    Exactly.....it is very very easy for a truck to go a mile down the highway....thats why its not as big a deal as people make it.

    Also alot of this miles BS is carried over from the 70's and 80's when cars and trucks just were not built as good as they are these days. Back then if something made it to 100k you were doing good....NOW days if you make it to 500k your doing good....:birgits_tiredcoffee

    yea i know that...but who is caught between a 7k truck and a 40k truck? i guess i dont understand...if you can afford a raptor then why are you even looking at a truck with over 200k miles? calling bs that your looking at a raptor too....i place foot in mouth if you show up on site with a raptor but doubtfull...

    cause i dont wanna break in a new truck cause the way i drive it will eff up lol i like em but i rather get one used and they are hard to find here from what ive seen and i like the way 05's look if i had the money for a big down payment i would get the raptor if i could find one but i want a superduty too and i dont wanna say this but i might get a dodge if it has a cummins :slap::banghead::thumbdownpunch: but id rather have a ford
