400,000 very hard miles on mine. Empty weight is 8500 lbs. typical loaded weight is 22k combined, sometimes up to 25k. Over half the miles are towing miles. Engine and trams is all original, except my belt tensioner pulley seized last night, and I've had to replace a few starter relays, a radiator and the alternator.

You've got a very good vehicle...full size, heavy duty van with a bullet proof power train.

When the time comes ....and it does for every vehicle...what will you replace it with, assuming your vehicle needs have not changed ?
