I'm gonna be in the market for a truck this year, to replace my 88 F150. I'm looking for a 3/4-1 ton extended or crew cab, early to mid 90's. Nothing special, just need it for occasional use (I only put about 2500-3000 miles on my truck in a year) and pulling heavy loads and heavy implements.
I'm seeing a few with 225-250,000 miles on the gas engines. I'm wondering how long they'll run, or if they're near the end of their useful life. If I could get a manual w/ 4x4, that'd be about right. Automatic is ok too, as the wife would probably drive it once in a while. She's done stick, but not well.
How long do the gassers run? Deisel is an option, but it costs so much more and I drive so little with my truck. The price would have to be right.
