2008 F150 at 100,000 miles

[Royse]

I delivered a tractor tire to my sister's house last night, they're going to use it as playground equipment.
On the way home my little pickup rolled over 100,000 trouble free miles.
Quite a few of those miles were hauling tractors. Mostly smaller ones.
A JD A and a Farmall M would be the biggest ones I've hauled with it.
I sure hope this post doesn't jinx me!

Good for you!! Although, one should expect 300,000
now-a-days.
Trucks and cars are WAY more dependable than they used to be.
The companies that haul us around don't even blink at a half of a million miles.
good luck

My 1996 F-250 with 7.3 has over 350,000 ande still runs and drives as good as new. I definitely believe Ford builds the best pickups (since IH left the market years ago).

My 1997 F150 has 280,000 miles with a 4.6 and never caused a minutes worth of trouble.

You must have a v8 cause the 4.2 would never make it that long.

My 97 4.6 202,000 still pulling great.

Had a '88 F150 with the V8 that had over 400,000 miles on it. It had been hit by a semi early in life and repaired, been in a second accident and 'totaled' and repaired by me, and made it until the third accident when a guy crossed the center line and hit it hard enough to cave in the front end and buckle the floor pans under my feet before being retired. In the 400,000 plus miles all it ever had done to it, beyond routine maintenance, was to replace the exhaust cross over pipe running across the back side of the engine. Beyond that it used no oil, got great gas mileage, and was the best truck I;ve ever had. Now I've got an '87 with a straight 6 and I'm hoping I can get the same life out of it.

Given the life of the other one, I know this one's starting out right because it's already been hit by two deer, before I got it, so I repaired the front end and drivers side fender and door first thing. Then it caught the top of a tree across the cab, and I got that fixed. So, it's had it's tewo major accidents and now it's ready to roll on to a long life....LOL

i believe it should last you well over another 100,000 if you take care of it, at least thats what they say, i dont have anything new other than the wifes car which is pushing a hundred thousand as she never turns it off it appears lol i stick to what i can fix but everything i have has well over 100 grand on them and all are going strong 2 chevys and a dodge with 250,000 on it

I heard American products were no good? Too bad your American truck will only last 200,000 or 300,000 miles.

LOL I've got a 98 Chevy Suburban with 270,000 on the clock. It's our farm vehicle and hauls bagged feed and pulls trailers and wagons. I had to replace the tranny at 258,000, about that on the fuel pump, around 230,000 the alternator and the starter just last month.

You're doin' good! We've got a 2000 F-150 Super Crew at the farm with the 5.4 liter...and that old girl has got 275,000 on it. The only money that's ever been put into it was coil packs at 240,000. Keep truckin' dude!
