The problem is, trucks in the purest sense are supposed to be designed for businesses (like the one Hoovie described owned before he bought it) to do truck-type stuff. When a company like that oil parts supply company buys a truck like this, they're buying a tool for their business that they're relying on for it to do work, work correctly, do what it's designed to do, and do it reliably. Until the last 20 years, most American-made trucks did that. They did that because the companies understood, that's what people buy trucks for. Today, they have lost their way. Forget that you can get a truck for $100k with heated/massaging seats and quad-zone climate control, even the "base trucks" have overcomplicated engine designs for emissions and fuel economy. Back then, truck were exempt from meeting the automobile regulations. So they built them to be reliable. You can't have reliable and computer controlled - you pick, one or the other.

@@chuckstephan Don't sell it, save it and give it to someone who will truly appreciate it, not just turn around and sell it.

[@67FORDTRUCKF250]

If people want to buy it... and actively pursue you...... say thanks but no. That means something good and they are sniffing for a deal. Happens every time I drive my 7.3 Excursion and only drive it a few miles a year.... we tend to get used to what we have and forget about what we have until someone points it....if that makes any sense

In 2002 i bought a new 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually with the 5.9L Cummins . I kept it for 4 years i put 290000 km on it changed the oil , Tranny Fluid , Diffs and Transfer case fluid on a regular basis . I replaced 2 automatic transmissions , did the complete front end 3 times . the brakes 3 times , all U-Jonts every 80000 km The lift pump once and had continuous issues with fuel injectors even though i changed fuel filter every oil change. The engine mechanicals , transfer case and diffs wer the only parts i had no issues with , Not a good truck imho. and i have had 5 Ram pickups , The only reason i liked it is the power and it was a good tax write off lol

[@muskokamike127]

10:50 "no they're not good for the environment" yeah, they actually are. A vehicle that can be driven for 20+ years is far more efficient than one that lasts 10. People don't realize that half the pollution a vehicle produces is done during manufacture. It's even longer with EVs (I think it is like 60% or 70%)....more pollution is produced during manufacture but less during operation. Don't let the fanboys fool you: EVs are NOT "good for the environment".

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

The reason why Marine fishermen used Cummins engines in their boats is the same reason why that trucks got a million miles they're just awesome

[@Slevin-Kelevra]

Thank you for dispelling the myth manufacturers care about million mile vehicals in most cases. I have had three that I million miled, as I drive a lot. The dealers I bought them from were excited and bought them back for advertising. But the manufacturers couldn't care less.

[@RiggyRonnie]

Cummins trucks should have some kind of celebration built into the dash so when you spin over 1 million you’ll feel rewarded, would be a nice touch from dodge

[@martincassels7995]

They’re really good for the environment! If everybody kept vehicles for this long, we’d still have v8’s

[@nielgregory108]

The reason we don't have V8's is because V6's are just as or even more powerful than a V8 when you consider the weight reduction aspect.

[@martincassels7995]

[@americansmark]

My Detroit DD13-powered Freightliner has 1,921,860 miles and it's only an 07. Let that average sink in. It's worn out. I had 3 plastic panels fall off the interior just today. But it still runs like new.

[@Oonagh72]

Those work vehicles make the world go ‘round. To be real. If you have everything sorted on that truck and it can haul like you need it too, 17k isn’t that bad of an investment. You couldn’t get a comparable truck for 17k most likely.

[@richsweeney1115]

You can get another used diesel with a lot less miles for 17k....

[@richsmith9063]

Trucks are a hot commodity. I'd think you could easily get $15,000 for it. Looks to be in great condition....especially for its age / mileage.

No way. Not with a million miles. Its not worth it......

That was an awesome video! The CarMax appraisal was hilarious!!! Keep doing what your doing!!!

They have to give you an offer, however they have rules on year and mileage that sends cars like that straight to auction, so they give you a super low quote since they wont sell it to a customer.

That truck's very efficient That truck's very good for the environment. A million miles, instead of five trucks only bought one. All those miles to keep the oil wells going. That way it's self supporting.

[@tottytowersrallying]

The environmentalists should care and love this. The more miles you do and the older the vehicle gets and you continue to maintain it well, the better it is for the environment - certainly way better than the standard 'junk it after 10 years and 50,000 miles' stuff you normally see

Only a car guy like Hoovie can speak about getting serviced at "my tow truck driver's mechanic". I have never been on a first name basis with a tow truck operator. That's why we tune in... So entertaining!

[@tylerp9620]

Have the same truck and love it! Basic and works. Sure it isn't as luxurious as the new ones, but towing capacity, sunroof, seat heaters, and a platform that you can easily modify with out confusing the computer? I'll take it over the new ones. Did I mention 22MPG? Yeah new ones don't do that either.

Thanks Hoovie, I needed a laugh today, here’s to the next million

At the current price for diesel this truck has had over $400,000 in just fuel put into it. Quite mind-blowing

[@candyassyes5838]

It’s crazy that, That truck has burned $425,000 of diesel to todays prices

[@JuggsMX]

As a camax associate I'm surprised you got offered that much. I was thinking the offer was 50-100 bucks. That's just not a vehicle we deal with. It would go straight to wholesale where people care about sales, not milestones

[@the_talking_muffin]

Even though the corporate poops don't care I'm sure the people that have worked for them putting that truck together care. Congrats to the workers!

[@Stupid_duty_obs]

Carmax only sells cars that are 10 years old or newer and have lower than 127k miles on their front lot. Those cars that qualify get reconditioned for sale, the ones that don’t go to auction. Based on milage and year your offer was low, although the condition was immaculate. Love your content 💯

I had a 2000 Golf TDI that was absolutely beat to death. I bought it for $750 with 225k........Loved that little diesel but everything attached to the engine fell apart by 450k. I sold the engine and trans to a jeep guy who is still using the engine in his wrangler to this day.

10:57 diesels actually are cleaner burning than gasoline engines. The smoke looks bad, but it’s literally just soot. Compared to the emissions from a gasoline engine the are cleaner, they last considerably longer, and most small diesel engines especially in cars easily get 40 - 50 mpg.

[@spacdaddydoug6582]

Tyler appreciate all the work to get this to 1,000,000 miles!

[@jd9119]

I think a truck that goes a million miles would be a great thing for Ram. Even if they're pushing the EV crap vehicles now, the idea that the truck the customer is buying right now being the last truck they're ever going to have to buy (unless they want to get a new one later) is very appealing

[@CarCrazy12804]

Great video! Congrats on making it to 1 million miles!!! What happened to your 2 classic porsches?

[@agcacustoms2852]

If I remember correctly they're being rebuilt and restored since they've appreciated so much that its best to have a stock one with upgrades than a modded one.

Right, but HOW MANY miles did TYLER actually put on the clock? I ASSUME that Hoovie didn't log the ENTIRE MILLION Miles! lol

That truck is in amazing condition for the mileage. It's a shame about the bed rust, though it's not too bad if the frame is solid. I'd keep her around. Cool conversation piece and while probably not worth a lot of cash, it's a pretty good and nice truck now. Sounds great too!

[@MrBillsfishin]

Pretty cool barrier to hit that many miles on the original engine. Rough to see the Blazer and maybe that Miata in the sales line knowing it is probably one of the best low mileage ones around.

Congrats! BTW, if you're seriously looking to sell it, I know a guy that might be looking for a new shop truck to replace his rusty Silverado SS. That is still one heck-of-a-nice truck for one with that kind of mileage on it. It still looks like brand new.
