Finally half million
First time I ever drove a truck from brand new to 500,000 plus all myself.
2001 F-250, 4x4, CC, lariet, auto. easily pulled a gooseneck trailer 70 % of the time. And did all this while putting 180,000 on a supercrew, 150,000 + on a 2005 F-350 and several cars in between. 501,584 now, and hooked up and ready to go this morn.

I think your first sentence is the reason you got this far. I also drove my truck off the lot brand new. You can look in my gallery and see the shape I kept it in. I think I can count on one hand the times I let someone else drive it, and only one time I wasn't in the truck that was driven 2 miles.
. Maintenance is the key to get those kind of miles on these trucks.

That's a lot of diesel fuel Rick and a lot of good maintenance. It's a tribute to taking care of the truck and having a good one to start with. Congratulations buddy ! Many more miles to go, you are halfway there.

Nice! Congrats.
My truck is a baby at only 287k miles....
At my current rate it will take me quite a while to hit the half million mile mark. (but I'll keep trying anyway...
)
Mines at 183K and either I'm hard on seats or there made like crap.
