Who is in the 100,000 mile club?
Well I gotta say I have 138,500 on my 2010 F150 Lariat and running stong. This has been the best truck I have ever owned. I literally just put rear rotors on. I drive a lot of highway miles but I believe that making a vehicle last is maintenance.....regular oil changes. I also swear by 93 octane as I have run it since it was new and never have had any powertrain issues and it perrs at 600 rms and still has plenty of power. Plus living in western NY and the winters and salt it is key to keep it washed and slat off it.

2013. 126,000 miles. Replaced a heater hose at 78,000. Hankook tires at 79,000. Brakes at 120,000. Lots of freeway for this 3.5 EB. San Diego to Long Beach is at 29 MPG several times. Vista to LaHabra shows 28.5. The oil gets changed when the dash tells me to with Mobil 1 5/30 full syn.
Gave it to my son for a shop truck and bought a 2015 with the 2.7 EB. It's faster off the line. I've had it three weeks and it now has 3,000 miles on it. 29.1 to LaHabra last week. 24.2 overall average. Amazing vehicle.

I joined the club at purchase, I guess.
2002 XLT SuperCab 4.2L 2WD. 122K and change.
Bought it from a friend who moved to Florida. She rented a UHaul for the move and decided to leave the truck here. She bought it in '04 with 60K on it.
I knew I was going to have to replace the bumper and grill due to a texting while driving incident on a parking lot on her part. (How do you hit a parked semi?)
Later found out that she had no respect for Michigan potholes. Bought new tires and they couldn't do an alignment. Had to replace the entire front suspension and steering linkage.
Swapped out the plugs/wires, a leaky EGR, and the front calipers.
Need to replace the trans cooling lines sometime this week, and track down why the high beams aren't working.
One dollar sized rut spot on the rear fender that I fixed and a few more little ones that will be addressed next summer.
I paid her $1K for it and have a little over another $1K into it incl tires.
Seems to be a nice truck. Perfect for a second vehicle.
Funny thing is, I've been driving Jeeps for the last 15 years. I laugh at myself each time I get out and inspect my parking jobs. A little different than the Cherokees.
Now on to dealing with people asking me to help them move.....
