My brother has a 2012 f150 with the first gen 3.5 ecoboost, the truck has 272k miles on it and runs strong, he hasnt had to do anything major to this truck. definitely a strong solid truck.
I have a 2013 fx4 EcoBoost it had 3 miles on it I have 235,000 and the only time i took it into the dealer was recall stuff minor things and a bad sparkplug gap causing a misfire. I got a lot a flack for buying it but I've never had an issue I hope i can hand it down and keep it in family I've been so impressed with it.
They are going on 12 years with the 3.5 ecoboost and they keep perfecting them. I wouldn't hesitate to get one if I wanted a new truck. The 2.7s are supposedly so far, are very good. Ford will perfect the ecoboost and are pretty dam good at making them . The 2.7s are going on thier 7th year.
When it finally goes, rebuild it. Inline 300s are the gold standard of truck engines. It’s equal or in most cases superior to most diesel engines. 700k is possible with good maintenance, a million if you’re religious about it. A mild engine flush is a good idea and make sure to keep up on coolant, water pumps etc. timing gears should never need touched, a huge reliability boon. Also clean the throttle body out and replace the pcv.
Congratulations, I remember when in 99 that body style came out and everyone was wondering if the 5.3 would be a high mileage motor. Gm trucks were a big deal when I was a kid in the 90s I grew up in Genesee County Michigan I was about 4 miles out of flint. So gm products I had about 9 family members working for gm and a bunch retired. It was god family gm trucks or hot rods. I talked my brother n law into buying a 2001 GMC Sierra with 243,000 he was apprehensive but it was only 1700$ he had the truck 4 years with 400,000 something now. I hope you get to 1million plus
My 2003 F150 5.4 2wd at 396,000. All original powertrain and runs silent. I got this at 322,000 and the only problem has been a heater hose, a 5 minute repair. This was an electrical contractor truck. It's in good shape. 03/08/2022. Now at 398,000. I just replaced spark plugs and the original coil packs and an oil change. Runs amazing. 05/28/22 400,700 miles and good as ever.
Just sold my 11 3.7 235500 miles and never ever used or leaked oil. Just bought a 2019 XLT pretty loaded with the little 3.3L NA. Love my new truck and don’t wish for twin turbos.
@@oldkicker8958 I sold my '18 F150 with the 2.7 turbo and Tacoma with the 3.5 for a super low mile '14 F150 w/ 3.7 and 3:73 diff's, its better than both the latter newer trucks IMO. I cant help but think if they kept this screaming 3.7 {it aint slow at all, tows great too} and on the 700lb lighter AL trucks with that 10 speed nobody would want the hassle of twin turbo's. I bet the 3.3 is good with the 10r80 as well.
2007 Tundra 5.7. 250k miles many of them tough ones. New shocks and struts and the starter went out last year. Runs great same engine, same transmission even still has the same plugs. Not only is the powertrain extremely solid the interior is has nothing loose or squeaking. Reliability at its best.
isnt it funny. buddy of mine traded his 07 tundra in for a 2016, he had 350,000kms on it, he too had done the shocks and struts, said the new one rode just the same as the old... he tows a closed in trailer all week for work, then often has sleds, wheelers or boats on the back on the weekends. unreal trucks, no question i bought one... i'm keeping it 20 years, not because i can't afford a new one, because i don't need a new one
Your video was God sent. I've been doing research on which small truck to get and narrowed it down to the avalanche & Ridgeline. Thanks to you I'll feel at ease getting the avalanche. Thank you
1997 F150 Lariat 5.4 V8 2WD 464,000 miles. I always use premium gas with Seafoam. Used to use Valvoline High Mileage Synthetic Blend 5W30. Now use full synthetic. Worst problem was head gasket around 300,000. Now my trans is just starting to slip and I have to run with Overdrive turned off.
I have an 09 f150 fx4 with 249k. Running strong just replaced the ac compressor but so far so good. Change the oil regularly every 3k with full synthetic.
Long haul vehicles will typically do that. Fewer heat cycles, less time running on cold oil, fuel is always fresh, oil is always fresh, starter gets used less, etc.
