No, and heres why, its got 224,000 kms which seem like alot to me, and it still gets me where I need to go, and tows what I need to. I dont see how its any different from another ford truck? I buy ford for one reason, because I need a truck. not a fancy cadilliac.

I noticed that too. In addition to having the planet's toughest truck, he must have one of those rare odometers that remove miles instead of adding them. I'd liek one too, do they come in MPH or are they for KPH only? I'd also liek the same sprengs and berings he's got, with the same lifetime garantie. Mebbe they'll fit my 65 F100. I'll have to axe my mechcical if they will work.

Duh guys, don't you know that up in Canada if you drive in reverse your odometer actually takes miles off. Why my Epxy had 50, 000 miles on it when I bought it a few years ago and now I have 000,000 reading on my odometer.

I thought this was the norm for all makes? Or are our "beasts" just too good to be true?

Or you can be like my Dad's Jetta. It hit 300 000 kms and the odometer reset to ZERO! We don't know if it's just a faulty dash or it had been tampered with. It now currently says 198 450 kms.

224 000 kms isn't to much. Here's some vehicles my family has:
87 Nissan Pathfinder 764 000 kms Original everything
88 Mazda B2200 260 000 kms
90 Chevy full size van 250 000 kms Engine and tranny at 200 000 kms
91 F-250 7.3L diesel 295 000 kms
97 VW Jetta diesel 498 450 kms
