How many miles so far?

As the title implies....looking to see how many miles everyone's racking up on their 6.2. I just turned 19,000 on my way to work today.

13k miles and the only issue I had was the TRAILER DISCONNECTED message. That was due to a faulty TBC module, dealer said that there was a lot of them affected.

Kind of funny when I was on the highway pulling a TT and the dash lit up with that message, I almost had a freakin' heart attack LOL.

I love this truck!

104,000 km (abt 65k miles) although I have only put 6000km of that on it since I bought it in Sept. I can hardly wait till June as we are going to take it to Tennessee hauling our 34 1/2ft travel trailer and the wifes sister and hubby. So I will have about a 4000 mile real world towing test.

20k or so on mine (picked up 12/2010). Now that I'm working from home, my miles are even less than before..

I had a $19 4wd relay go bad (completely disabling the 4wd system), and a few other odds & ends, nothing major though...

45000 on my 12. My trailer brake controller also went bad, I would be driving down the road with no trailer hit a bump and get a message " trailer disconnected " then next bump " trailer connected". Other than that I havn't done anything else.

I have 3,600 miles with no problems! I like to read the higher mileage posts. Seems like the 6.2 is a good reliable motor that Ford will keep producing.

19800 bought it last week of July. I'm getting the "Trailer Disconnected" message but haven't taken it back yet. I also have a small rust spot starting on my passengers side door. I'm going to take a pic and start a separate post about it. Other then that I LOVE this truck!

I got 21500 on mine. Got it Feb, 18, 2011. Have not been to the dealer for anything and only added extra things to mine. I love the truck and has done everything I asked of it. I just sent in a sample of my oil to see how it's holding up after 20,000 miles.

Oct. 2010 and 32k. Satellite receiver went out at 20k and was replaced no questions asked.

It's been a gas sucking pig but it has been reliable.
