Just curious how many miles y’all have racked up on your tow vehicle and what kind it is? Need some reassurance on my 01’ Silverado 1500 266,650 Miles on her original drive train and still pulling my trailer like a champ!

LOL I feel like such an under achiever among this group.

Only 150K on this nissan frontier, about 50K to 60K of that towing, and 60K on the F350, almost all of it towing.

215,000 miles on a 2002 Chevy 1500 HD with the 6.0 gasser that I bought new.

It's been a great truck, but I'm in your same boat, wondering how long to hang on to it.

The only repairs I've had to do were
Starter
Front wheel bearings
Water pump
Fuel pump
A/C compressor

The fuel pump was the only think that left me on the side of the road. Dies 6 miles from the campground on a 6 hour drive. Road side assistance took the truck to repair, and the camper to the campground.

One amazing thing is the brake pads are still original.

I have put 78,000 miles on my F-150 35,000 of that is towing.

My last three trucks have all had 200,000 mile on them, but up here is snow and rock salt country the bodies corrode before the motors give out.
Twenty six foot 2010 Dutchmen Lite pulled with a 2011 EcoBoost F-150 4x4.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.
