My Pick-up has about 150,000.
My Dumptruck has about 535,000!  It used to be a road tractor and was converted to a dump. |

241,000 on the f250 7.3l turbo diesel, 252,000 on the toyota. Both run great, oil changes every 2,500 or so, and the big truck burns bio-diesel. Thier both a little banged up, but strong workers. Like me I guess.

Re: What's The Mileage On Your Main Work Truck?
Mike It's a 250 'heavy'. Uses a lot of 350 parts and it's hard to ge the right part at times. That's not a ton of block. It's 4,200 lbs. of block.
Check this out.  Over 3 tons of crusher run. Our local quarry said it was $15.00 per ton, but only $10.00 per P/U load. The gal looked at the scale, looked at the truck, back to the scale and busted a gut laughing, said " Yep! That's a P/U load!" Scale receipt read 13,897 lbs. Empty, wth tools, 5,400.
