lot right there. Now I'm considering buying that '12 f150 even more. I've also had a 2004 GMC 1500 4x4 and I had to replace the transmission twice, the transfercase once and the G80 locker once. All of that with less than 130,000 on the odometer. That engine sure was a good one though.. As for Toyota trucks, I can't say enough good about them. That's going way back to the first gen toyota pickups too. Excellent little trucks, tough as nails and dependable as hell. The f150's are also great. I've had a few of those, but honestly trust Ford to be a lot more dependable than chevy. Its been that way forever.

I recently sold my 2001 Tundra with 160K miles. It had a new frame and ran like new. I regret selling it. I sold it to a farm boy, so I know he will love it.

1998 K1500 Chevy, 5.7 liter, 5 spd, 394000 miles and counting. I bought it new and so far Ive not had to do anything internally to the engine, transmission or differentials. 2 slave cylinders, 2 water pumps, an alternator, and a couple CV axles up front are all the repairs I can remember.

My '88 Ranger had 195k on it when I swapped it. The little 2.3 still ran like a top, but the Mazda gearboxes those had was not up to snuff.
I have a '97 GMC 1500 4x4 with manual trans, it has 205k on it. I was hauling heavy loads with it last fall when we had to get all our stuff off the lease. Pulling my partner's tractor back, I was having to flog the crap out of it to keep it above 50 mph. Got all the way into his front yard with it and stopped in front of his barn. Damned thing wouldn't start anymore...turned out my coil control module and coil itself had failed. Replaced them and it's running strong again. Coulda been a real PITA if it had quit on me 30 or 40 miles out. The good Lord does see me through on many of my ventures.
Also have an '05 F150 Lariat with 155k on it. It's been a damned good truck and a nice ride.

Drive my 1982 F150, 4.9l auto every day to work. 183,000 on it. Retired my other '82 4.9l , 3 on the tree 5 years ago. Needed another clutch and front end. Plus the fact it was rusting out faster than was safe to drive. Had 224,000 on it and still ran fine. Got it out back using for parts on the other. The 2010 Tacoma stays in the garage mostly, only 34,000 on it. Love the old bull nose Fords .

The 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi my oldest son drives. It has 136,000 miles on it, and just cost me $1500 yesterday for a new water pump and spark plugs. The dealer ship was trying to get us for another $1000 until I told them I pay the bill not my son. It's always fun yelling at someone over the phone from half-way around the world. The only reason it went to the dealership for work is due to the proximity of the dealership to his college dorm. On the bright side, they offered my son a job when he picked it up.

238k on my 07 expedition that I drive everywhere. Routine maintenance is all I’ve had to do so far. 186k on my 05 excursion. I had the head gaskets replaced back in 17. Still going strong. 148k on my 06 PSD F350. The turbo was replaced under warranty the first year. I just had the drive shaft rebalanced last week. No complaints about ford products on my end.
