I think they are...they look like American Force rims. I think the truck is a 450, but I can't quite make out the front fender flare enough. Perhaps its a 350 running 22.5" rims. Also, if speedometer correction was not done, this truck will actually have *more* miles on it then the odometer claims...

At 60 mph and covering almost 400 mi per day you can't do it in 6 hr per day. The problem you run in to is overhead: Fuel stops, food stops, traffic, Pizz stops etc. And how that paint job still looks that good is beyond amazing. Not sure how he does it, must live in the truck.

Here's a link to a 2011 Duramax that at least was for sale with 1,000,071 miles on it. I don't know when it was put in service, but the video was made in January 2017. So figure it was put in service Jan 2011. Exactly 6 years. That means 166,678 miles per year. That means 457 miles driven *every day* each year. In this case, the guy was hauling RV's and trailers from the manufacturers to the sales dealers. He was sleeping in the back of the truck. The truck actually looked decent still, but they wanted way too much...

Edited: I thought it was an F450 because it appears that the front fender is sticking out all farther than the F350 (easiest to see down by the rocker panel), and the 10 lug nuts.

Yes, its an 350. He was at my place 3 weeks ago picking a car for me. At that point he said that he hadn't had any issues with the truck.

I see. How does he have 10 lugs on a F350 front axle? Is there a 10-stud adapter plate that bolts to the 8 bolt hubs?

He's still 130K short of my gasser......

I do drive a lot but that's still pretty crazy impressive in such a short period of time

What year is yours? The whole point is the mileage in the short amount of time. 400K, on a 20 year old truck, is not all the impressive.
