- LVJJJExplorer1965 Chevy Van, 90,000 miles since installing 292, TH350 in '88. Probably over 250,000 total.
1994 GMC k-1500 Suburban, 144,000, only about 6,000 towing since purchased in 2017. Was a one owner, garaged only driven 6,000 miles a year, so looks pristine. Have had to make many small upgrades to get the weak 350 to be able to tow around 5500 lbs. I think the 6 cyl 292 is a better tow motor. - DavidPExplorer2005 Nissan Armada. 120K. All towing miles since 70K. Eventually will pick up a ¾ or 1 ton but it does fine for our 30 footer.
List of mods include: JBA LT Silver ceramic coated headers, Cajun B-Pipes with high flow Cats, Borla Dual SS Cat Back, Uprev Tuned, K&N Air Charger, CSF 3328 Aluminum Radiator, Moog 81085 Rear Coils w/AirLift 1000, Bilstein 4600 HD's front, , Nissan Tow Mirrors, Grille Craft Upper and Lower Grill, Burtman Rear Air Reflector, Manik SS Nerf Bars - GottaRunGottaCaExplorer2001 F-250 V10 207,000 miles, about half of that towing toy hauler / fifth wheel / boat, I ordered this truck & took delivery Jan / 2001 and it's been the best truck I have ever owned.
2014 F-150 ecoboost 96,000 miles, about 25,000 towing 6'x10' or 7' x 16' enclosed trailer

WOW only 97K. I going to have to drive out to Chicago and make you an offer you can't refuse. LOL...... "Don't you wanna move up to a class A"?
Actually I do. But that’s not going to happen for a while with 2 kids going to college. LOL - Passin_ThruExplorerChevy DuramaxHD 2006 156000 Turbo failed and was worried it sucked stuff into Pistons so bought a new motor from Chevy. Total 12000 but cheaper thana 70000 pickup.

1979 Ford F250. About 290,000 miles on the engine (5.9 Cummins) Not a bit worried about towing anywhere.
OK, I'll bite, a Ford with a Cummins engine?
I purchased a '89 Dodge with a Cummins diesel that had 271,000 miles on the odometer. I put the engine and transmission in my '79 F250. I just looked at the odometer in the Ford and see I have driven 47,000 miles since I put the engine in, so I have closer to 318,000 miles on it now. - drsteveExplorerTruck in my sig has 94,000 miles. Bought it new in 06, used it as a daily driver until I retired in 08. Now it mostly tows our camper, and goes to the lumberyard or landscaping supply now and then.
