300,000 miles on a 89 2.9 Ranger when I sold it 5 yrs ago. As far as I know, the guy still drives it every day. I almost cried when I sold it. Got it new and it never left me stranded. 160,000 on a 2000 F150 I just got for my 16 yr old. 130,000 on my wifes 2000 GT Mustang. Both of these still purr like a kitty.

It still looks new from 20 feet away! (Love the True Blue color).
BTW: What does an out of balance driveshaft sound like? I've been balancing tires like crazy to get rid of a "woomwoomwoom" sound. I only hear it under power and going down a smooth road.

190k on my dad's '01 screw. Only problems thus far: a coil pack and the idle control solenoid. Unfortunately, I don't think the truck has much life left in it. Either the torque converter or another coil pack is going out. It shudders under low accel, and just today started to feel like its missing intermittantly at idle. Eh, how many vehicles do you know of that will go close to 200k miles without any major mechanical issues. $3000 in maintenance over its lifespan so far (minus oil changes) isnt bad.

I have a 95 F-150 4x4 5.0 Auto with 285,000 on it. Only things changed on it are the oil pressure sender, Mass Air Flow Sensor, Radiator, U Joints, Lower Ball Joints, Timing gears/chain, and Rear Main Seal. Still sounds like a new engine. Great truck.
