How many tow miles can one used truck handle?
I am new to the forums so this may have been answered many times over, my apologies. My husband and I are looking at used (~ yr 2005+, under 150k miles) Chevy Silverado 2500 w/Duramax engine/Alliso...

This is kind of like asking how high is up. So many things come into play it's impossible to answer. That being said here is MHO.
People worry Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much about drive trains of pickups. I own an 05+ Duramax so I can talk about what you are trying to do.
The things you have to worry about is window motors, AC pumps, alternators, seats, plastic junk that breaks in the interior, door seals, rubber anything, shocks, suspension components and many other things. That is what's going to more than likely go bad on an older truck or car.
"If taken care of" engines and transmissions can go many 100's of 1,000's of miles easy.
By the way. I would much rather have a truck with 150K on it that was taken care of rather than a truck with 50K on it that was thrashed.
Happy hunting!
