It is not unusual for an 18 wheeler engine to go 1,000,000 miles and to
be rebuilt a time or two after that.


That's at least as much to do with that a truck tractor is solid-enough
to last as well and that 90% of those 1M are OTR.

The consumer pickemup otoh, isn't intended for such longevity by
design--even if were, people simply get tired of personal vehicles for
other reasons first.

The last Duramax I had had almost 500K when traded; it's still in use as
I see it occasionally around town. I fully expect at least that with
this one as well...but the rest of the truck was getting frayed enough
and, like you, we decided wanted a better ride and the four doors, so
gave up two in place of one for it.

BIL has the Ford in a utility service vehicle that I know has almost
750K on it and is still in excellent shape; we took it to NM a couple
years ago...
