2015 Silverado. Changed them once and they still looked new. What is recommended these days?

Check your owners manual or ask dealership.
Not uncommon for 50,000-100,000 miles today.

Agree
They recommend 100k. I changed mine for the 1st time at 300k and they looked like new when I pulled them out. Platinum and iridium plugs plugs basically last forever unless they get oil contaminated or flooded really badly by a faulty injector. Yup, just did first change on wife's car, north of 160k. If I hadn't already bought new ones, I'd have stuck them back in, lol.

Many levels of spark plug grades spend a little extra for quality ones they are often a pain to change.

… every time it starts missing Right as usual. The last ranger I had started missing at a little over 300,000. Changed plugs ran like a charm.

They started making spark plug wires with soybeans now to save the planet, I bet the mice, rats and squirrels are loving it.

Just pull a Plug and leave it hooked up and hold the end. Then have your wife start it up. You will know if it needs changing!!!
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I think my F150 said not to use platinum? I agree with Nessmuck, my truck had 172,000 on it when I got it, 4 years old. Worst looking was the rear differential fluid, but did all of what he recommended at the time I got it, plus shocks and brakes all around.
