Oh, you'll get to see the dogs too.
One (suprising) stat that I read recently is that the Ford F-150 truck accounts for 4% of all vehicle sales worldwide.
When I was in my early 20's, I worked at the Ford plant in Freemont, California making Ford F-150's...that job lasted five weeks till the union guys ran me off for working to hard. (no kidding)
My Dodge is at a little over 141,00 so far!
My 1976 Toyota Corolla has 237,000 miles on it when I got rid of it.
Mrs. Bears started having babies, and a two-door coupe just wouldn’t work anymore.
Most modern vehicles go more than 200,000 miles.
Yep...I have over 200000 miles on my ranger and I treat it like a brute.
I have driven 4 2500HD Silverado’s 250,000 plus without a single repair other than brakes and tires..., working on 2 more right now, one has 70k the other is new.
My first car was a 1991 Dodge Shadow. It had over 262K before I finally got rid of it. My current car is a 2002 Hyundai Elantra. It currently has 210K and I am going for 300K before I buy my next car.
Bottom line: you take care of your car with regular maintenance and it will take care of you.
I own a Silverado 2500HD.
Apart from rear brake lines that mysteriously rusted away (I’ve NEVER had rusty brake lines on a vehicle before- ever) it is showing every sign that it will last well over 200,000 miles.
99 Grand Prix 175,000 miles and climbing.
My roaring XJ6 is kind of like a Camry or an Accord that way except that it has taken me to 200,000 miles in ear-to-ear-grinning beauty, comfort, and power.
Not mine--but very similar

Mrs. Racer and I own a fleet repair facility in North Dakota, and I would say that the information in the article is supported by what I see here. Most units in our shop are Ford F250-F550, and they just seem to keep going. As for personal experience...Our 2000 Ford Excursion with the 6.8L V10 gas motor will turn 250,000 miles before the next oil change and is still running strong!
I just sold this one... New owner is still driving it. You got some catching up to do ;)

I replaced it with a spring chicken.. It’s still a GM.. I wanted a ford/toyota but this one presented it’s self for a few hundred bucks and was drivable (put 500 in to repairs)

Both vans have more than paid for themselves.
My 1995 Toyota Camry has just over 271,000 miles on it. I got it at 238,000 and my mechanic said I could put another 100,000 on it. Awesome vehicle!
in 1991 I bought my first new car; an Acura Integra (ordinary model)...19 years and 290K miles later Kars for Kids came to my house and took it away...
No Mercedes, Volvo, Fiat, Saab, Peugot, Mini, BMW or VW on that list...
My 2005 Toyota Camry has about 150,000 on it and shows no signs of quitting just yet.
My boyfriend has three 2000-2002 Chevy Cavaliers, two of which he’s already taken well past 200K.
I believe one is approaching 250K.
