how high a pickup mileage before you trade in?

The reality is its almost allways cheaper to keep and maintan / repair a rig , but the reality is when do you want a new rig . after 6+ years and 60 k your value drops . I bought a new truck in 2001/2003/2005/2007/ 2009 I figure this one is gonna be around for awhile she has almost 80 k with a steering angle sensor and balljoints , brake job . not bad considering what she gets put through.

with all the crap on the new trucks it would be cheaper to keep and maintain your truck

Got 300,000 on my Toyota truck v6 4x4 . Original engine tranny etc. Maintain well and they last forever.

in my opinion in sted of trading in a 150k mileage truck and getting low balled at the dealership, it would be better sell it and make more $

I tend to buy rigs after they break the 100k mark, let some other sucker get the huge loss of buying them new.  I have three trucks right now, all are reliable and run great, the low milage one just turned 150k, middle one has 245k, high miler has 356k

  As well as new trucks are made I think with reasonable manitenance and driving habits 200K is good for most all of them.

Besides KFhunter, nobody here has spent any big $$$ on new transmissions on your vehicles that have over 100,000 miles?

i was driving a 93 isuzu trooper with 205k and it ran alright, but i just couldnt trust it up in the mountains.  i need to drive back and forth across the state regularly so i bit the bullet and got a brand new yota couple years ago.  its worth the peace of mind that i can drive across the state and up into the mountains out of cell phone range and expect not to break down.  gave the trooper to a friend who needed a rig and its still running 2.5 years later.

I like to spread out mileage,  I have 12 vehicles 7 of them have over 100k miles.  They quit adding up miles very fast but staying up on maintenance gets to be a nightmare.

Wow, that's a fleet. How do you work out the insurance and you must love our States' 30.00 dollar tab fee's.

Insurance sucks at times but my agent is on speed dial,  I own them all so full coverage only on the higher value vehicles,  I put them on storage insurance which is like $6.00 a month,  a phone call to activate coverage when I drive them.
