I’ve got a 96 Silverado with 270k
2001 f150 with the same
Had a bunch of 90s S10 Blazers that had 250k
Pretty standard for domestic light trucks and some cars to make it to about the same.
Remember the cars from the 70s? 100k maximum.
Oh yes. I do remember. That’s why I bought a Datsun510 when I got out of the Navy in ‘71. American cars had 6K/6mo warranties. Few new American cars went 6 months without needing to see a mechanic.

I have a 2004 silverado Z71. I will say that the drive train is still strong (which is key) but other than that, I tell people it’s like living in the 60’s. I spend a fair amount of time in the auto parts store getting parts to replace all the stuff constantly breaking. Everything from back door latch, door handles, heater temperature controller, heater vent controller, interior buttons. I even had to replace the entire brake line system at a cost of over $1,000 because it rusted out. I’ve owned 28 cars in my life and never had to do that. Not even with the beaters I drove in the 70’s when I was young and broke.
