re: Looking for a work truck to put high miles on

I put 200,000 on F150's in about 2 yrs time.
Now I use to go fancy with higher level package.
At this time I have a Chevy Colorado to wheel around town and my F150 is for work.
I owned 2001,2003, 2005, 2007,2009,2011,2013,presently 2015 3.5 non ecoboost v6, and picking up 2017 in two weeks.
Due to mileage I stay with basic package for I might splurge and go with a sports package.
Granted I drive hwy miles and sometimes tow a 4,000 lb trailer.
Never had mechanical issues.
I rotate my tires every oil change 5000 miles and get 60k to 105k on good set of tires.
Two trucks I have just changed the rear pads only.
This 2015 F150 I have only just put a cheap set of tires on it after 100,000 miles to get me through to when my new truck comes in.
Gas mileage in town avg 19-21 mpg
On hwy 21 to 24 mpg
If I tow a small aluminum boat 17-21 mpg
If I tow a heavy trailerit is all over the board depending on how windy it is.

Rotate and oil every 2.5 weeks? Geez. I hope you are traveling the country for work and not just commuting to an office. I couldnt do it

Fook mi, that's a lot of trading/buying, baw. Hope you make money on those from your employer/business. That looks expensive to me and I'm a 1%er (close enough, anyway).
