I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the useful life (in miles) is for an F-150. We plan to use it for local deliveries.

 

In my opinion and experience, any vehicle that you buy that is about a 1990 or newer will give you close to if not more than 200,000 miles if it is maintained. I had a 1990 Mazda 626 that was at 193,000 when I retired it, I had a 1994 S-10 Blazer that was at 223,000 when it finally died, and I currently have a 1990 F-150 that just two days ago flipped 164,000 miles. All of these vehicles were my daily drivers, so I put about 15,000 miles a year on them. Don't get me wrong, you may have some repairs along the way, but for the most part newer vehicles last a long time. And I think the newer a vehicle is, the better the chances of them lasting longer just because the manufacturing processes of vehicles keeps getting better.

At least that's my take...