My 1999 f 150 4.6 has 209,000+ miles. I am the third owner, my brother bought it from the original owner in Florida and brought it to California so no snow winters. The truck has never even towed a jet ski and it still runs like a sewing machine. The only money that I have put into it besides maintenance is some front end suspension work. My mechanic told me that it is worth keeping even if it needs some transmission work down the road.

@@rickysaavedra2666 I had two older ford rangers with over 275,000 when I sold it to the neighbor and the other one to a friend. I know the one for sure had over 325,000 after he sold it to another friend.. never had issues! It was the 3.0 liter
My 2010 ford f150 4x4 crew cab platinum with 140,000 miles is running great engine, transmission and rear end are quiet and purr so beautifully, no cabin noise either
2014 f-150 with eco boost 212,000 miles. Only problem so far is leaking coolant from turbo on both sides replaced in the last year. About $500 fix for each. great truck so far
05 Silverado 2500 HD work truck w/ 6.0 litre V8. I bought this truck in 2010 with 82,000 mi on it at an auction for $10,000 primarily to serve as my trailer pulling equipment hauling workhorse. She now has 318,000 on her with the original motor in transmission. And let me tell you, while I take good care of my equipment, this truck has been WORKED. Runs strong and still blows cold air out of the dash! It's also worth noting that These older Iron Block LS "Vortec" engines seem to run much more efficiently with ethanol free gas.
My dad bought a new Silverado in 09 with the v8. He beats that poor trucks to hell. Currently has more than 300k miles and is surprisingly still running. Helped me decide to go with Chevy when buying a truck last year.
Mine is an '07 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 I bought new with 8 miles on it. Currently has 240012 as of 12-26-20. Before this I got 243,000 plus some change out of my Dodge Dakota with a 4 cylinder, I called it my Singer sewing machine engine and after that many miles the wrist pins came loose allowing the pistons to hammer a couple of plugs flat but it went until it couldn't, no complaints from me, it served well.. I'll keep the Ram going as well until it just won't. Thumbs up on an informative researched channel.
Just scored a rust free Texas '01 Suburban LT with leather interior and new Alpine blue tooth radio, 5.3/4L60E, 320K original miles with all new recovered leather seats, state of the art VHS system and roof screen, nice shampooed carpet for $1500 !! Engine runs SMOOTH no ticks or knocks or clacks. Just oil change, shocks, tires, brake pads/rotors, filters and wipers thats really it.
have a 98 dodge dakota, 5.2 auto 4x4, bought it new. just about to turn 400,000 miles normal maintenance, only major work has been heater core/water pump replacement done at same time, still has original starter, alternator and transmission. proper maintenance makes the difference
2010 4.6 3v here 220,119 on her shed still pulling and driving fun ! Did the tune up and now getting 16.5 city and highway getting 22.5 mpg Used to get 10.5 city and 13-14 mpg hwy
I cant believe how expensive these trucks are now days. I just bought a 2015 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 5.0 V8 with 113K and it was still 35 grand. It is really clean, like new clean not a stain anywhere but dang that's expensive. Its a beautiful truck, I did some looking around and everything I saw was around the same price for year and make/model so it wasn't like they over priced it, they're just crazy expensive these days. I hope I can get over 300k on it because I'm going to have to drive it for a long time to justify the price tag.
Same here, 2019 Super cab 44000 miles near perfect but just the 3.3L NA. Beautiful truck and plenty of power for me especially in sport mode. I’m confident it will last forever and I love the aluminum body. $34000 a month or so ago. 👍
@@oldkicker8958 Nice buy, looks like they're coming down a little bit from when I bought mine (2021). The sport mode does have a lot of power. I try not to use it too much with the price of fuel these days...lol. I have 145k on it now and the truck is still running nicely.
I have a 97 F-150 4.6l with 250k on the clock . With that said, I think vehicles from mid 90s to mid 2000s are more reliable in general. Today’s trucks are more comfortable and techy but are less reliable. They can have that one or two more MPG alongside the problems that come with it. Good vid!
