It’s not every day you see a million-miler vehicle, but that’s exactly what one proud Ford F-350 owner just celebrated.
In a recent Facebook post that quickly made waves among truck enthusiasts, the driver shared a photo of his F-350’s odometer, frozen at a jaw-dropping 999,999.9 miles.
This alone would be an amazing achievement.
But what really got people talking was what came next: a short, humble list of the only repairs the truck has ever needed.

The Ford truck is still running on its original transmission
According to the owner, his heavy-duty pickup has endured more road than most vehicles will ever dream of, all while demanding surprisingly little in return.
Over its million-mile lifetime, the truck has only required the replacement of one engine, both axles, the front springs, and the rear driveshaft.
That’s it.
What’s even more astonishing is the fact that it’s still running on its original transmission.
That revelation stunned commenters, many of whom expected a laundry list of parts replaced over the years.
While smaller cars have been known to hit some crazy mileages, like this 1993 Toyota Corolla that hit 2 million km, it’s a much bigger achievement for trucks.
After all, trucks endure more than their fair share of wear and tear, especially when you’re towing a large trailer.
Not the only million-miler F-350
But this million-miler F-350 seems to be built of tougher stuff.
While the post didn’t specify what kind of work the truck has been used for, it’s clear the F-350 has earned its reputation for durability.
Ford’s Super Duty line has long been praised for its ruggedness, but this real-world example is enough to make even the most skeptical mechanic nod in respect.
And the internet was definitely impressed.
Many pointed out the rarity of maxing out the odometer, while others praised the quality of Ford trucks.
Some were also curious whether the odometer would reset itself, or be stuck at the maximum number.
Well, if you really need to know, this Ford F-350 owner who drove his truck for 1.3 million miles has the answer for you.
