Just curious on how long the typical Tranny life has been for the 04-07 models?

Ford has typically stated in the past that Ford parts have an expected lifespan of 150,000 miles. Obviously that will vary by application, user, what the truck has been used for, and the maintenance history.
Lots of users here are closing in on 200,000 miles on the original trans.

My '05 has 228,000 miles on it and the transmission still performs as good as new.
I drop the pan every 35K +/- miles, change the filter every other time, then refill with Merc V. (And I use Advance Auto house brand Merc V.)
