212,500 miles on my 97 F150 4.6 auto 4x4. Only normal wear and tear items. Parts so far are 1 starter, new front hub assembly. It's been pretty reliable since I got it with 170k on it. Only uses about 1qt of oil every 3k miles.

Cottage Grove really isn't all that small, about 35,000 people living here currently. The city is slowly growing. I've got a friend who lives in town of not even 1000 something like 600 i think here in MN.

1999 F150 4x4 5.4L V8 4-speed auto

180,500 miles and running great. Changing all fluids just for good measure after buying it with ~179k miles. Also changing the 90° EGR Elbow before it gives me trouble. A little preventative maintenance and these pickups will last a LONG time.

97 250LD 187,000 with plow. We only put 2500 miles on it in the last 2 years, so it could be a lot more.

If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for it. I've got a 2000 XLT with 188K that I will be selling soon.

173,000, 4.6 and still running strong, no leaks. Tranny (5 spd) is pretty noisy when you start off, other than that it is great..
