2000 Ford Ranger - 139K miles. Replaced ball joints at 90K, replaced tailgate latch at 60K, replaced oil pressure sensor at 120K, replaced thermostat at 60K. Otherwise, only scheduled maintenance (brakes, tires, trans flush, coolant flush, oil changes, etc).

2008 Ford Edge - 37K miles. Only issue was likely dealer related. We had the dealer install heated seats (it came with non-heated leather). About 6 months after that, the back panel of the front passenger seat popped off, I noticed that one of the fitttings looked deformed like it wasn't put on right after being taken off. The dealer replaced it with no problems. Otherwise it has been flawless.

Already posted my current Ford above, but figured I'd post my former Fords.

 

1981 Ford F150 XLT Rcab SB 4.9L 4x4 - Had 300K+ miles when sold in 1994. Only major items replaced were the clutch and driveshaft. Otherwise just your typical alternator, plugs and such items. Was a hand me down from my father when I started driving.

 

1985 Ford Ranger XLT Rcab LB 2.8L 4x4 - Had 170K+ miles prior to being totalled in 1996. Only major replacements were the ignition and distributor cap during the time I owned it. Purchased in 1994 with roughly 100K miles.

 

1999 Ford Ranger XLT Scab SB (Flareside) 4x4 - Purchased brand new in 1/99 and sold in 4/02 with roughly 50K miles. No problems during ownership, except adjustment of the driver door strike plate.

 

1999 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0L AWD - Had roughly 75K miles on it at trade-in. This truck was a POS and there were way too many items replaced to even begin mentioning. Most costly was the Rack & Pinion Steering at roughly $900 installed by my local dealer.

 

2002 Ford F150 Lariat FX4 Scab 5.4L SB (Flareside) 4x4 - Had 55K miles on it (no problems either) prior to an accident in 8/06 which caused $16.5K of damage. Frame, both fenders, passenger door and everything from the radiator forward was replaced (and painted) when the truck only booked for $17K. Got back in 10/06, was back in shop 5 times in 11/06 due to rebuild issues. So cut my loses and traded for the following Ford (current).

 

2006 Ford F150 XLT Screw 5.4L SB (5.5') 4x4 - Purchased new on 12/2/06 with 23 miles (including test drive of 10 miles) and now at just over 27K miles. Truck has had a few minor warranty issues (peeling emblem, window switch, speaker, message center bulb, TSB for tranny), but nothing major.

My Ranger still doesn't burn or leak any oil. I change it on a 5000 mile interval and I always use the same brand of oil, I keep records of oil level. I changed it yesterday (139.9K) and the oil still looked pretty good after 5K miles were on it. Since it isn't burning oil and the oil isn't getting excessively dirty or worn, my engine should still be in pretty good shape inside.

[Captainp4]

My 03 6.0 stupidduty is around 147k trouble free miles

My bronco is a conglomeration of many broncos and parts, but the new 460 only has a few hundred miles on it, if that :D

Mustangs are a restoration in progress, but the shell had well over 100k on it, and the parts mustang had rolled over 2-3 times.

 

As far as dad's trucks/business trucks go..

 

99 7.3 is nearing 100k

00 7.3 is right around 150k

'01 v10 is ~~60-70k iirc

'02 v10 is less than 50k

 

I know that doesn't match the sig exactly, but I haven't updated it in a while.

[Nick986]

silver 2000 Ford Taurus SEL w/Duratec 24V--135,000 miles.

[mustang let back]

1986 ford TEMPO.it had 235K miles when the clutch went out.it was a 2.3 5 speed!!trying to repair it,the shaft broke inside the trans,so i bought a 1999 ford escort zx2 with 135K.it runs fine. :happy feet:

[efy]

Dad- 2001 F-250 Powerstroke XL- 210,000

Sister- 2001 F-150 XLT- 230,000

Mom- 1999 Escort SE- 240,000 (Odometer quit working for about 20K miles, 220K on the odometer)

Me- 1999 Ranger XLT- 198,000 (totalled in November 2008)

We've never had an unreliable Ford.

