    When you get to bigger trucks that can haul more, you get into bigger engines and bad gas mileage. I don't know how you are going to get around that. It just takes more power to move a heavier truck.

    I also think most of the newer trucks are being built better and better. If you do some basic maintenance I would expect any truck to last 200k. Change the oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, like you are suppose to and you would be surprised how long vehicles last.
