250,000 miles a year, wonder what motor it has? I'd be interested in seeing what has been replaced. http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/oct/22/truck-hitting-1-million-miles-prompting-party-st/ Looks like the current motor has over 700,000 miles on it.

Well, it's got a gas engine. But the million miles in 4 years don't add up. The line about the speedometer being busted says a lot.

144k miles on a set of tires is pretty impressive.

Could be 5 years, its a 2006 so might have been placed in service in 2005.

What a BS story, How could be possible to drive 7 to 10K per week?? This is 1200 miles a day, with 65MPH average this is almost 19 hours, every day

Good luck with that thought. Many of them didn't even make it off warranty, and helped put Ford into the red with their $1billion in warranty and buy back costs.
400K out of a gas engine is not too bad. I agree with others, driving that much solo is questionable. Perhaps he split the driving with a passenger. |

Whats a 5.4L gas F250 with dual air conditioners do on fuel, 15mpg?
1,020,000 miles / 15 mpg x $2.75 a gallon. Is $187,000 in fuel. $40,000+ a year in fuel. What is a greyhound worth... jesus.

The article said he did up to 10k a week. That is about 1500 a day or 63 miles an hour for 24 hrs. I think someone misplaced the decimal point.
