Really not that amazing and it should not be. You get cars that easily turn 100,000miles without major issues. Also Pickup manufacturers give warranties that are 5yrs now. Isuzu DMax said you should get 350,000km or 220,000 miles before a major overhaul. 95% sold have met that target
Some of the cars in Africa including the Peugot 404 Ute in Africa received substantial abuse
You left out where I said...quote
""Thats amazing.....but not surprising for any 3/4 ton HD Dodge/Ram....Ford super duties or the GM twins. Especially out here in farm and ranch country where some of these trucks don't see many highway miles other than farm to market.
Many spend most of their lives in 4wd mode pulling some type of equipment off pavement on dirt trails or county roads or pastures/etc especially flat bed trucks with a feeder/bale spear in the bed.""
My reply is towards the 2500 Ram truck in the origional post.
Having owned and operated LDTs in commercial service I can say it is amazing when one can go 100k miles without any issues on the highway....but especially amazing in those conditions that Ram truck was operated in.
