Now that's a stat that you don't want constantly displayed in front of you - half a million miles at 18mpg! The cost of fuel would buy you a Porsche 992...eta up to 800 lb-ft and around $24k/yr in diesel

Website wont load but judging from the .com link its in America. This sort of mileage isnt unheard of when they get used as hotshot trucks etc.
Think of them as mini HGV's able to tow 5th wheel trailers and larger light loads without any driver hour rules if I remember correct. They are even rated to tow empty semi trailers to move them around as needed. I have looked into getting one many times in the UK but its not very workable with our system of weights/towing capacitys as a way to tow 2 cars without a full on truck.
A ford F450 superduty can tow just shy of 17tons!
"In this case, a 2006 Ford F-250 blew past the million-mile mark in about four years. Phil Marsella, the Florida man who owned this model, drove his truck an average of 200,000 miles a year. The original engine died after 400,000 miles, but the one he salvaged from a junkyard ran another 800,000, allowing him to hit 1.2 million in just five years. At last check, it was still running, so Marsella may have reached 2 million."
"Hugh and Tammy Pennington, a couple who bought a Silverado 3500 HD to use after Hurricane Katrina, ran their truck to 1.22 million miles in six years. Their secrets were nothing revolutionary, however. The Penningtons simply changed the oil after every 5,000 miles and made sure to wash the truck after a long haul — especially when they drove through snow and heavily salted roads."

Looks good but that feels like strong money at £1,500. Is this how much 23 year old V70's with a 1/3 of a million miles go for?https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202010155...
