just got rid of my 2000 xlt v6 std. it had 218476 with no major problems up till now. Mech. said it had a dead lifter could have gotton it fixed but I got tired of shifting knees arent what they use to be. SO i bought another f150 which makes my 6th overall ford all went over 150000 before I got a new one.
My 2004 F-150 has 156,000 miles on it (aprox 240,000km) and still running good although i just changed both VCT Phasers do to the truck sounding like a diesel. other then that this is a great truck that i am very pleased with.
My 1997 F150 4X4 will turn 156,000. Uses a little oil but all in all it has been the BEST pickup I've owned!!! Always starts, runs smooth, healthy drivetrain but my body is getting rough. This first part, outside of regular maintenance, I threw into this was a month ago : altenator and brake calipers.
I just got a 97 F-150 S-cab XLT 4X4 with 4.6 to replace my "behemoth".
The 97 has 78K on it now, so I'll be in the club with that one in a couple of years.....
The old girl is a 91 F-250 S-cab XLT Lariat 4X4 with a 7.5L.
The 91 had 113,000 when I bought it in 99. The previous owner gave me all his maintenance records, and he never had any engine repairs other than routine maintenance. I've only done 2 waterpumps, 2 alternators, and a couple of sensors on the engine.
The trans was rebuilt before I got is and it gave up on me at about 160K while I was in Florida towing my camper. I was able to limp it home to PA with the camper and had it rebuilt. now close to 90K on the rebuild going strong...
The current mileage is 253,000.
Only uses a quart between oil changes once in a while.
The rest of the truck is pretty much a battered rusted P.O.S. now but it still runs great and has never stuck me anywhere.
If gas wasn't $3 and more a gallon, and I could do body work, I'd probably fix the old girl up and keep her....
I'd really like to find her a good home...
I really like the new girl, but a 4.6 ain't no 7.5!
But it's really nice to only have to gas up once a week in stead of twice and get away for less than $100....

9 MPG was worth the look of shock on the parts guy's face when he would ask "Engine Size", and you'd say...7.5!
Ive got a 1990 f150 and im at over 213,000 miles and it still runs great. No problems at all.
