In my experience it’s all about the types of mileage. I had a truck in our department we used to run parts all over the region. With basic maintenance we got 280k miles out of it before someone T bones the truck in an intersection.
I had a 10 year ild Sierra that I towed a trailer cross country at 120k miles. That was the begin of the end as the transmission started acting up at 140k miles. Also, after 10 years random shite kept breaking like the door handles and the lock on the tailgate.

I saw a documentary about a Chinese company working in Africa. The Chinaman manager said their trucks lasted 10-12 years in China. With the Africans using their trucks and doing maintenance, the same truck lasted 5-6 years. The Chinaman was not impressed with the Africans.
