Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What’s the highest mileage vehicle you ever saw

210K + on my '11 F250 all by me, not getting rid of it anytime soon. Buddy has a '94 Chevy or GMC 2500 that close to or just over 400K. The body is pretty rough but the engine/transmission are original. He drives that pickup every day ~50 Mi round-trip to work. My F-250 is for pulling the boat (or anything else that needs pulled) and going hunting.

Without an engine or transmission overhaul? A late 80's Nissan Maxima with 420,000 miles on it.

There’s an 80-series Land Cruiser in our area with over 600,000 miles on it, original engine and transmission. A guy that used to run a local shooting range had an old F-150 with nearly 700,000 but it had been through several engines and at least a couple of transmissions.

A girl who I went to high school with drove a mid-1960s vintage Volvo 122 with over 500K miles on it.

My 1999 F150 w/5.4L. traded in at 265k. They gave my $500 cash and a $500 Amazon gift card. Was happy with what I got out of the deal.

Jorge has a chevy truck that he's posted a pic with the miles, pretty sure it's over 500k.

I think Jorge's last pic was 426,000, he's ahead of me at 400k. I wish I had taken better care of mine now, with the economy crashing, a couple of months could make a difference in replacement costs.

Not sure how far this feature goes back (1999-2007)

But you can pull up the hours on Chevy's

My '02 last check was 3030 hours & 138K miles

My 06 f150 5.4 is at 240K miles. It still runs like new. I'd have to have a lot more than $500 and a gift card to let go of it.

I had a car that I sold that had 286,000 on it. The guy I sold it to drove it for another 3 years with same motor and transmission. Don't know how many miles were on it when I last heard from him but I would guess over 300,000.
Sold a truck with the org. motor and transmission that had 257,000.

The American Airlines jet we flew in might have had more than a few miles on it?

Back in the early 2000's I bought a 1988 Mack Superliner drywall boom truck with a 350hp Mack engine in it. It had 900K miles on it when I bought it and 1.2M miles when I sold it. The truck originally belonged to one of my suppliers, but had a knuckle boom on it then. I knew the guy who put the first 600K miles on it. Then they went bankrupt and the truck got repo-ed and ended up with a drywall company where they put a drywall crane on it.

It never had any engine work done to it that I could see in the records. Man, that was a runnin' machine. I bet that SOB would go 100 mph if you wanted it to. It smoked really bad with thick black smoke when you gutted it. One day I got a call from an irate motorist. The guy was really pissed off complaining that he had to follow my truck down the interstate for 5 miles and he couldn't get by him. He said that he couldn't breath and couldn't see where he was going. I asked him why he stayed behind him so long and he just yelled something about he was going too fast and he couldn't get past him. Then he hung up on me.

I'm sure you're right, I just remember it was up there. I was impressed as I am with yours.

To make sure that does not happen again?

MY 2003 Ford Ranger has 250,000 with no oil leaks, does not use any oil.

449,500 on a F350 V10 service truck at work. Original engine, 2nd transmission and 3rd rearend. Rode hard and put up wet but still taking it on a daily basis.

Volkswagen with 375,000

I actually owned a Toyota 8100 series pickup that went over 1,000,000 miles. I was the fourth owner, I sold it with just short of a million miles, and the guy I sold it to still brags about it still running everytime I see him.

First owner was, if I remember correctly, GE in Missouri ... or maybe it wasn't GE I can't remember but it was some big Fortune 500 company just outside of St Louis. Then it went to Memphis, was owned by Hunter fans, then one of their employees bought it and then I bought it used from a place called Covington Pike Toyota and brought it back to SC ... then I sold it to this guy who says he's shooting for 1,200,000 sometime soon.

Toyota did something for him, sent him paperwork to get it in their million miles club, but apparently there are quite a few Toyotas with over a million miles built in the 70s and early 80s.

Apollo 15 spacecraft.

Saw a Mercedes 240D in the 70's with almost 1 million miles on it that belonged to a salesman that called on my Dad's business. He told me he put about 150,000 miles per year on that car with just routine maintenance. They don't make'em like that anymore.
