about 155k on '06 Ranger, engine "tweaked" by my NC step son in law who owns a speed shop. 275hp now, 207 when new/no supercharger. Best I actually DRIVE it myself, no ^&*)__( gear changing machine, one clutch job at 125k. Was Zeibart when new, just a little rust here/there. Next would be the Tacoma, can get both the big 6, and again, Drive it, not Aim it. (If had damaged left leg/knee could would have to suffer with the slushbox). Never owned one, hate the tought of maybe having to spend the $$ on one)

My 1999 Ford 7.3 Liter diesel just turned 200,000 miles. I guess the oil should be changed, eh? I hope that you set aside some money! 😁 I wish that was possible. |

We had a '90 Tacoma until it got T-boned. Well over 200k miles. So we bought another one. Low maintenance, Japanese but made in 'merica. She had a used Dodge Ram briefly in the interim and was a money pit. Detroit rolling steel is no more. I'm on my second RAM truck and have yet to spend any money on anything but regular maintenance. |

I have a 2017 Silverado z71 regular cab short bed 5.3 6spd auto. I let the wife drive it first auto I ever had, not my thing. Still driving 2002 Tacoma 5sp 2.7L regular cab 270k on it. Inside bed and tailgate are kinda beat up hauled lots of firewood. Put 26 bales of alfalfa on it and hauled home once. Usual just 19-22 bales. Toyo MT 10ply on it with 100,000 miles on them and still going. Never thought I would get 100,000 miles out of a set of MT's. Need to get new ones by next winter

My 02 is a lot lighter than a 13 so run them at about 32-34 pump them to 55 when hauling almost 1/2 cord of wood or hay
