was working on a truck yesterday that had 706xxx kms on it... thats alot lol..



Highest you guys have seen?

Some of our Fuel trucks have 1 million plus on the clock.........Kenworth cab overs.

3 to be exact and all done in 3 years.....working 24/7........local deliveries plus country work.

I was pretty amazed at 700k... I am more used to cars, that was the first truck ive ever worked on lol.

my old man knew a bloke who had always owned subarus , one of which was a really ancient sports wagon with over 1 million on the clock , owned two near 500k ae82's myself and seen some in the 600 zone lots out there , i always get blind and on the lift home ask the taxi driver how many , haha , one night the guy said oh , 850k and still does a skid and ripped a huge dorri dorri , that was preety impressive i thought

I saw a Corolla on carsales the other day with 2,8XX,XXX [2.8 million] kms on it.

Gav.

its horrible!... and i would think 2.8m k's would be a typo

Yeah well, typo or not, I still call a win for me for finding it.

Taxis run better on higher ks than just about any other car, because they are running for _very_ long periods of time. Most engine wear occurs just after a cold start, and taxis are on the road often 24/7 (in the case of shared units) or at least 8-10 solid hours a day, every day.

Mates Hilux had done over a million, had no second gear or brakes (needed to stop it with the handbrake). Only was used for a bush basher, used to rip awesome skids around his farm.

agreed !! had a taxi come in the other week at work for running rough.. 2007/8 ve caprice v6 i believe.. had way over 200k on the clock, burnt vavle, we ended up putting a new motor in it anyways cause it had other problems aswell, but like in 2 years they did that many km's, imagine 10 years.. they really run the cars into the ground!

its true what they say about taxi's have driven to the moon just under 400,000km

My mate owns a ex cabby, the speedo was clocked it said 999999... Its a ford falcon n its still kicking.

i had a chat with a driver once and we were in a Falcon and he was saying that they only liked driving the falcons as the commodores lasted half the time of anything else , no idea what sorta truth comes to that but i was stoked when he said the avalons around my area were the best , they wouldn't die...

Taxi's have upgraded/added oil coolers, which must help a lot.

my mate is a diesel machanic and hes has told me 3 mill km's on the clock comes in every now and then. they average an engine rebuild every 1 million km's

Taxi's FTW, all the canberra ones say the Falcons last way longer than the Commodores as well. Seen some with 2m +++

was a typo. the poster changed it.
