That would be the most miles I've heard of on a Ram. I once rode in a 90's Ford F150 truck that had broke 500,000. It was original, but you could tell it was wore out.

Well the 02 ram has officially passed 400,000 miles just before Christmas 2016. Still a daily driver. If I ever need another truck it will definitely be a dodge. Hope it will be as good as this one.

My 02 has the 5.9l good truck. everyone is shocked it has made it that far. But regular oil changes, and routine maintenance and its still going. Hope to get another 100000. Loving my dodge