Amen! Late 90s-early 2000s were the pinnacle of reliability and longevity IMO. Gramps had a 95 Olds 88 with 3800 v6 that got 32 mpg highway and lots of get up and go! Once the EPA got involved, they ruined a lot of things, including the 3800 (series 3 of that motor only got mid 20s mpg)
i have a 1993 f150 and it still runs like a charm and theres barely any rust on it and its been working on a farm for id say 10 years and it just doenst stop going
i’m at 412k on an 04 F-150 with the old 4.6L. still gets 18mpg no leaks. Original owner. I just can’t see the value in getting a new one just yet….maybe when 25mpg is normal i consider a new f150. If you take care of your vehicles they will take care of you.
Interesting data. I’m impressed with the F150s numbers (20.3%) considering the sample size (4000.) I wonder how the other vehicles would stack up with similar sample sizes.
2004 Expedition 4x4 5.4 engine 368k running great. Did have a transmission but the engine is original. 2 issues I have, a tire pressure monitor fault and the rear wiper doesn’t work.
My brother gave me his 2000 Ford F-150 4.2 V6 with 465,000 miles and still running all the only thing I change so far is the alternator. I am still searching how to fix the AC which is not cooling
01 dodge dakota with a 4.7 at 269k presently, still gets over 20 mpg highway and runs very strong . The previous owner must have been meticuloud about fluid change intervals because it still runs and drives like new
@@hwsimmons9560 since we were talking about pickups here, i think everyone knew what you were talking about. ford always tries their engines in something other than the pickup...
I have a 2006 Silverado from Texas. It's held up really well here in MI. It gets a yearly rust proofing on the underside and I wax it before winter. So far 160k miles and half of those have been in Michigan. It's holding up really well.
Our 2013 F150 has as of today, 288,000 miles on it and still running. No major engine troubles at all. Starting to get minor glitches now, the back up camera quit working and the shocks are finally giving out. We live 25 miles outside of Fairbanks Alaska and our winters get to -45f some nights. Our truck has never not started due to the cold, but we do have three heaters on it that we plug in. Our oil has been changed every 5000 miles since it was brand new.
I have a 2000 Silverado stepside it has 286000 miles on it I am it's only owner. Still has the original transmission and engine no rebuild. Running strong
I have a 2011 f150 v6 200k had a transmission lead frame replaced, starter, tune up regular oil changes every 3-4k miles. The majority are interstate miles.
2015 GMC Sierra 1500. I needed a new engine and a new transmission at 150k! Regular service - oil, transmission, transfer case, tire rotation, all filters, coolant, differential fluid, brakes.... Everything! I have a 6" lift with 35's. Would these have anything to do with it? I expected to get 250k miles out of her. What do y'all think?
2005 tundra with a 4.7 V-8. 226,000 miles. Changed belt and water pump twice. Steel runs like a top, handles like new Researching new trucks now, I have plans to get a trailer and do some cross country traveling.
I've always had high mileage vehicle's. Alota folks shy away from them but when ya don't have the best credit and have to pay cash for things ...... ya gotta take what ya can get. I just recently sold my 06 f-150 that had just shy of 300k on it.... and I was lazy on the oil changes...... the transmission made it to 260k before finally going out and when I took it in to be rebuilt the shop was amazed because they said it still had the orginal fluid and filter from the factory.... had never been touched. Currently In my driveway is my 04 Silverado with 265k on it.....and I swear it's been close to a year since I changed the oil in the thing.... and it gets driven 150 miles a day. And just a month ago i picked up a 2010 f-150 platinum with the 5.4 3v with 250k on it...... but beat believe I will stay on top of oil changes on the Ford. I really feel like they mad great trucks in the early mid 2000's......and don't be like me..... change your damn oil! 😂😂😂 I just got lucky 💁♂️
Lol thanks for the post. I think there are a lot of awesome cars and trucks in the early 2000s for sure. Lots of them went to crap when the economy taked in 08 and 09. Change those fluids!!! Lol
Interesting video, I personally own a 1988 Chevy obs C1500 with 256,000 original miles on the original drivetrain still running strong and driven daily 😁
I just saw a review from a 2011 ford f150 ecoboost motor and he turned 400,000 miles in it in 2020. He said coil packs were the only troublesome component he dealt with. The ecoboost issues typically stem from delaying oil changes from the manufacturers recommendations and/or using the incorrect oil viscosity.
On online mechanic said the biggest problem he sees with the Ecoboost F150's is people driving them too gently and the wastegates start to get stuck. Drive 'em hard enough to use the turbo a few times a week at least and it'll probably be fine.
