How many miles is too many

I am looking at selling my 93 and getting a 2nd gen. Mine only has 149k on it. Some of the 2nd gens I have seen have over 200k on them.

Should I be worried or is an extra 60k or so nothing to worry about.

Thanks

Probably gonna depend on what the rest of the truck looks like. I was on EBAY and saw an 06 with 145,000 miles on it. If its all highway, should be OK, but just like any vehicle, one with 200K could be in better shape than one with 50K.

really depends on who took care of it! some people just are real hard on stuff .
if the truck looks real clean and has maintainece records it should be a good truck.
