Dang....very impressive. Hope you make it to the million mile mark. That is like god level in the automotive world. In all my years in the automobile trade I've only seen that twice. One was a older Dodge van that had the engine changed 5 times and the transmission 4 times.

1994 GMC K1500 4wd. 4.3 6 cylinder with a 5 speed. Manual windows, NO AC. 147K on it. rusting some (wheel wells and cab corners) but the frame seems solid. Only thing I wish is it was an automatic and an extended cab. I don't need to impress anyone or for it to be fancy.

2000 Toyota 4-runner, 215k miles. Been driving it for about 2 years now. Replaced brakes and a radiator. I think the total of both repairs was less than $500.

1994 Nissan hardbody. Odo stopped working at 315k. Sold it to a guy 250 miles away. I've seen it twice since then in my town, 10 years after I sold it. Identified by the hsu sticker still on the tailgate.

I have a 2016 f250 gasser with 110k. Definitely not a beater, just a few interactions with a tractor bucket and a trailer that came off without a hitch. 6.2 is a boss. 7.3 gasser may be in its future.

Same original engine with only a rear main seal replaced and valve cover gaskets. That 3.4 v-6 is dang near bullet proof if you keep the oil changed regularly. Won't make the million miles. Racked up those miles while beaver trapping for timber companies driving around 35,000 miles a year. It had 110,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2004. It was my beaver trapping truck from 2004 - 2022. Retired from that a couple of years ago.

My work car is a 97 Saturn with 265,000 miles, has a 5 speed
transmission that won't go into first gear so you take off in 2nd,
most times you have it in reverse when you start the engine then as you
are backing up and your ready to shift into 2nd you shut the
engine off to shift too 2nd or you have to grind it into gear,
it gets good gas mileage so I'm going to keep driving it.
