well im getting a truck soon and how many is to many miles on a truck? good deals on trucks that have around 130,000 miles on it so is 130 too high for milage before you have to start dumping money into them?

no not really. ive seen a many of trucks go to 200,000 with no problems. the biggest factorl is how its been drove and taken care of.

A GM 350 will last 200,000 miles, I had one that had 185,000 and ran like it was new.

If it has been taken care of 130k is no big deal with most trucks. I have a 98 dodge dakota with 145k and it still runs great and looks decent. I have had to do some minor work like brake lines, calipers, rotors etc... but nothing too major. Just stay away from ones that are already modded for offroad or have a plow.

130K is not bad if it's in highway miles, and the previous owner was not a lead-foot. I say look it over real good, and beware of new tires on the front.

It all boils down to who owned it and how they drove it. My first truck was a ford ranger 4cylinder with 135K on it, ran like a charm.

One thing with buying a vehicle with that many miles, you have to go into it expecting to put money into it though.
