I've never been a huge fan of them- until I actually looked at one, and now I love them. They have every feature I could want and they are cheap. Reviews seem good.

I'm looking at a few however, and having trouble gauging a few components-

How much mileage is high mileage? On an F150, 100k isnt a big deal. On most SUVs however, 100k is reaching the max. I want a good durable truck to haul distances, and while any car can have issues, I am having a hard time judging these on durability even after many hours of research.

Secondly, is the 2500 more durable than the 1500? or less? Sure it can haul more, but what about mileage life on the 8.1 liter + 4L85E Tranny? Once again, buy a 2500 truck and 150k isn't a big deal- is 90-100k high on these?

I've found 2500s in the 85-110k range that I really like, but if thats pushing the limits of their lives, a new 8.1L is really expensive, so I may be better off with a 1500.

I normally haul around 6000 lbs (Corvette/Camaro on a trailer)


Anyone have any advice/thoughts on these as far as durability is concerned? I plan on putting about 7-10k miles a year on it. and would like to keep it about 2 years. (15-20k total miles)

Thanks!
