I have a few beers bob, you want one?
Enough already guys Seriously. Don't turn this forum into the kind of place that would tolerate or encourage this back and forth mean-spirited banter.
I don't care who started it. But how about stepping up and stopping it?

^Agreed. Let'd all put our big boy pants on agree to disagree. I gave my .02 on the Titan, someone disagreed, and I gave him credit that he had a valid point. Opinions are like butt holes (everyone's got them and usually they stink), we all know that, but lets not make it worse.
so... I'm a little worried to bring this one back but..
How many miles is to many miles for newer trucks. Is it a waste of time to look at over 150K trucks?
I'd look elsewhere at anything over 300,000kms (185,000 miles). At that point, gas trucks start to get relatively worn out. We've had two GM's (a 96 1500 to 550,000kms, and a 2004 GMC to 400,000kms) and things do start to go downhill after that 300,000kms mark.

Must be a Canadian thing. 300k miles on a gasser down here doesn't seem to be much of a problem. Granted, the seats will have lost their padding, half the interior will no longer work and if its leather, well.... good luck there. But mechanically, you'll be good.
Expect to replace a water pump around 250k miles on the new LSx engines. Seen quite a few that all die around the same time.... must be their life expectancy. Transmissions are a crap shoot. Dad got 160k harsh miles (read: no preventitve maintenancefrom 34k to 160k) out of his 4L60.The boss is at 295k miles on his original in his '01 burb 4x4. Front bearings, sensors etc are about 100k mile interval. balljoints etc are just as likely to fail as anything else with lots of mileage.
If it had a good maintenance history, I wouldn't be scared of a newer truck over 150k miles. I've seen too many with double that to be worried.
