Used Trucks

What's the "sweet spot" on the mileage you'd feel comfortable with?
14

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.

Depending on what month in 2015 your truck was built, you may have bought a truck with 20,000 miles per year on it.

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.
Posted on 3/7/18 at 10:18 am to Coach72
I prefer under 50K, but if it was a Tundra or Tacoma, I wouldn't mind going higher if the price was right.

get the cheaper one, put the difference between that note (if there is one) and a new vehicle note into savings until you have a few thousand saved up for any unexpected repair then...profit. Even still, the interest you'll pay on a small signature loan for car repairs will be considerably less than the interest and depreciation expense you'll see on a new vehicle.

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.

that's not bad. they got a 2014 platinum with 35k for 35 in BR somewhere. don't wanna spend that much on a 4 year old truck though.

Right now used truck prices are pretty crazy. You may be better off just buying a new truck.
Pretty much all new trucks are getting 10-12k off sticker some even 15k.
