According to Prosource Diesel, anything over 350,000-miles is considered high mileage for a used diesel pickup with a Cummins or Duramax engine under its hood. Anything over 350,000-miles is also regarded as high mileage for a Powerstroke diesel engine.

By virtue, diesel engines are generally known for their remarkable longevity comparative to a typical gas engine. As a result, a high mileage diesel can retain significantly more value and pickups with several hundred thousand miles can be purchased as reliable means of transportation.
