<p>[QUOTE="Rideandrepair, post: 12379122, member: 168603"]389k on a 5 yr old Trucks no problem IMO. Almost 80k per year. Really need to run the vin, get the in service date, along with any warranty work that’s been done. It may have sat in the shop a few times, eventually replacing every emission component. That wouldn’t exactly be a bad thing either. 4 yrs./500k seems to be the average. Not everyone runs a Truck that hard. I don’t anymore. 80k per years plenty for me these days. Much more seems like Slavery. Wasted too many years doing that. I think if I had to run 100-120k per year to survive, I’d find another Occupation. Besides every operation is different. 389k on a city Truck, and often it’s a piece of Junk. I’d be more concerned with what work it did in the past, and how it was most likely driven.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
