Truck Mileage - how high would you go?

[mike033089]

I bought a return lease with under 30k miles on it.  I like low miles because I dread the idea of a repair bill while I’m still making payments on it. But I do plan to run it to the ground unless a crazy high repair bill.

it's a massive 3.5 6 cyl....

Look at these specs Yota-boy!!!!   And I get 17/25 mpg!!!!

Horsepower	400 HP
Torque	500 lb.-ft.
Transmission	Ten-speed automatic
Max. Towing Capacity	14,000 lbs.
Max. Payload Capacity	3,250 lbs.

 

COMPARED TO THE TUNDRA GAS GUZZLING 8 - it's so embarassing !!!!!

• 381 hp.

Your Toyota Tundra has a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds when properly equipped. You can also haul around 1,600 pounds in the bed. You’ll even have towing support from the TOW/HAUL mode feature on your vehicle’s engine.

I have money because I don’t do that stupid shit .

i get 250000-350000 out of a truck before i get rid of it .

a new truck isn’t broke in until 100000 miles .

 

Well accept for Fords, those you have to get rid of by 100k😂. My GMC 2500 has 237k miles and still going strong 💪

They keep telling guys a 150 6 cyl can tow 14000 pounds (probably get 1 mpg if it’s rolling at all)

or can put 1 1/2 tons of pellets in the bed , no wonder they don’t last .

You can't go wrong with a F 150 . many different engines, alum body, won't rust. Best selling truck in America. I have my eyes on one.

I agree , many guys don’t ever put anything in their truck bed . BUT the ratings Jack listed aren’t happening with that truck .

I have been towing horses and boats my whole life . You start towing something over 8k your truck needs to be set up for it .

class IV  hitch that comes on those trucks is rated for 10k , not 14k

I learned quite a bit of their scam .

especially  the  part where they tell you , you will receive the maximum donation price based on the vehicle sale st auction.

then you get a receipt for 500 bucks , (which is the  maximum allowed on your taxes ) 

if I knew that the truck I donated I would have sold for 3-4000

New Trucks so over priced . I hope the truck I have now is my last.

You can totally go wrong! lol look at all the recalls. I’ll be honest, I used to be a Ford guy. Been jerked around too many times by BS issues and the ridiculously criminal service of Ford. Their master mechanics have to go to school on how to be crooks. I’m in a 2016 Tacoma right now with 250,000 miles. I hope to get at least another 100-150k out of it. After that I think I’ll go back to a full size. Thinking about going Chevy or Ram. We will see, I have plenty of time.