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab 4x4 with 153,500 miles. I bought it with 92,000 back in 2011. I have replaced the oil pressure sensor, of course the plugs and wires, the fuel tank straps (rusted away), the entire brake system (lines completely rusted away and started blowing out) and replaced the lines with stainless and that sucked. Now I'm considering getting a new truck later this year.
All these trucks that u listed I see for sale needing transmissions and front differentials. They still want $3000 for a rotted out truck in my area that doesn’t even move underneath it’s own power
I've have a 2014 F150 xl T 290000 miles Does not use any oil between oil changes, still runs like new with very good oil pressure. oil changed on this truck every 3500 miles since it was new
Just bought a Ford 2005, 5.4 3V triton. Has 197k miles 😬, will change oil, put new spark plugs and coils, see how much I can get out of it. Truck looks well taken care of pain inside, motor runs good no sounds, no rust. Any advice
@@carsthatlast441 Your friend should have gotten the V8 F150.. The 4.6L and the 5.0L are bulletproof. I do have a 3.5 Ecoboost in my 2016 Explorer and it has 153k on it but I keep up on oil changes and coolant flushes.
Dodge trucks had no major issues. Chrysler had some issues with their FWD transmissions for a while. Lol, people will parrot anything they hear from every tool. Chrysler's rear drive transmissions were always solid from the 727 up to the current 8 speed.
Did I miss the Nissan Frontier on the list? There was one that hit over 1 million miles recently. TFL and a few other truck news outlets did a story on it
My 2009 ford ranger xlt 4.0 engine, 5sp. auto trans, 2 wd. Has 243,000. Still running strong so far, knock on wood. No oil leaks or burn. No tranny slips. I feel Keep maintenenced every 3000 miles is the life line.
I feel how long a vehicle lasts depends heavily, almost exclusively, on how it is maintained. Meticulous maintenance goes a long way to extending the life of any vehicle.
337,596 miles on my Dad's 4.7 PowerTech 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee when we sold it. That thing still had great power and ran like a clock. Same engine as what went into the Dodge Ram.
Agreed Boss has a 40 year old F350 RwD flatbed 4 spd manual that still carries the heaviest loads of hay and cordwood no issue, with a 12' dump body, creeps right up the steepiest hills with 10,000 lbs of green red oak in the bed, or 120 bales stacked
Stated on another of your vids my 2011 Tundra 5.7L CrewMax has 214k and I’ve only replaced the starter, not counting fuel, tires, oil.....that’s it!edit-serp belt 2X
no, they are basically just as good. 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 are all basically bulletproof. The 5.3 not so much as of 07 because of AFM, but that can be disabled with a delete kit or a tuner.
@@danielparks9035 we have a 6.0 in the family since new. Probably 85K miles on it. It does use about 1/2 a quart of oil every 4K miles. Looking on the web, this seems to be fairly common.
My mom has an 04 durango with the 5.7 hemi magnum, 700,000 miles. Just an engine and transmission swap at about 400,000 and regular drivetrain maintenance
2004 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd 405,000 miles. 4.8 engine. I'm the original owner. Factory transmission failed at 107k. Like a dumbass went to dealer for replacement. Only 98k on it when it failed. Had a local transmission shop rebuild it. Got just over 200k before it failed. Ordered a reman and installed myself about a year ago. Runs great so far. Hope to see about 200k out of it. Also rebuilt the front and rear suspension my self. Rides like its new again. I will never get rid of this truck. Keeping it alive and well has become a hobby now. Thanks.
Very good vid and one I have waited to see. We are pretty die hard Toyota CAR fans, but for trucks the Nissan Frontier is my pic for a small truck, and the old "square body" pre 1988 Chevys are my favorite full size truck.
Maintenance is key here folks. Change your oil like its a religion
My brother has a 2012 f150 with the first gen 3.5 ecoboost, the truck has 272k miles on it and runs strong, he hasnt had to do anything major to this truck. definitely a strong solid truck.
I also have a ecboost that has 250k miles and I have don't to the true is oil changes
I have a 2014 f150 with a 3.5 ecoboost, at 183k and the 2nd turbo is about to go out at another $3k. I'm done with ecoboost.
