[QUOTE="B E N, post: 1407073, member: 33355"] The basic truck is an f150, so there are literally millions to pull all the little wear items out of for the next 50 years. The engines are still in production in the super duty line so good blocks will be available long after we are all gone. Any body part that isn't shared with a regular F150 is a composite and will never rust away, except the front bumper and skid which aren't likely to rust through. I guess if something like ball joints were to cease production and the current stock ran out it could be a problem but I don't see that either. Shocks are rebuildable and upgrades available through the aftermarket. By the time parts are hard to come by this will be a classic and repops will be available. I see no reason to think this [B][I]could not[/I][/B] be someones only truck for the rest of their life. Do a full refresh once a decade and it will be golden. Two of my 4 vechicles have over 300k on them, engines and trans have been replaced, things have been gone through but thanks to some modern bits and pieces they both drive better than stock and I would have no issue taking them from Denver to Florida.... rather take the raptor though :) [/QUOTE]
