    The factory transmission on that last one went out after 412,000 miles? That's impressive. No matter how reliable your vehicle is, I'd say you're on borrowed time for major issues cropping up after 300k. Everything wears out eventually. So for that truck to make it past 400k before needing a new transmission... That's really something.

But the new GMC & Dodge with the Cummins Diesel, are really worth looking at. My 2000 F-250 ( V-10) has 64600 miles on it. Just like the guy said with the black one they will STEAL your vehicle.

    I love my Silverado. I have an 02 Ext Cab Long Bed Z71 4x4. It has 348k on the original motor, trans and rear end. I just put an oil pump while I was doing the rear main seal. It was a $1700 job. The truck is purring like a kitten and probably good till 500k. My mechanic was expecting to have to clean out the oil pan because he said the last one he did it was caked with gunk. He said mine was spotless. It's a Florida truck, so no rust except for one little spot on the driver side rocker panel. It's about 1x3 inches. The frame barely even has any surface rust. Paint is good and interior is good as well.

    Canadian fan here ✋I have a 1995 Chevrolet Suburban Starcraft Edition that I bought off the original owner almost 3 years ago. Had 289K kms (or 179K miles) at the time. Now has 408K kms (253K miles) and has been rock solid reliable. The old 350 TBI engine and 4L60E transmission are still running strong, and both are original to the truck and have never been rebuilt or replaced. Oil pressure is mint and doesn’t burn any oil. I’ve personally driven 120,000 kms on that truck and has never not started or left me stranded. I used to be an owner operator courier driver in southwest MB so that’s how I racked up most of the miles. While the newer delivery vans would break down or not start, my 28 year old truck never missed a day of work. That truck is practically my best friend and we’ve been everywhere together and I still don’t hesitate to hop in and put on another casual 2K round trip out west without trouble. 500,000 kms is my goal but we still got a ways to go. I also own a 98 Chevy K1500, 89 K1500, and 95 two door Tahoe. All very dependable trucks, I can’t even imagine life without them. LIKE A ROCK they are!!💪🪨

    The worst thing a person can do is let other people drive your truck , sometimes it is unavoidable when it’s a work truck on a farm. I have 3 Chevy trucks I like all three of them . A 1999 2500 Excab 6.0 gas 4x4 214,000 miles; 2001 2500HD Duramax lb7 Excab 4x4 98,000 miles ; 2004 3500 8.1 gas crewcab 4x4 264,000 miles. 5/5/23

    I had a same gen 2003 Tahoe as the 2nd vehicle and it was awesome. 210000 miles and never had to change front brake pads. Things I did over the years was water pump, AC (clutch only), knock sensors, oil pressure sensor, and the seat heaters died. But the engine was and still is awesome. Daughter took it for her family. The seats were not great. oh yeah, cluster was replaced.

    I love this generation!!!! I had a 2001 Silverado and a 2004 Sierra. The Sierra saved my child and wife 3 years back when they were rear ended. The truck’s frame was bent beyond repair. I miss that truck. Only problems I had was normal wear and tear items. Between them, I had about 250,000 miles.

    For reliability I suggest talking to independent mechanics that work on all brands. They can tell you what they work on most and they see how things are made and the quality of materials the trucks or cars are made of. Actual owners can be so bias on a certain brand they own.

      Not only that, is the driver's care. I dont care how many studies there are out there of synthetic oil longevity. I will always change the oil in my car's engine every 3-5000 miles or 6 months. Nothing more, nothing less, and any engine will last a lifetime. The key is to keep up with all the maintenance of the car. Some people will think its overdoing it, but you will laugh at them in your old junker that still runs great while those people are crying their eyeballs out because their 3 year car left them stranded on the highway.
      There is also some care you can take to prevent rust. Every now and then, rinse the underside of the car to prevent the salt do its thing, and try as much as you can, to get a garage to park your car and not leave it under the sun, rain and snow.

      When I was younger the dealership I work for had a 454 in a Suburban believe it or not. I think it might have been a 92 maybe. It was only rear-wheel drive it wasn't four-wheel drive. But it pulled a race trailer that was pretty much at the weight that the Suburban was built to handle and that's pretty much the only thing that ever did was pull that race trailer and the team members. The owner ended up selling it to a farmer when it had a ridiculous amount of mileage on it. I remember him putting it out for sale and thinking Who the hell's going to buy a truck with 400,000 plus miles on it that worked like a beaten mule its whole life. A farmer scarfed it up in a week and the damn things probably still going.

    I think the thing with chevy trucks or trucks in general is if you drive a lot and give regular maintenance before the bodys and frames start to rust the truck will last a long. Except FORD.