Just asking for knowledge. Do you drive it to work or is a work truck. Do you tow anything?
I have a 2013 fx4 EcoBoost it had 3 miles on it I have 235,000 and the only time i took it into the dealer was recall stuff minor things and a bad sparkplug gap causing a misfire. I got a lot a flack for buying it but I've never had an issue I hope i can hand it down and keep it in family I've been so impressed with it.
They are going on 12 years with the 3.5 ecoboost and they keep perfecting them. I wouldn't hesitate to get one if I wanted a new truck. The 2.7s are supposedly so far, are very good. Ford will perfect the ecoboost and are pretty dam good at making them . The 2.7s are going on thier 7th year.
I just picked up a 1991 Ford F-150 short box 300 inline 6 with 525,000 miles on it runs like a top, paid $900 for it , from Texas!!
How's it going with the Truck?
When it finally goes, rebuild it. Inline 300s are the gold standard of truck engines. It’s equal or in most cases superior to most diesel engines. 700k is possible with good maintenance, a million if you’re religious about it.

@@rickysaavedra2666 I had two older ford rangers with over 275,000 when I sold it to the neighbor and the other one to a friend. I know the one for sure had over 325,000 after he sold it to another friend.. never had issues! It was the 3.0 liter
How’s the eco boost nowadays John? Buy one or no?
My 2010 ford f150 4x4 crew cab platinum with 140,000 miles is running great engine, transmission and rear end are quiet and purr so beautifully, no cabin noise either
Your approach is stellar, thanks for the info & saving me some time on doing excessive research
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
2014 f-150 with eco boost 212,000 miles. Only problem so far is leaking coolant from turbo on both sides replaced in the last year. About $500 fix for each. great truck so far
05 Silverado 2500 HD work truck w/ 6.0 litre V8.
I bought this truck in 2010 with 82,000 mi on it at an auction for $10,000 primarily to serve as my trailer pulling equipment hauling workhorse.
She now has 318,000 on her with the original motor in transmission. And let me tell you, while I take good care of my equipment, this truck has been WORKED. Runs strong and still blows cold air out of the dash! It's also worth noting that These older Iron Block LS "Vortec" engines seem to run much more efficiently with ethanol free gas.
The 6.0 was a great engine. I think the 6.6 gas will be just as reliable.
I’m gonna try this on my next fill up thanks
My dad bought a new Silverado in 09 with the v8. He beats that poor trucks to hell. Currently has more than 300k miles and is surprisingly still running. Helped me decide to go with Chevy when buying a truck last year.
Mine is an '07 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 I bought new with 8 miles on it. Currently has 240012 as of 12-26-20. Before this I got 243,000 plus some change out of my Dodge Dakota with a 4 cylinder, I called it my Singer sewing machine engine and after that many miles the wrist pins came loose allowing the pistons to hammer a couple of plugs flat but it went until it couldn't, no complaints from me, it served well.. I'll keep the Ram going as well until it just won't. Thumbs up on an informative researched channel.
02 Chev with over 500K , no major repairs just a lot of maintenance and tires over the years
Just scored a rust free Texas '01 Suburban LT with leather interior and new Alpine blue tooth radio, 5.3/4L60E, 320K original miles with all new recovered leather seats, state of the art VHS system and roof screen, nice shampooed carpet for $1500 !! Engine runs SMOOTH no ticks or knocks or clacks. Just oil change, shocks, tires, brake pads/rotors, filters and wipers thats really it.
have a 98 dodge dakota, 5.2 auto 4x4, bought it new. just about to turn 400,000 miles normal maintenance, only major work has been heater core/water pump replacement done at same time, still has original starter, alternator and transmission. proper maintenance makes the difference
My 2007 ford 5.4L V8 have just reached 200k miles with no problem in the engine (so far). Only changed spark plugs once.
I have a 2004 5.4 triton with 220,000.. my neighbor had 250,000 before he moved away and another guy had over 300,000
2010 4.6 3v here 220,119 on her shed still pulling and driving fun ! Did the tune up and now getting 16.5 city and highway getting 22.5 mpg
Used to get 10.5 city and 13-14 mpg hwy
I cant believe how expensive these trucks are now days. I just bought a 2015 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 5.0 V8 with 113K and it was still 35 grand. It is really clean, like new clean not a stain anywhere but dang that's expensive. Its a beautiful truck, I did some looking around and everything I saw was around the same price for year and make/model so it wasn't like they over priced it, they're just crazy expensive these days. I hope I can get over 300k on it because I'm going to have to drive it for a long time to justify the price tag.
