Used Trucks

What's the "sweet spot" on the mileage you'd feel comfortable with?

I just got a 2015 with only 28k miles. Anything less than 10k per year and Im happy. Don't buy anything with >50k

Gas or Diesel?

Miles are nothing on these newer trucks. Depending on your budget you can get some damn good trucks with 150k and it'll be just fine.

Bought a 08 Silverado with 75k on it in 2011. It has I think around 160k on it now. I got it for $10k

In today's trucks, age is more important than miles. They're built to be driven.

I wrecked a 2013 F-150 that was going strong at 138K in 2016. Replaced it with a 2014 F-150 that had 72K on it. It’s currently getting a new motor at 163K. Both 5.0’s. My boss had to put a new motor in at 210K in his old truck. 5.0 also.
To be fair, we’re fairly rough on them... 55-60K miles/year on a farm most of the day from March-Thanksgiving.

Appreciate all of the input.
Looking for gas. Normal vehicle usage with the exception of occasionally pulling a boat.
My dilemma is go with a newer and have a higher note, or a cheaper one with considerable mileage and risk having to come out of pocket for a major repair in the first few years. That second scenario is a killer for me.

I have 167K on my '05 F150. I'm going to drive it until it breaks, fix it, and keep going. I'm not paying new truck prices.

I prefer under 50K, but if it was a Tundra or Tacoma, I wouldn't mind going higher if the price was right.

I have a 2000 Ford Excursion sneaking up on 200k miles. Had one major issue at around 160k, had to redo two valves. While the head was off, went ahead and replaced timing chain and some other stuff done. It cost 2200, or roughly 3 monthly truck notes, and she's running like a champ.

ford or chevy is "ok" at 100k and they should go to 200k no worries, at 250k i would start watching for signs of smoking, burning oil, or power loss. i am not familiar with dodge but i would think they are about the same.
toyota im good with up until 200k and they should go to 400k no worries, at 450k i would start watching for signs of smoking, burning oil, or power loss.
i am not familiar with honda or nissan but i would think they are about somewhere between ford, chevy, dodge, and what you get with the toyotas.

Got a Tacoma with 100. Still feels like it would be a brand new truck. 0 issues whatsoever.

All miles are not created equal, 30,000 a year by a soccer mom hauling kids is very different from 15,000 per dragging a loaded trailer.
The bed, bumper, and reciever hitch tells most of the story and is far more important than milage IMHO

The sweet spot depends on two things...
How much you're spending and how long you intend on keeping the truck.
