Why can't any modern domestic "american" trucks

Why can't any modern domestic "american" trucks achieve 1 million miles with it's original gasoline engine? Why is it that Toyota is able to do this but not the big three? Let's not forget that both the Tundra and the Tacoma destroys the big three in reliability.

>inb4 framerust and floor-mat recall

Is the Tundra and Tacoma, dare I say, the KING OF TRUCKS?

>Are they good?
can say for the 2000-2006 models, aside from the frame rust recall, i've been hearing nothing but good thing about these rigs. pretty rock solid.

I on the other hand had a 2008 model, double cab, put over 300,000 miles on her (bought her at about 80,000 miles). She was strong, gave here the proper maintenance she needed.

Recently traded her in for a new Tacoma since I didn't need a large truck anymore. But she did well and hopefully will continue to do well.

Because those "people" are mostly likley brotruckers who transforms these trucks into obnoxious mall crawlers and will trade it in for a new one once it reaches 100k miles, sorta like what this Anon said. >>17164968

Those other people are probably people who neglect their engine and not giving it the proper maintenance it needs.

yes, harder life by being lifted and being a pavement princess, that's one "hard life" lmao. even when a toyota is lifted, they still manage to whoop the big three in reliability.

i have yet to see a modern pickup that's no older than 10 years surpass 1 million miles with it's original gas engine.

Moving 2500lbs to the grocery store and moving a 7000lb truck are two very different things. The fleet truck also has 90k engine hours because it idles so much. There's a reason why few companies use Japanese trucks for fleet or delivery usage.

>Million mile domestic trucks are so common that most people don't make a big stink about it like a Toyota.

That is if it's a diesel. I still have yet to see a modern domestic pickup with a million miles with it's original engine. again, if that is possible.

>most people don't make a big stink about it like a Toyota.

I beg to differ, hell people who reached just about 200k miles like to show that off and brag about it like it's the biggest best milestone ever when it's absolutely fucking nothing.

>Or they're smart and don't use a gasjob truck for high mileage usage.

Yeah "smart". Guess that they're those kinds of people who trade in a vehicle and need a new one after it reaches 100k miles. Guess it's that "I need a new vehicle" mentality when they bought their previous one not that long ago. You know, the ones who buy trucks and don't use them for work related jobs and use them a DD pavement queens. once that counter hits 100k miles they need a new one when the one they drive seems to be perfectly fine. Most people who use their trucks for work on the other hand could give less of a shit how high the counter is because what matters to them is the truck's maintenance. When it reaches 1 mil on the other hand, that's something ground breaking, even with it's original engine.
>>17166271

One was a pest control truck.
One was beat to shit, but kept hustling, towing a trailer along with it too.

Does anyone really care if their truck can reach that kind of high mileage? Majority of people who buy pickups don't really strive to break a big milestone such as that. Don't get me wrong the Tundra reaching a million miles with the same exact engine from the factory is very impressive I'll admit, but not a lot of people are going to keep their truck when the mileage is in the high hundred thousands, some will, some won't. Most like myself won't to be honest.


Hell people have been doing that since the 70s. back then once the mileage meter touches 100-200k+ miles, new truck. Not speaking for all but a good majority.

While the 5.4 Triton cold probably go to 1 mil if you were meticulous about maintenance, why?

I'd rather have a nip truck because they actually think about details before production that the big three would end up fixing through recalls.

The reality is gasoline engines are cheap to replace/rebuild, so manufacturers have little incentive to bother making them last past 250,000 miles, just extra cost for the manufacturer. Additionally, 90% of the gas trucks sold won't even make it to 250,000 miles because most just simply don't drive that much.

American diesels, on the other hand, are built to make it to 1,000,000+ miles if treated properly. Do all the maintenance and do it on time with top quality shit, don't bag it when it hasn't reached operating temp, and don't run any excessive tunes and they'll go forever. I've seen countless Duramax (mainly LBZ/LMM), 12vs, 24vs, 7.3Ls and even a few 6.0L go for 700k+ miles no problem. There'd be a lot more too, but again, most people don't drive nearly enough to mile up a pickup to the million mile mark.

The million-mile Tundra was actually a work truck. The guy was said to run deliveries for oil companies often with a trailer hooked up to it.

People don't normally average 100k miles per year for a decade on anything that isn't a work vehicle.
