why would any body buy a truck with 200k on it, the motor might run but the rest of the truck is worn out, every bolt weld etc on the truck is worn out.
So much misinformation! Do you really think that a truck with a million mile engine would be falling apart a a mere 200,000K? It is all about maintenance and care. There are trucks out there with 75,000K that are falling apart.
I guess I should have a salvage truck running behind me to pick up all the parts falling off of my 2001 Ram CTD with just 279,000 miles!
Well the truth is looks as good as the day the 1st owner drove it off the lot new. He traded it on a new 2011 in the fall of 2010, with 234,000 miles.
Well 279,000 miles on a 2001 fully loaded Laramie SLT, and it all still works. It will continue to work as any failure will be dealt with. The two biggest item I have done to the truck, are replace the main door gaskets, as they were a little chewed up where you step over then getting in and out. I also noticed the outside seam and edge of the drivers seat breaking down so I had it repaired, both totaled about $250.
