You all are giving me the warm fuzzies since I just bought the TV in my signature. Just over 64,000 miles and is as quiet as new. Looks like new in and out.

The 'Burb in my signature has 134K on it. I bought it in 2004 to tow the TT in my signature and to haul my daughter and her track teammates to meets.

We towed our TT this weekend about 60 miles--ran just fine.

Just turned over 100K today on the truck in my sig. Unfortunately it turned on the way to WORK and not on the way to camping. We did camp last weekend and will again over July 4th.

B.I.L has around 175k on his 96 chevy 1500. Fuel pump and reg maintinance is all it has gotten. He never tows and is all highway miles FWIW.

Original 350 gasser, 4-speed tranny and clutch. With about 20% of those miles towing a 11,000lb gooseneck.

My last TV had 105K before we traded it in for some more room and power. At 25K in 3 more years we should be at 100+K.
Cannot understand why a gasser today cannot go well over 200K. My 03 4cycl has 107K
Have a friend who has 70K on his truck and he is afraid to leave the island.

We retired our 1979 F-260 from towing with 250,000 miles on it when 3 years ago we purchased our 1972 F-250 that only had 32k miles on it.

The '72 should turn 100k in the year 2028.

TT: 1969 19' Excel; entertains 6, feeds 4, sleeps 2
