My truck has 140,500 miles on it. It was worked hard for the first 135k. I retired it to a daily driver now. It also pulls very well in the stock truck classes at truck & tractor pulls. I love my truck and don't have any complaints. Nick

My truck has 140,300 miles on it. I love it. It averages 16-18 mpg in the city and 22-24 mpg on the highway. It has been worked hard for the first 130,000 miles but I have retired it to my everyday driver now. I pull it in the stock truck class at truck and tractor pulls. It runs better now than when I first bought it. Nick
