I am original owner of a 1999 F-150 XLT 4 x 4. It just turned 362,250 miles, and is still running great with original engine and transmission. This truck has run a lot of highway miles, but it has also done many miles on NH dirt roads. It still has runs smoothly and with power. I am wondering what the mileage record is for this model and year of Ford truck.
Thanks,

This guy has over 400k... Highest I've seen...

1999 F150 400,000 miles - F150online Forums

362+k looks like you are well on your way....

 

That is inspiring! Give us more details... What have you done? Etc...

 

^^^^ and lets see some pics....

 

man... i feel like a piker on this post !

 

Thank you for the feedback all.
I will post a picture shortly along with picture of latest odometer reading.
What will really blow you away, and I am ashamed to admit it; is the fact that I typically change the oil only every 12 - 15 K miles. I have not babied this truck in any way, and it has been very good to me.
Thanks again,

Hey don't feel bad about the less than perfect maintenance on your rig. We all make mistakes. my 2000 f 150 4x4 ex cab just rolled over 402300. and my truck is rough, looks rough, and runs rough. Congrats on your own achievment and hope it keeps goin for many more!! Know a guy from around here that has a late 90's superduty diesel with over 700000 miles, but thats not even in the same catagory as a gas motor. best of luck

 

Thank you Sammo,
Congrats on going over the 400K mile mark on your F-150.
Mine still looks real good, just a little rust on bottom of doors. This is incredible considering how much salt it sees during the NE winters. I hope to join the 400K-Club by the end of 2012. Just got hit with a freak 20" October snow storm but we took to the road with confidence in 4 x 4 mode.

 

for you super high mileage guys, what MPG you guys getting?

 

How about them pictures.......

 

Pictures coming soon. I just figured out how to get them from my cell phone to the computer. I have pictures at exactly 300,000 and at 333,334. Missed 350K but will also take latest which was at 362,400 today.

 

P.S. in regards to USA question, I get 16.0 miles to the gallon, and happy to be getting that since I have never had engine or transmission work performed.

 

What oil have you been using? Motorcraft 5w30?

Also, have you done any axle lube swaps or tranny flushes?

Thanks. My 99 currently only has 149,000. I have the 4.6 and I'm hoping to get at least 300k+.

 

The 5.4 motor in my truck has been using full synthetic oil since about 50000 miles. Usually run 10 W30 most of the year. To my knowledge the transmission may have only been flushed twice in its entire life. At 402000 miles i have a slight shudder into and out of overdrive sometimes and the motor only uses about half a quart of oil every 1000 miles, so far so good. Keepin my fingers crossed.

 

Tell us that you have the original exhaust manifolds with no broken studs.....THAT would be a secret that you would need to tell us for sure on how you managed that!!
