2011 Ram with 500K miles
There is a post on Cumminsforum.com about a 2011 Ram that has racked up 1/2 million miles in less than 3 years. THAT is a lot of time behind the wheel.

I've seen high mileage claims....even on Fords. Do you believe those claims if they're made for a Ford ? ;)
If I read accounts of the type of service a truck does to accumulate those high miles...and it rings true...I do believe a number of them...not all, but a number.
BTW, I'm not anti Ford...much the opposite. Many years ago I drove MDT commercial trucks..to work my way through university.
The company I worked for primarily used Fords...E 350 DRW cargos, F 600/700's. Diesel engines weren't as prolific then...so invariably the engines were gassers. Truck 460's, couple of 300 I 6's, 370 V8's.
I have no complaints about these Ford engines. They were utterly reliable, durable under severe work and climatic conditions and just minimally maintained.
Also high mileage with some...though no million milers that I recall. Although my work then was a mix of city/highway...mostly city.
I could see however if you were on the highway continually...making deliveries...say inter city...you could rack up high miles in a hurry.
