439k truck.
I've been a lurker of these forums for a few years now. I like to shop for these trucks while bored. I came across a 438.9k truck today and felt the need to make an account to share it. This truck has seen a bit better days, but this is a true statement to built ford tough.

If this truck was in a bit better shape, I'd ****** it up. It's a find just as much as that truck with 506k a few years back.

I'm surprised they took that in on trade. I'm not sure why anyone would buy that truck...its in pretty rough shape with the dents, miles, and CEL...
Good to see that it ran okay for that length of time.

If it was a trade in the dealer probably got it for next to nothing after all the numbers were finagled.

It was most likely owned by some sort of short haul or service company which usually means the drivers usually flog the crap out of it it's entire life.
We got pickups in our neck of the woods with 25% of the miles that are in MUCH worse shape! Don't even get me started on how poorly the aluminum body F150 holds up to construction site work!

Is there any thing different they do to get that many miles out of those trucks?

Friend of mine has a Duramax and had to have the turbo replaced at about 95k. He basically uses it as a daily driver with minimal towing. The guys at the shop said they see more problems from the diesels from lack of hard use as opposed to constantly being pushed to the limits.

I wouldn't think they do anything special other than a lot of highway miles.

Ironically, they probably run the pi$$ out if them without much babying.

I usually put on 30k a year on average..snowplowing,hauling a 4k truck camper in the bed across the USA,hauling a Vnose 101 wide trailer up and down the East coast.. hauling furniture in and out of Boston and Cape Cod.

To me that's a myth....I don't push my truck. I work it at times but don't "run the **** out of " like so many do. And over the many years and trucks I've owned I never had many of the problems with my trucks like so many do here since I've been a member of this fourm dating back to 2002. Same goes for the many motorized things I have owned. Boats,snowmachines,etc.
