How many miles on your tow vehicle?

[Jluzader]

Just hit 25,000 on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.

267,000 on 2005 F250 6.0. Just got a 2013 F250 6.7 with 18,000 miles. Yet to tow with it.

95,000 on my 2006 Tundra. I have a few rust spots to fix but other than that it runs good.

 

[Freezer41]

coming up on 238,000

 

[jaburt]

250,000 on my 2002 Ford F-250 diesel. Still runs like new.

We bought a new Toyota Sequoia to pull with also but it wants nothing to do with the 242x at freeway speeds.
I guess once you pull with a diesel a gas burner just won't do.

On my 05' Expedition I had 99K just before I traded it in for my 15' Expedition. . . . and she ran strong.

However, I had a transmission replaced at around 85K (twice, first one didn't take)

While I don't think it was my towing/driving habits that did her in, I got her with 38K and have no idea how it was used prior to then.

So far, I have 10K (ish) on my 15' Expedition with the 3.5L EcoBoost Twin Turbo and we absolutely LOVE this truck.

Also, I tow almost as frequently with my 14' Jeep GC Overland with the 8-sod transmission which has just under 19K.

55,000 on my 2012 F-250 6.7L Diesel, plan on keeping it a very long time!

After the Ford 6.0 issues, the 6.4 issues and the gas 5.7 issues ford scares me.. and i grew up in a ford only family!!. I know people here with tons of moles and no problems but ford has three engine they don't use anymore due to issues... although the 6.7 seems to be holding ip well and they always have the completely bullet prof 4.6 and the old work horse the 5.0 to fall back on... u can't hardly kill those two with dynamite.... well ok Mayne with dynamite but still!

The new 6.7 seems to be doing quite well, I have had zero issues with mine. Ford designed this diesel engine vs. International/Navistar on the 6.0L and 6.4L:

The international harvester designed and built 7.3 wad their best diesel... the tech just became old.

I agree, great engine, my Son has one in his Ford, still running strong.

93k on our 2010 F250. Other than cab mounts crumbling, it's the best truck I've ever owned.

55,000 on my 2012 F-250 6.7L Diesel, plan on keeping it a very long time!

I guess I should eat my words, 700 miles on my new Duramax Lol.

Just broke 100,000 miles this past weekend while towing boat to the launch ramp. 2006 Tundra

 

[mraz72]

lots' of ford people, NICE

I have a 2003 expedition that I love, as someone else said, great for towing the boat and hauling lots of people. I have 112k miles, hoping to hit 200k before I get a different vehicle.

With that being said, I see a few of you with diesels. I've never owned one, they seem to last longer and have great torque, the question is, why WOULDN'T you have a diesel? Maybe my next tow vehicle will be a diesel.

The simple answer @Michael Rasmussen is that they cost more. More money initially, more money to maintain, more money to fill with fuel... But for towing, they can't be beat!

 

[Hannibal]

I've owned six diesels. They were great but very expensive when little things go wrong. A drop of water can do over $10k in damage to the fuel system on a newer diesel. We now tow our 33' travel trailer with our 5.4L F250. Very happy with it east of the Rockies.

I will never own anything but a diesel again for towing, hands down it's worth every penny!

Just turned 12.5K on my 15' Expedition and 22K on my 14' JGC Overland. . . .

 

[DCB-270]

Now at 262 k on the Cummins. Runs better than new thanks to EFI Live.
