Thoughts for high mileage truck.

Thought I would try to get some feed back on some trucks that hold up with 85k to 100k. I would like to have a crew cab 1/2 ton. This will not be a main vehicle but need something dependable. Anyone have any thoughts on about a 2003 Ford or 1500 HD with this kind of mileage? I have not ruled out just a ext cab Z71, if I can find a bargain. Those Fords have a pretty high resale for the mileage.

I have a 97 F150 that has 158,000 miles on it. It is my daily driver. A mechanic told me that vehicles today will hold up with high mileage as long as you keep the oil changed and everything serviced.

99 Z71 extra cab. 160,000 miles. one bad brake caliper. one bad anti-lock brake pump. other than that no problems at all whatsoever. helluva truck. would not doubt getting 250,000 out of this one. i am religious on changing the oil every 3000, and i keep everything else serviced also. I am a firm believer that you can pay for it now, or pay more for it later.

1991 nissan pickup 230,000 original engine & transmission. ( I admit it has been retired to "misc duties only.")
I've seen older nissan and toyota trucks go for 300,000.

2002 F150 Supercrew... 146,000 miles with no problems other than a replacing the ball joints. It has held up well, considering I don't buy a truck just to look good, I'm pretty hard on my vehicles.
