Too many miles on truck before long trip?
I have a 2008 3/4 ton, GMC with 180k miles. HATE the thought of replacing it any time soon, but am I crazy to try and plan a 10k cross-country road trip towing our 5'er? -Tony

I'll bite and assume your GMC has the 6.0 Vortec.
The 6.0 is a strong and reliable engine. The transmissions are well built and durable. However, only you know the maint and or history of your truck.
I'm at 140k on my 2009. Runs like brand new. Has a couple squeaks, driver's door gets hard to close on cold mornings. I can trade up and pay x dollars or I can continue with what I own free and clear.
Besides pulling cargo and equipment trailers in my contracting biz, we pulled our RV to Myrtle Beach SC, up into the Smoky Mtns of Tn, and down into Arkansas, all last year, and without a hitch.
If you can afford it, then trade. If you are a cheapskate like me, keep your wallet in your backpocket.