Same here, 2019 Super cab 44000 miles near perfect but just the 3.3L NA. Beautiful truck and plenty of power for me especially in sport mode. I’m confident it will last forever and I love the aluminum body. $34000 a month or so ago. 👍
@@oldkicker8958 Nice buy, looks like they're coming down a little bit from when I bought mine (2021). The sport mode does have a lot of power. I try not to use it too much with the price of fuel these days...lol. I have 145k on it now and the truck is still running nicely.
@@DrewJ79 👍
I have a 97 F-150 4.6l with 250k on the clock . With that said, I think vehicles from mid 90s to mid 2000s are more reliable in general. Today’s trucks are more comfortable and techy but are less reliable. They can have that one or two more MPG alongside the problems that come with it. Good vid!
Amen! Late 90s-early 2000s were the pinnacle of reliability and longevity IMO. Gramps had a 95 Olds 88 with 3800 v6 that got 32 mpg highway and lots of get up and go! Once the EPA got involved, they ruined a lot of things, including the 3800 (series 3 of that motor only got mid 20s mpg)
i have a 1993 f150 and it still runs like a charm and theres barely any rust on it and its been working on a farm for id say 10 years and it just doenst stop going
i’m at 412k on an 04 F-150 with the old 4.6L. still gets 18mpg no leaks. Original owner. I just can’t see the value in getting a new one just yet….maybe when 25mpg is normal i consider a new f150. If you take care of your vehicles they will take care of you.
My grandmas 02 f150 4.2l is currently on 378k miles and running great
i have a 96 nissan hardbody with 330K and still runs fine
Interesting data. I’m impressed with the F150s numbers (20.3%) considering the sample size (4000.) I wonder how the other vehicles would stack up with similar sample sizes.
I have a 2012 Chevy Silverado that has 250,000. Runs like new
No issues.
Have a 98 silverado with 334,700 miles on it, doesn't drive like new tho lol
07 Silverado classic 285,000
2004 Expedition 4x4 5.4 engine 368k running great. Did have a transmission but the engine is original. 2 issues I have, a tire pressure monitor fault and the rear wiper doesn’t work.
My brother gave me his 2000 Ford F-150 4.2 V6 with 465,000 miles and still running all the only thing I change so far is the alternator. I am still searching how to fix the AC which is not cooling
1994 chevy 4.3L with 431,000 miles before the odometer quit working. Original motor, rebuilt transmission 360,000 miles ago
01 dodge dakota with a 4.7 at 269k presently, still gets over 20 mpg highway and runs very strong . The previous owner must have been meticuloud about fluid change intervals because it still runs and drives like new
I just took apart my 03 Silverado with a rusted frame original engine but trans was changed 2 times 554380 miles.
Typical chevy...rusted out
Half a million miles... "typical Chevy" lol
My dad owns a 2004 F150 has 230,000 miles on it still going strong we used it for hauling wood and cars
It's been through a lot of work
I had a 05 f150 with the 4.6L and I sold it at 315k
Ecoboost started in 2011 not 2009 (for f150)
HW Simmons nope started in 2009
@@prithvimann1539 I'm talking about in the f150, sorry didn't clarify.
HW Simmons it’s alright
@@hwsimmons9560 since we were talking about pickups here, i think everyone knew what you were talking about. ford always tries their engines in something other than the pickup...
I have a 2006 Silverado from Texas. It's held up really well here in MI. It gets a yearly rust proofing on the underside and I wax it before winter. So far 160k miles and half of those have been in Michigan. It's holding up really well.
Our 2013 F150 has as of today, 288,000 miles on it and still running. No major engine troubles at all. Starting to get minor glitches now, the back up camera quit working and the shocks are finally giving out. We live 25 miles outside of Fairbanks Alaska and our winters get to -45f some nights. Our truck has never not started due to the cold, but we do have three heaters on it that we plug in. Our oil has been changed every 5000 miles since it was brand new.
