Our family business is construction and our company motto is that our pick up trucks are just going to be driven into the ground and they don't make us money they only cost us money. Its our heavy equipment that makes the money. Having said that I'm looking for a 1/2ton pickup thats extended or crew cab, 4x4 and a good platform to run 250-300k miles. We're a ford family but we have quite a few 5.4 3v's and we all know what kind of issues they can have. This has me leaning towards a 2011+ coyote truck or an ecoboost truck, are those good reliable drivetrains capable of running a ton of miles?
If not what about the GM's, I'd assume a pushrod LS will go a ton of miles as well, but I don't have any experience with them.
I'm not really a dodge fan so wasn't really considering them.
I'm hoping to find a sub 100k mile truck, 4x4, extended/crew cab for 20k or under. I would prefer to find leather because the only real occupant or push for a leather and crew cab is I have a 4 year old daughter and we all know how kids can make messes.
Anyone have any thoughts?
