How many miles per year?
Just out of curiosity, on average how many miles does everyone put on their vehicles per year? What major repairs, if any, were needed after 100k. Whats the most miles anyone has put on their Expie's Triton 5.4.?
I know there will be different variables for each person, but it would be interesting to know.

'98 Expy has 123,000 miles. It will be 6 years in June and will probably have 135k on it. So far only plug, wires and a coil. $ sets of brake pads. It will need rotors with the next set.

Just traded in my '98 at 118K...averaged about 20K/year(bought used with 34K on it in 2000).
In the 4 years I owned it I NEVER had a problem...
Until the Load Leveling system went out at 104K and after recurring problems I finally installed a coil spring conversion kit just before I traded it in. I'll spare you the details but lets just say I'll never buy another vehicle with air suspension as an option.

Owned my Expy for 81 months. Built May 21, 1997. I have 125K miles on it so that's 18, 500 or so miles per year average. I've had no breakdowns ever, and nothing needed but routine maintenance after 100K miles. It'a great truck!

I got my 99 XLT 4X4, 4.6, with 7 miles on it on July 1st, 1999... Since then I have put 49,000(by the end of this week for sure) miles on her... I guess that puts me about 11,000 a year including vacations to Northern Wisconsin a couple times a year...
*Brakes all the way around, with 2 new front rotors in Jan. '03
*The link for the front sway bar disappeared on the passenger side so replaced both sides with polyurethanes...
*Now it has a hesitation and sputter all the time that gets really bad when wet or humid... I have had the plugs and wires done but that didn't cure it... next up is the 2 coil packs... And then I plan to replace the IAC(I read about it here, so I hope thats the right name) within the next month...
