My last two cars both had over 270,000 miles, and I'm on track to do the same to my 2014 Raptor.
I was curious about what problems most are seeing when getting up in mileage. One post mentioned rebuilding the shocks. Any other problems or required maintenance issues?

I'm want to plan ahead, like saving for a new set of tires, etc., or watching for good sales on upgraded shocks.

Sky, knock on wood, other than putting new rubber on the truck every 50,000 miles, replacing the stock shocks with 'slightly used' stock shocks at 75,000 miles (this time around I plan to use the guys on the form who are rebuilding shocks), replacing the brakes at 140,000 miles, the only problem I have had was a bad relay that kept the truck from starting.

Thanks, that's really good to hear. I'm over 38,000 on my 2014, and so far everything has been great. (I also have the extended warranty). From your description, I will start saving up for new tires, and researching other brands. I have been happy with the OEM tires, but there seems to be talk of better alternatives. This gives me a good idea of how to balance mods and maintenance...Thanks
