130 and 160k

Just turned over 130,000 on my 94 Eddie Bauer Bronco (of course full size), in perfect condition, no problems until yesterday (see engine forum, hopefully it's just a sensor); and 160,000 on a F350 Powerstroke Diesel Crew Cab 4x4 with every option, Ranchhand bumpers, manual 4x4 with Warn hubs, numerous performance mods to diesel including chip. 0-60 in 6.1 secs, and it weighs 6,800# empty. Burns rubber (and trannies) all day. Average 21mpg , but mileage is about 0 when it's sitting there smokin' the tires....

100,000 mile club

My 99 F-150 has about 133,000 on it. it has a few minor electrical problems but I am still trying to get those fixed. It still runs good like the day I bought it from the dealership. When I first bought the truck, about 3 months later, I was rear-ended by another vehicle which then sandwiched me between a flatbed truck and conversion van. The collision shop said the frame was bent a little but they straightened it out. It drives and feels like it wasn't involved in an accident at all. It ended up costing about $15,000, give or take a little. Good thing is that insurance paid for it. Other than that and the few minor electrical problems, I have had no major problems at all, knock on wood.

100,000 + mile trucks

It is good to see the 5.4L with this kind of mileage with no problems. I have 97 4X4 5.4L with 80,000 miles the truck had 56,000 when purchased. I just recently had problem, I guess it is a sensor somewhere causing transmission not shifting right and the speedometer not working, this only happens during heavy rain. I have a post on transmissons and electrical of this site. If anyone has had a similiar problem and solution I would appreciate any help.
In reference to the high mileage trucks I have a work truck 93 ranger XLT 2.3L has 206,000 miles with only routine maintenance.
Thanks Terry

I have 117,000 miles.
New tires, New cat, front & rear brakes, tune up at 100k. Nothing major - I love my F150.

My dad sold his first F150 with 250,000 miles on it and still running good (not perfect) about 10 years ago. His second now just past 200,000. He's my inspiration!

Cool

We are a Ford Family, and have been for 25 years. My Youngest Son's F150 is rolling over 196,000. It is a '97 Supercab with a 4.6 Triton engine. We just replaced the front suspension system, added some trick wheels and are replacing the u-joints today. We too, still use 5w-30 and change that oil every 3000. We are chasing a vibration, but we think the replacement of the rear u-joint will correct it.
My truck is an F250 Superduty, Crew cab with the 7.4 liter turbo-diesel. I rolled over 200,000 yesterday. Have replaced waterpump twice (factory covered) and got called back once for the installation of a cover over the fuel filter that runs along frame. Other than that, serviced transmission every 25,000 and staying right on schedule with service manual. Did change rear end fluid at 100,000 for kicks, since we are boaters and launch alot.

191,000 and ready to take a 4000 mile round trip from Texas to Nevada and back for the holidays. I think I will short block it around the 250k mark.

198,000 miles

Over 198,000 and going strong.

I know the alternator, U-joints and tierod ends were replaced before It became mine. But other than that just standard services and rubber every so often.
