Im in Canada but seen the new F-series commercial the other day basicly saying that they last longer and are garentied 250,000 kms my 4.2 is ready for 202,000kms who can argue? Fords the best damn truck there is! I say if its young or old any year fords just keep working!

 

My 99 had over 245'000 kms, sold it yesterday. Hard to sell even tho its one of the better trucks out there.

 

What are you replacing it with?

 

01 civic coupe, fuel mileage is the reason I'm getting one of these.

 

that's only around 150K miles. If I buy anything that has significant problems with less 150K miles then I'll never buy that again!

 

thats cool man but i hate civics manly because alot of the people who drive them are really stupid good luck hard to get rid of a relible truck i know mines gonan be around for awhile 202,300kms hehe the commercial is based on information/data gatherd since 1992 fact is more people buy fords trucks and get well past 250,000kms ive seen a 1999 with 334,000 kms and its runs very well still being worked its a Lariat Long Box

 

Yeah, I have been researching for my next vehicle for 2 months now, waiting for the right buy. I really made my decision on re-sale value, not brand (even tho they say they're built to last). I wanted a zx3 (I'm in a ford family) but couldnt find a decent one, and because of its less than ideal re-sale. Thanks for the luck, hopefully I don't get a lemon lol.

 

I saw a similar American commercial, it said that there are more Ford trucks with over 250K miles on the road than Dodges or Chevies. Since Ford sells the most trucks to begin with, the commercial isn't saying anything more than that Fords aren't significantly less reliable than Dodge or Chevy.

My dad's old F-150 made it past 250K kms but not without a significant number of trips to the dealer.

 

A kid I was talking to at a farm show near me was talking about his Ford superduty with over 300,000 miles with just standard maintenance an wear items such as brakes an tires replaced. Only a Ford could do that he said. He said the truck has pulled very heavy loads its whole life an was used a abused. Lets see a Dodge or Chevy do that he said. No way. I also know another guy who had 425,000 miles on his 85 150 with a 300 six. Used that hard its whole life. A Ranger with over 500,000 miles. Typical Ford run forever with little maintenance. The stories go on an on.

 

My trucks had only maitnence and before I owned it it was a consturtion vehicle and now its a scrap metel/car hauler its a V6!

 

Rah, rah, rah.

 

my grandpas 1972 F-250 had 372,000kms when he sold it still ran I also know that a old teacher had 303,000kms on her 1989 Lariat

 

Sorry guys, but farmers and irrigators in the Central Valley in CA regularly run Chevies up to 300,000 or 400,000 miles rather reliably.

Any of the big 3 will do it.

 

Very True but more fords do it Farmers run any of the big 3 mostly fords tho i know a old farmer who put 432,000 on a 1986 F-150 Explorer fulled grain wagons the hole bundle the truck actully still runs but now hes got a 2500 Dodge Cummins and hes had to replace the clutch

 

Ok yeah fords will last a long time, but at the same time, dodges have quite a few high milage trucks out there too. Any truck if taken care of will put out reliable service for a lot of years and miles......
