      Best truck? Easy my 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500, 6.0L Vortec. 363,800 miles when purchased, Jan '15. Now at 428,500 miles, May '19. $2,600 out the door cost. However, you have a very nice looking truck. Hope it continue to work many more miles for you.

    4L60E is a very reliable transmission. One of the cheapest to rebuild. I have to disagree on not being reliable comments. Love these trucks. I have had 4 and all were good. Driving a new looking 2007 today. Zero rust on the body and a tiny amount on the frame which I have cleaned and coated. 4.8 running like a charm. Everything in the North East rust. I'm in NC. My dad had a 1995 model and the transmission was rebuilt a 100K but the 350 engine has 300K today and still running.

    2010 f-150 5.4L with 213,000 miles. Has cracked exhaust manifold, rear cab corners are rusted out, and the truck always thinks my rear doors are open and warns me every time I start it up. Otherwise been very happy with it. Drives smooth, shifts nice, steering is tight. I tow my bobcat a few times a year and my fishing boat pretty often. My local bar tender had his 2009 up to 260,000 miles before trading in. Ran good but had the same rusted cab corners I have on mine.

    I've got you beat! 230,000 miles on my 2010 that is an exact twin of your truck, except mine is an LT with tan leather and 20" chrome wheels. It's been a very dependable truck. Only real breakdown was a right front wheel bearing. It went from "what's that noise?" to "Holy crap I hope I make it to the shop before the wheel falls off!" in one day. Shocks replaced with KYB and also replaced tie rod ends and anti-sway bar bushing. Rear diff had a slight leak so that took a new seal for $600! Everything still works but driver side switch paned is replaced and pass side needs a switch ...it'll go down but not back up. I plan on driving it until one of us croaks.

That lasted about 2000 mile and the light came on again. This time they said the engine was done. {Different Chevy dealer}. They could'nt explain why. Said it was a bad design and it happens. No credit for the initial fuel pump {$1200} and $8600 for a replacement crate motor. I went to an independent guy to do the work and the dealer had the nerve to try and undercut the price of the independent guy. It was a total F-you from my perspective.

Tranny shifts well. My favorite part is it doesn't have the push button or knob switch 4x4. An actual shift lever like the mid 90s trucks had. That drew me to it right away. What I really dislike is the instrument cluster it doesn't have a battery voltage guage or oil pressure guage. Just the idiot lights. Why were some made like that?

And that was just somtimes. On cold start and driving cold it would shift hard but still would shift. My 2013 gmc sierra has 82k miles and so far it seems okay no lifter noise nor did my 03. I have a powertrain warranty I paid for it which covers the engine, transmission and transfercase. Fingers crossed😁

    and i have completely replaced the entire front suspension, upper control arms and balljoints, lower ball joints, tie rod ends,, one wheel bearing and both CV axles due to failures on these components. without offroading.
    all before 90,000 miles
    and the transmission exploded and died a loud terrible death. at 70,000 miles. with mild towing.
    Radio fried, EVAP purge solenoid failure 2x, Fuel pump control module failed due to water intrusion, airbag light is on and the notorious EVAP small leak code has been on for 2 years, without an obvious cause. replaced all hardware, and gas cap. still on.
    the only good thing about these trucks i like are the engine. and body style, i think they look great. but other than that, im selling it soon. had it for yeeeears, and been a money pit the whole time.

      @@RW-td2hz After 200K miles i suggest you start using 10W-30 instead of the factory 5W-30, the reason is that once a truck gets older it burns oil faster, 10W-30 is thicker than 5W 30 therefore it will be less likely to start burn once you get near an oil change. Also watch out for the motor mounts because they are notorious for needing to be replaced after time on these trucks. Otherwise 190K miles if you take care of it you should have no problem at all getting to 300K. Good luck!
