250,000 Miles Today

Check your math.

 

It was me at the top of page 4.

 

This may have already been answered, but I'm too lazy to read the thread:

OP, how is oil consumption at that mileage? I have a Corolla just shy of 200k, it eats about a quart of oil every 2500 miles or so...not too bad. Still runs like a top and has never required anything but maintenance though...can't complain.

Wondering how my 4.0L is gonna do under the same circumstances...only about a 10th of the way there at the moment though...

 

Pretty sure OP has posted photos in other threads. I remember seeing one with him at like 236k

 

haters gonna hate..dude travels so probably has a real camera and not a phone camera.. whateves.. thinks it is real until disproven

 

That is super depressing...

 

honestly give me lots of hope! Thank you sir gnyla! I can't wait to see the 300k mark once you hit it. Toyota still states that these trucks will and should have no problem seeing 300k miles. I love our trucks!

 

You sir (OP), are an inspiration.

 

Pretty sure my father-in-law has about 250,000 on his F-250....just saying.

 

You'll be surprised.

F-150 with that mileage are not uncommon here. They are built like tank.

 

I don't think door handles on an F-150 would last to 150,000. I'm sure it'd make it to 300k, but it won't be pretty.

 

That sir is amazing!

 

There are tons of American made HD trucks over 200k.

 

There was a 2005 DCLB Tacoma in the local classifieds a couple of weeks ago with 411 000km (or 255 000miles). Asking price was $6900, so probably wasn't a typo. This thread and that ad are very encouraging as I'm planning to keep this truck as a daily driver for the next 10 years. Currently at 110k km or 68k miles.

 

or perhaps driver error...i've had a couple of chevy cars with 120K miles on teh clutches....it's all about how you use them....

 

Some folks have really nice cameras/phone cameras. My BlackBerry is horrible In low light.

 

Seriously?

Dude, why would I do that?

Most of those miles have been put on in pursuit of taking photographs across the southwest. Photography is my hobby, the truck is a tool to get me there. So, I have very high end camera equipment and know how to use it, so I am sorry that the photo is "far too clear". I had planned and practiced for that moment.

How about this quick snapshot taken this morning while my truck was warming up after I read this?

 

And it still looks great!

 

yep I came to your defense..

 

Hey I stand corrected. I apologize. The picture looks so clear, especially at 75mph with a dead even mileage that is extremely high. Can't blame a brother for being skeptical!
