Re: Highest Milage
I retired my 87 GMC 1/2 ton with 325,000 on it, and converted it into a hunting truck, I still own it. I retired my 94 GMC 1/2 ton with 290,000 on it, it is now the errand truck for my chassis business, and has 349,000 on it. My current truck is a 03 GMC 1/2 ton, it has 68,000 on it, but may get retired early, my wife wants the truck cause it has heated leather seats, and I am thinking about downsizing to a Canyon to save money on gas.

Re: Highest Milage
How do you put that much mileage on a truck in 8 years ? That comes out to around 4000 miles a month, thats a lot of driving.

Re: Highest Milage
540,000 miles on my 1993 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton. Upon getting to the 500,000 mark Chevrolet was so pleased they gave me a coupon for a free lube-oil-and filter redemable at any dealer.
I would have gotten more miles out of that truck had it not been stolen in June of this year in Kent, Washington. |

Re: Highest Milage
We own a 1988 Mack tractor converted to a single axle dump that has over 1 million miles on it. Its still my favorite truck.

Re: Highest Milage
I was working with a guy that has an f-150 with over 450000 miles.
I know a painter with a dodge van on which the odomiter has rolled over at least 4 times, so at least 400,000 miles. |
