It's been a good run
If all goes well and should I will be leaving the V-10 group and going over to the 6.2 crowd with a new '12 F250 CC 4X4. Pretty much the same as I have now in the '05 Lariat. We made it to a grand total of 427,450 miles today. It has been and still is a great truck. We're changing because of the way depreciation and taxes work. Anyway I hope the 6.2 follows in it's big brothers foot steps. Truck is going to stay in the family just not working so hard. Thanks

05v10,
Congrats on the mileage milestone!!!!!!!
I would ask one favor of you (like I asked before). Please post a pic of your speedometer. I've used your example in the past concerning the mileage V10's can obtain if properly maintained. The last pic I have from you is at 375K I believe.
Thanks in advance.

Of course, he also had a 1984 Bronco II with over 450,000 miles on it. Changed the timing set once and the transmission bearings a few times. That too was about 1/2 towing repos. It was still running fine, but was due for transmission bearings again and the body was finally rusting out.

Good luck with the new truck. Eventually, we will all be done with the V10's in the 3/4 and 1 ton anyway.
Some sooner than others though. My 2010 6.8 has less than 10k miles.

Here is the one from a while back at 400,000. I'll try to get a new pic in the next few days. My usage is somewhere between 75 to 80 percent driving and 20 to 25 percent towing. Did a trip this week of 600 miles with about 6400lbs in the bed and trailer. It still runs good but did notice the summer heat seemed to be harder on her this year than before. Once it cooled off to fall temps she seems as good as new. This has been one of the most heat sensitive vehicles I've ever owned. It loves cool air.

Awesome!My 2000v10 has 49,000mi. on it and I intend on keeping it for a few hundred thousand more! I used a lot of info from this forum when shopping for truck and initially was set on a diesel.Seeing your post with the mileage that you have definitely eased a lot of the concerns I had regarding fuelly v. diesel longevity.Thanks for posting and good luck with the new ride.

Did the transmission ever give you any problems? I have 115,xxx on my '08 and change the tranny fluid every 50k plus I added an external spin-on filter that I change every 25k.

Ha! That's crazy. If I had that many miles on my truck I'd be driving just a rolling chassis with no body left on it!! Proper maintenance and most anything should last..... Good luck with the new truck I'm sure it wont disappoint!