This video really came in handy because I been looking for a second vehicle but was scared of high mileage
get a Tundra they refuse to die
I have a 2000 Silverado stepside it has 286000 miles on it I am it's only owner. Still has the original transmission and engine no rebuild. Running strong
I have a 2011 f150 v6 200k had a transmission lead frame replaced, starter, tune up regular oil changes every 3-4k miles. The majority are interstate miles.
2015 GMC Sierra 1500. I needed a new engine and a new transmission at 150k! Regular service - oil, transmission, transfer case, tire rotation, all filters, coolant, differential fluid, brakes.... Everything! I have a 6" lift with 35's. Would these have anything to do with it? I expected to get 250k miles out of her. What do y'all think?
1999 Silverado ext cab has all original 324000 miles same engine and transmission same paint same interior still going strong
My 1992 Chevy Silverado still has the original transmission and motor in it, it has 259,334 miles on it and keeps on Truckin’.
2005 tundra with a 4.7 V-8. 226,000 miles. Changed belt and water pump twice. Steel runs like a top, handles like new
Researching new trucks now, I have plans to get a trailer and do some cross country traveling.
There are many examples of those 4.7s going a million plus. Yours is still just a baby 👶.
Not a truck but my 2010 Ford Explorer has gone 275,000. A couple repairs but overall it has been a good vehicle.
Great info ,thanks. Just got a high mileage 5.3 GMC. Runs like new so far. Corrected the valve cover issue with the after market modified.
I've always had high mileage vehicle's. Alota folks shy away from them but when ya don't have the best credit and have to pay cash for things ...... ya gotta take what ya can get. I just recently sold my 06 f-150 that had just shy of 300k on it.... and I was lazy on the oil changes...... the transmission made it to 260k before finally going out and when I took it in to be rebuilt the shop was amazed because they said it still had the orginal fluid and filter from the factory.... had never been touched. Currently In my driveway is my 04 Silverado with 265k on it.....and I swear it's been close to a year since I changed the oil in the thing.... and it gets driven 150 miles a day. And just a month ago i picked up a 2010 f-150 platinum with the 5.4 3v with 250k on it...... but beat believe I will stay on top of oil changes on the Ford. I really feel like they mad great trucks in the early mid 2000's......and don't be like me..... change your damn oil! 😂😂😂
I just got lucky 💁♂️
Lol thanks for the post. I think there are a lot of awesome cars and trucks in the early 2000s for sure. Lots of them went to crap when the economy taked in 08 and 09. Change those fluids!!! Lol
I have a 2009 F150 4.6l 3V with 358,000 miles same engine and trans. No problems
2009 f150 with the 4.6 3V 253 thousand XLT 4X4 Super crew cab still running strong.
Interesting video, I personally own a 1988 Chevy obs C1500 with 256,000 original miles on the original drivetrain still running strong and driven daily 😁
I just saw a review from a 2011 ford f150 ecoboost motor and he turned 400,000 miles in it in 2020. He said coil packs were the only troublesome component he dealt with. The ecoboost issues typically stem from delaying oil changes from the manufacturers recommendations and/or using the incorrect oil viscosity.
On online mechanic said the biggest problem he sees with the Ecoboost F150's is people driving them too gently and the wastegates start to get stuck. Drive 'em hard enough to use the turbo a few times a week at least and it'll probably be fine.
@@townhall05446 Yeah you need to feel the power ! That's what its made for !
I have a 2007 f150 with the 5.4 an mine has 240,000 miles still running great
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab 4x4 with 153,500 miles. I bought it with 92,000 back in 2011. I have replaced the oil pressure sensor, of course the plugs and wires, the fuel tank straps (rusted away), the entire brake system (lines completely rusted away and started blowing out) and replaced the lines with stainless and that sucked. Now I'm considering getting a new truck later this year.
All these trucks that u listed I see for sale needing transmissions and front differentials. They still want $3000 for a rotted out truck in my area that doesn’t even move underneath it’s own power
Ppl ridiculous with truck prices
I've have a 2014 F150 xl T 290000 miles Does not use any oil between oil changes, still runs like new with very good oil pressure. oil changed on this truck every 3500 miles since it was new
Do you change your transmission oil?
