Prospective Buyer
Found a 2018 3.0 Latiat at a dealership, financials make sense based on all the information I have on the truck, looking to pull the trigger this week to buy. Looking for a truck I can can rely on for a long time. Just wanted to hear from you guys if anyone has had any reliability/durability issues? Also anybody have one over 150k miles and still going strong?

I doubt you’ll find one with 150k on the ticker, being a newer mill. I’m at 25k on mine, and all it does is make me smile. I wish I had better payload, but when I bought it, I had no real need for payload, and didn’t see the need for the lifetime I would own this truck. That changed with Covid.
This basic mill has been running in Europe for about 7+ years. It’s pretty bulletproof. The EGR was the biggest issue, and it was addressed immediately. While I think this mill will go 150k easy if maintained properly, I plan to move on before 100k just because of my change in needs.

What is your payload anyway? My 19 Screw 4x4 3.5EB with max tow has a 1821 payload.

I may go back to a Super Duty, but it depends on payloads with F150’s when I’m looking again, plus my trailer plans. My current payload on my loaded Lariat 3.0L is 1,350, but I have every option plus the smoker.
