My 2000 Lariat has 226,000 miles on it. At 190,000 miles I replaced my engine with a brand new one, and replaced my transmission with a rebuilt one. The $8000 I spent on the new motor and rebuilt transmission is a whole lot cheaper than $40,000 for a new King Ranch. My truck in very good shape for its age and mileage. I see no reason to go buy a new one just yet.
Wow this thread must have at least 100,000 miles in computer time!
My 97 F-150 4X4 4.6 Supercab has 114,000 miles and not only runs strong but looks great for 11 1/2 years on the road. I just took it into a Ford dealer's body shop to get a small amount of rust repaired under the doors. The manager said that he's seen 03 and 04's with more rust in that area than mine. The way I look at it I might as well keep it for another 5 years. I'm lucky if I put 12,000 miles a year on it.
This is my second F150 and the second time in the 100K+ club. I drove my 97 4.6 to 230K or 260K, I can't remember which one. I then sold it to a customer who is still driving it today.
I bought an 04 at the end of 04 and have put 126K on it so far and still going strong. Not using any oil, no trans problems, just keeps going.
I will, however, be putting a new window regulator in over the weekend. Only complaint I really have with the 04 is the steering wheel shake.
My 2000 5.4L, super cab, short box turned 100,000 last week. I bought it in 05 with 50,000 miles on it. Oil changes every 3,000 miles. I put the first set of tires at 100,180 miles,and it looks, starts,runs, and pulls like a new truck. Just wish it got better than 13 mpg.
Turned over 100K on Thanksgiving. Definately happy with her and keeping it. I was looking for my first new truck for almost 2 years before I bought it in Oct 97 with only 718 miles. Was love at first sight and still love how it looks, runs, drives and sounds today.

I just checked my mileage last fillup & got 13 with my 4.6
I drive 10 miles each way to work so not too bad for combined driving. It has a best of 17 highway.
Just turned 170,000 miles last night coming back from SA, this truck runs excellent with only minimal maintanence. Plus I run usually 400-600 miles per week currently.
