Anyway, my last couple used trucks have all been high mileage and they ran like a champ and were just super trucks.

My dad also works as a professional mechanic in Martinsburg, WV, so he has always been on hand to help me keep stuff up and running, and the dealership has given me good prices on whole-sale and other high-mileage trade in trucks.

My last few trucks:

1994 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4: 189,000 mile
1994 Dodge Dakota 4X4: 212,000 miles.
1997 Ford F150 4X4: 225,000 miles.

My current truck, which was just paid off yesterday, is a 2006 Ford Ranger SCrew 4X4, with a 5 spd. It has 102,000 miles and has been running full synth. since it was new. no probs what so ever. should easily get 300K+ out of it...

I will have to say the Rangers last awhile, my one buddy seriously did nothing to his, like maybe 2 oil changes a year and I think he got 200k miles out of it, crazy!
