Truck Prices & Mileage
Starting to look at used trucks in order to pull a 5th wheel (don't have the 5th wheel yet). Will be looking at used, gas, 3/4 ton. I have never owned a truck before. I live in upstate NY. I can't...

It all depends upon what the previous owner used the truck for that's determined the mileage. That's why diesels are really a good value. At 100,000 miles, they are JUST getting broken in. 100,000 miles on a gasoline engine, and they are ready for an over-haul.
About the cost of a used truck? Consider new costs between $50,000 and $80,000, the used price is going to be steep too on any age truck.
Maybe back in the 60's, todays gas engine will go 3-400k just like a diesel, the only difference is they cost alot less to fix when something bad goes wrong.
