I have a 97 xl 4.2L scab work truck. It has 94,400 miles on it and runs as good as new. Starts first crank, uses no fluids. (not even antifreeze, knocking on a whole tree) It is a plain jane but I love the truck. have done nothing but change fluids and tires. other than small dent on drivers side of the bed it still looks good too. this is my 3rd ford truck. I had a 98 xl that was a work truck that my boss bought from me for the company, it has 122,000 on it and they still use it every day. My first ford was a 1977 f100 lariat. it was my grandfathers truck, he bought it new and i bought it in high school. It was fun to drive 460 4bl c6 auto. the only thing we ever replaced was the shocks, tires, brakes, and fluids. was running strong at 275,000 when my cousin borrowed it and rearended a dump truck with it. needless to say it was totalled and i was pissed.
