I knew some guys that would run 1500HD's and 2500's till destruction. Out of a sample size of around.50 trucks, most made it between 325,000 and 400,000 with a transmission and a few odd transfer cases going out. Usually by 400,000 the bodies were beat up bad enough they were knocked in the head and used for parts.

I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.
I'm at 344K on a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 Cummins and I have a 2000 Dodge 3500 2wd with 197K. No internal engine problems with either but I've replaced alotta stuff on the 2001. Wish they could still make the simple diesel trucks....

My '87 Toyota 2WD pickup has 426,000 on it. My '98 Toyota T100 4WD has 232,000. Santiam, I'm glad to hear that your 3.4 is doing good at nearly 400k. Wife's '13 Corolla is just now getting broken in at 145,000.
Ran my 04 Dakota 4x4 V8 for 14 years and nearly 350k miles with no engine problems! Finally "needed" wanted a new ZR2 so it went down the road running fine.
My '96 F250 with the 7.3 has 345K on the ODO, but it stopped working four years ago.... Figure another 50K. Still running surprisingly well, really, but it's a dog compared to a modern diesel.
my 2009 Tacoma has 207K on it and is using oil like its going out of style. 3 quarts between oil changes. My '97 Tacoma went 360K with nary a problem, but this 2009 / 2.7 is a POS.
Drove a Ist gen dodge 12v cummins that had over 500,000 when we finally smoked a piston. Rebuilt and finally wore the truck out at close to a million mile on it. Owned 2 2nd gen 12 valves that went over 300,000 without any major repairs. Had a 03 f150 with a 4.2 v6 that had 290,000 on it when I sold it. Still see it around town. My last truck was 2007 f150 with the horrible 5.4 it had 220,000 on it when I sold it to my neighbor had only changed the plugs in it. Neighbor is still driving it but he did have the cam phasers and timing chains replaced. My current truck is a 2011 f150 with 5.0 Just fixing to turn over 160,000. Had to replace oil psi sensor. Pain in the ass.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....
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.
My 2001 Ford Ranger broke the timing chains at 44,000 miles in 2014. The truck looked like new. The week after I paid a small fortune to get it fixed the clutch burned out. I sent it down the road after that repair. I don't know why Ford used that German designed engine. Now it's Toyota all the way.
2006 Chevy reg cab 2wd Silverado. 264k. Still driving in 100miles a day to work. Had to put a water pump on it last weekend. Uses a little oil. Everything still works except #5 on fan.

2000 Silverado ext. cab 2wd LWB @ 295,000 (new motor @ 294k) It was Dad's old work truck. He parked it 2 yrs. ago at 294k with water in the oil and smashed up pretty good. I decided to keep it. These ext. cabs with an 8' bed are hard to come by these days.
1999 Silverado reg. cab 4wd LWB @ 264,000 Uses a little oil but damn near trouble free. Had to change fuel pump twice (replacement was bad) and a crank sensor.
We had a couple 2013 gas F250's here at work that I thought did extremely well. Mine had 186,000 the other had 240,000 on it. We also idle'd them extremely hard. I usually drive 60-100 miles or so then sit and idle for 8-12 hours then drive back to the shop. The engines probably had 3-4 times more hours on them than a normal vehicle with the same miles on them.
2000 Silverado 4wd...4.8 v8 5 speed. Made it to 280k and frame got so bad I had to park it but would still bark tires slamming 4th gear at over 90. Current ride is a 2011 f150 140k and counting.
I have a 2011 F150 with a 3.5 ecoboost, 288797 miles. It’s not without issue. Check engine light is on, has a vacuum leak so the right hub try’s to engage when a left turn is made. When time permits these issues will be addressed.
