So many things are self inflicted - many problems are avoidable.
Maybe we shouldn't have to watch these things so closely, but we do. Folks that know this up front can get a good reliable truck for reasonable dollars. This is proven. I can post links to almost ALL of the major forums where people talk about 300-400k miles as being achievable.