Just bought a Ford 2005, 5.4 3V triton. Has 197k miles 😬, will change oil, put new spark plugs and coils, see how much I can get out of it. Truck looks well taken care of pain inside, motor runs good no sounds, no rust.
Any advice
Can you do a video on impact on used car prices after Hertz bankruptcy?
I will give it some consideration, thanks!
@@carsthatlast441 Your friend should have gotten the V8 F150.. The 4.6L and the 5.0L are bulletproof. I do have a 3.5 Ecoboost in my 2016 Explorer and it has 153k on it but I keep up on oil changes and coolant flushes.
Only 90k on my (1 owner) 2005 Silverado Z71. Runs like a dream!
He really forgot about all the transmission problems on them old dodges
yah my transmission was like hitting a boulder from 1st to 2nd gear lol
No need to write "old" before dodge
Hes a jackass
Dodge trucks had no major issues. Chrysler had some issues with their FWD transmissions for a while. Lol, people will parrot anything they hear from every tool. Chrysler's rear drive transmissions were always solid from the 727 up to the current 8 speed.
@@magnusatheos7301 fca doesn't make the 8 speed.
Did I miss the Nissan Frontier on the list? There was one that hit over 1 million miles recently. TFL and a few other truck news outlets did a story on it

My truck is F-150 2014 4x4 with a 5.0L. V8 and 313,000 miles on original engine and transmission and still running like a clock.
@dogtrailhomestead2037 do you change your transmission fluid?
I feel how long a vehicle lasts depends heavily, almost exclusively, on how it is maintained. Meticulous maintenance goes a long way to extending the life of any vehicle.

Do the ford f150 have the same v8 engines as the ford e150?
I have 2005 Ford ranger with over 400k miles. I will keep it until all my hair turned gray.

Every one with a Ford Ranger says that.

I was curious about the Nissan Titan as a value used truck.
I’ve heard they are incredibly good trucks just a bit simpler but I looked them up and they ain’t cheap anymore.
337,596 miles on my Dad's 4.7 PowerTech 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee when we sold it. That thing still had great power and ran like a clock. Same engine as what went into the Dodge Ram.
I know it sounds pretty outdated these days, but the old 300 i6 ford should have been somewhere on this list. Bulletproof engine.
Agreed
Boss has a 40 year old F350 RwD flatbed 4 spd manual that still carries the heaviest loads of hay and cordwood no issue, with a 12' dump body, creeps right up the steepiest hills with 10,000 lbs of green red oak in the bed, or 120 bales stacked
They were good engines, like GM’s 292 i6, if you weren’t in a hurry to get some where, and didn’t haul any loads!
I have a 2007 F150 with the 4.6 V8 It has 316K miles and runs great..
Stated on another of your vids my 2011 Tundra 5.7L CrewMax has 214k and I’ve only replaced the starter, not counting fuel, tires, oil.....that’s it!edit-serp belt 2X
what about the 6 liter Vortec? do they fail faster than the 5.3 liter vortec?
no, they are basically just as good. 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 are all basically bulletproof. The 5.3 not so much as of 07 because of AFM, but that can be disabled with a delete kit or a tuner.
@@danielparks9035 we have a 6.0 in the family since new. Probably 85K miles on it. It does use about 1/2 a quart of oil every 4K miles. Looking on the web, this seems to be fairly common.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd 405,000 miles. 4.8 engine. I'm the original owner. Factory transmission failed at 107k. Like a dumbass went to dealer for replacement. Only 98k on it when it failed. Had a local transmission shop rebuild it. Got just over 200k before it failed. Ordered a reman and installed myself about a year ago. Runs great so far. Hope to see about 200k out of it. Also rebuilt the front and rear suspension my self. Rides like its new again. I will never get rid of this truck. Keeping it alive and well has become a hobby now. Thanks.
Very good vid and one I have waited to see. We are pretty die hard Toyota CAR fans, but for trucks the Nissan Frontier is my pic for a small truck, and the old "square body" pre 1988 Chevys are my favorite full size truck.
Thanks!
4:48 I agree. My dad had a 2013 GMC Acadia and it lasted till 339,000 Miles which is pretty cool, but my dad sadly sold it which made me sad.
