The F150 I grew up with only lasted to 130k miles. To make that feat, it needed an engine rebuild, transmission replacement, air conditioner repair, alignments, power steering repair, numerous other minor repairs. The dash had cracks from the sunlight. The paint faded without clear coat. The fuel gauge didn't work. The windshield leaked.

Our modem vehicles are virtually new by comparison with only oil changes and replacement of wear items. The leather seats have some wrinkles and the floor carpeting looks worn.
