it is also worth saying most 1 ton pickups are so expensive to replace spending 5000 dollars to fix it and keep it going is a viable option whereas when the average automobile gets to the point you need to spend 5 grand to fix it, you'll probably toss it and get another. At least that is my take on it..
Freind of mine has an auto towing company... he uses 1 ton dually's, usually Rams w Cummins... his truck tows a 45 foot enclosed gooseneck trailer with 2 cars in it most of the time. he average around 100,000 miles a year... when these trucks get up around 600k on them he starts looking for a new one. I know he still has his first Ram, its from the 2000's, it is past 800,000 miles , it still runs but it is mostly a spare to use around his farm. The truck is since retired, think it is close to 600k now, he has a 2021 Ram now. Mean to ask him how many miles are on it.
View attachment 154400 this is the odometer from his 2014 Ram 3500 when he hit a milestone.
