| #12 136k on my 2010, 4.6L V8. Castrol GTX 10w40 'High Milege' and new Fram at 3,500, or when headed North on a trip. Doesn't use or leak a drop of oil. Had the trans flushed at 110k. Still change my own oil and filter. Some of you fellas remember when a vehicle with 65,000 to 75,000 miles was ready for trade-in or the junkyard. Hard to believe what these new engines will do (when properly cared for). |

| #10 ~ 240K miles Another 10,000 miles and you could have made it to the Moon! I'm so old I can remember when reaching 100K miles was an epic feat. Of course, there was more oxygen in the air back then so cars rusted out faster. Nowadays, we have replaced the oxygen with CO2 so cars last a lot longer. |

| #8 My GMC Sierra is in the shop at the moment waiting on AC repair. (Can't complain too much - it's over 300,000 miles on a 2007 model.) |

| #5 B - first long (600+ miles ) trip in my 2020 F-150 Crew Cab 4X Lariat (with carpet-lined snug top shell). Loving it. Prolly the last vehicle I'll own ;-) |

| #3 Yeah, but you're stopping every 90 minutes or so to relive passenger bladders B. |

#1  You supervise maintenance program. Nearly always departs on time. You select fellow travelers. Ample seating with plenty of leg room. Lots of storage space for weapons and ammo. No upcharge for baggage. Plenty of fresh air if needed. Bring a sack lunch or stop anywhere en route. Deviation to itinerary not a problem. Wife, grandkids, and dog travel free. |
