Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

For those longing for the "good old days" here's a Ford ad, bragging that their HD gas engines would make it to 100,000 miles. If you have an engine rebuilt/replace/heck, engine repair at 250k, you'd be mad.

Their 100,000 mile warranty (or 24 months/3000 hours), covers actually engine mechanics, but the fine print says the labor is covered for the first 50k, and after that, the labor is probably rated.

I was looking at a clean 2009 F250 4wd last weekend that wouldn’t break the bank. It was at a dealer which used to have an outstanding reputation, although that may have changed.
270k miles on it. I decided to pass.
