How many miles is too many miles?

How many miles is too many miles?
I just got back into a Ranger after a two year absence and coming from a full size back to a Ranger made me realize I do need a Full Size. Long story short I fish a lot of tournaments and the last 4 trips towing the boat have made me miss the full size.
Anyway I've been looking at some 150's and I realize it all comes down to maintenance and how the truck was driven but in your opinion how many miles are enough to make you not even look at a truck? My dad said " I wouldn't buy any thing with over 100k" but I feel like a truck with 100k with up to date maintenance is just getting broke in and still has a lot of life left..
Input is appreciated. Thanks

A well maintained F150 will go over 500,000 miles. I have my '04 with nearly 300K miles listed on Ebay at Ford : F-150 XLT in Ford | eBay Motors (shameless plug) and it runs great.

I personally probably wouldn't buy a used gas vehicle with over 100k unless I knew for a fact what the history is on it...like if a family member or friend has had it since it was new. I'd consider buying something with over 100k if it was the right price, and it was a 2nd vehicle or a toy.
I'd buy a diesel with over 100k...but not over 150k.
Like others have said, it all depends on maintenence. Buying used vehicles is a gamble. My dads 07 Chevy has 280k miles on it...all put on by him. But he has always maintained it and it runs great.