[Stus1171]

1994 Mustang V6 - 202,000 miles, on it's second engine, original engine block cracked after the head gaskets went. Trans, rear, and all other major components are original.

 

2004 Ford Freestar - 72,000 miles. Nothing much to say about it. Haven't had any problems (knock on wood).

[goinbroke2]

Hard to say, I bought it with 342,000km's on the odometer but on the window it said TMU. (true milage unknown) It hit 400,000km's then one day I looked and it was at 346,000 or so. WTF? Maybe it was my imagination? Time goes by and I hit 400,000km's and I said "AHA! Now I know for sure it's at 400,000".

Well, over the christmas break I was driving to New Brunswick and...hey look, it's at 389,000?!?!

 

So, I'm guessing between 500,00 and 600,000km's (it's at 391,000km's after this Christmas drive fest)

 

Oh the 2006 freestar is 93,000km's. Replaced the coilpack about two months ago, cracked and caused #2 cyl to misfire.

 

Mustang has had 72,000km's showing on it since I turned it into a full time racecar in '94.

[Bubba Ogre]

Me - 2006 Mustang GT 45K

Wife - 2009 Explorer V6 5K

Mom - 2006 Fusion V6 87K

Dad - 2001 E150 V6 120K

2005 F150 (4.6 V8) 72K

Bro-in-Law - 1991 Ford Ranger 3.0 had over 240K miles whe Dad gave it to him 2 years ago. It still runs, but I don't know current mileage.

[SVT_MAN]

2006 Ford Fusion SEL

Duratec 3L V6, 6 spd Auto

~ 34,000 miles

 

 

1999 Ford Mustang GT

Mod 4.6L SOHC V8, 5 spd Manual

~91,000 miles

[WingBender]

1996 Contour SE (2.5 Duratec, 5 speed): 131k miles. On its 4th water pump. Have also replaced alternator, starter, catalyst and a front wheel bearing. Engine seems basically sound, running Mobil 1. Original clutch.

 

1993 Probe GT, sold at 167k miles, right after replacing the original clutch. It went through a number of rear brake calipers, which would tend to lock when setting the parking brake. Replaced the distributor and thermostat along the way.

My ex-girlfriend's car did exactly that when I was dating her. I can remember her sitting there doing a burnout with the stupid rear wheels locked up. It was pretty funny looking back on it now.

 

I talked to her a few weeks ago - car has over 200,000 on it now. Great car minus that stupid issue.

My ex-girlfriend's car did exactly that when I knew her. We eventually got the rear brakes unstuck.

It always happened on the right side for some reason. The sticking caliper was due to a design flaw, but they never fixed the design, so the replacement calipers had the same problem. I had to drive it like that a couple of times, stopping every mile or so to let the one brake cool. The disc would glow red hot!

 

The Mazda V6 on the GT was a great engine. Its only issues: it was prone to leaky valve cover gaskets, so you'd get a whiff of burnt oil smell, and the valve guides would leak oil into the combustion chambers when it was parked, so you'd get some blue smoke out the tail pipe for a mile or so on a cold start.

Tonite, my 1993 F150 turned 182,000 miles. Solid 302 5 speed drivetrain, but lots of other parts replaced.

A brand new Superduty is sitting in the driveway with 100 miles on it. The '93 will be sold in the spring.

 

Our all time record was a 1988 T Bird, 3.8 V6 AOD which went to 205,000 before it was sold. Amazingly, the car required virtually no repairs over all of the years. What a great car it was.

[Roadrunner]

Man you guys put on a whole lot more miles than I do.

 

The 2006 Fusion I-4 has 39,000 miles on it.

 

Better get roadtripping! Ah oh wait... have to be at the office Monday through Friday with little room for vacation. Ack.

My dad had a 1993 T-Bird with the 3.8L and I think it was the AOD. Anyways, he put 212,000 on it before he got rid of it in 2000, it was still extremely dependable the day he traded it in. In fact, not long before he got rid of it I put 350 miles on it in a two day stretch. The only issues that car ever had were with the seat belt hangers that moved when the door was opened/closed. Otherwise, it was an extremely reliable car.

You should see my dad's 2005 Ranger - I think he might have 6-7k miles on it.
