I would say thats a no go. modded trucks were modded for a reason, to go fast or to go through more crap than the other guys truck. 177,000 miles is way too much In my opinion. just keep searching and you will find a better one that you will be happy with. dont settle for something you arent 100% on.

so im still debating on this truck, has 188,000 miles. 2 different owners and is in great shape, just alot of miles on the truck. with a trade it would be less than 5,000 and can afford this at this time.
would it just be dumb to sill purchase? I need the room, supercrew, and if it can last 2-3 years id be happy.

Someone mentioned knowing the history and care background of the vehicle being an important factor. Assuming since you said trade-in, you're shopping at a dealer. You cannot get that if buying from a dealer. That guy's a salesman...he's going to tell you whatever you need to hear. Plus, people pawn stuff off on dealerships all the time to get rid of their junk before it fails. Would I buy a truck with that many miles from an owner?? Very possible if it was super clean. Most likely wouldn't even give the sales guy a second glance at that truck sitting on a lot.

i personally would stay away from a modded truck with those kind of miles i mean look at what some people on here do with their trucks with armored bumpers and big wheels and tires.....not saying that every modded truck is a POS or abused just seems people mod trucks to acomplish that mud pit they couldnt get though stock. just look for signs of abuse....overly chipped up wheel wells and rockers banged up under carriage and so forth.

There are guys who do lots of mods fix up there trucks to no end and never abuse them. Drive back and forth to work and thats about it. Do a carfax. If there are no maajor deals on it and it looks like the truck spends allot of its life sheltered in a garage consider it. If the truck spend its life out in the weather and all thats a major minus..

Why not expand your search to suv's or differentbrand trucks or just wait for lower miles, We got our expedition for 3500 with 150,000 and it wasnt a good decision, we should have held out because every small thing goes out. its annoying. also cars get cheaper at different times of the year. when we bought ours it was one of 2 expeditions available and the only one with 4x4 and a 5.4, 4 months later a 99+expy was for sale for 3000 and it was in much better condition too!

That's not alot of miles by today's standards. Anyone that thinks so is living under a rock somewhere. Cars and trucks last alot longer than that (with good maintenance) and I wouldnt hesitate to trade one second. Thats a great deal. Some of the best trucks I've ever drove had way over 200,000 on them.
