Just passing on some observations on durability. My company uses these trucks, mostly con figured as double cab, short bed, diesel 4x4. All spend a lot of time with 20 foot trailers behind them, typically at about 7k, some at 10k. Depends on the user. As we hit 150 160k I have seen 2 egr cooler failures, 1 high pressure fuel pump. Some of the trucks have made it to 150k on the original brakes. A couple def tank failures, and that's about it. Fleet is 22 trucks, 7 are over 145k. We change all fluids and filters every 50k. Oil changed every 10k.
Granted were not working these trucks too hard, but we tried it with gas 3/4 and 1/2 ton trucks, the results were expensive. For what we are using them for its been a fantastic combo. Just food for thought.
