COULD be possible, but I seriously doubt it

We had a 86 F250/6.9 and it was a formans truck and plowed. Sold it 3 years ago with 480,000km's and it's still running around pulling a horse trailer locally.I head gasket, original pump and injectors. 2-bodies

I worked at VW dealer years ago and a courier ran daily from Ottawa-Toronto return 450 miles. Bank document run. His Rabbit ran over the 1 million miles with no tear downs. He fueled at our place a couple of times a week. VW Canada did a write-up on him. He did the recommended maintenance -timing belts,valve adjustments,oil and lots of rear wheel wheel bearings.

I believe it. I have a customer with a 85 Golf diesel that does a daily 80 mile commute. She has a shy half million miles on her's. It just got it's first head gasket job. Still starts cold with no smoke and runs like new. Amazing engines with the proper maintainance. And yes lots of rear wheel bearing replacements. LOL.

My wifes uncles 97 PSD has well over 300K miles on it. The actual mileage is unknown as it's had the speedo replaced due to it quit working. He brought the truck brand new and drives at least 50K miles a year. Original auto tranny with the torque convertor replaced once, some front end work (4x4) and recenlty a CPS, it's first! He's looking to trade for a 99+ long bed x cab.

I've got a picture of a speedo shot on a 99+ with 906K miles on it. There is a hotshot on some GM sites who runs D-maxes and PSD's he's gotton over 500K miles on both.

My 99 F250 has 174K and the 00 Excursion has 126K, exactly 300K together!

I worked at a two way radio shop in the late 80's and one of our customers had several tow trucks that were 600K plus miles. It's definitely possible, just not common.
