Just replaced my engine in my 2001 with 320,000 miles. Still worked great but it was getting a little tired and I had an opportunity to get a used with 56,000.

A tick over 161,000 and no engine problems whatsoever. She hauls butt in the lower elevations and kicks butt in the mountains.

163,000 on my 2000x, was at the grand canyon railway this summer their shuttle van was a 3/4 ton van with 395,000, and the guy said they drive the dog out of it everyday. No problems as far as he had heard.

A guy at my cousins work has a V10 van used for expediting, with over 1 million miles and still going strong. Never had the valve covers off!

a million....., now thats what I call longevity!! I could never keep a vehicle that long, I live in the north, the body would rust right off it by the time it hit a million miles, or half that for that matter...

171,000 & counting. 2000 F350 cc 4x4 longbox. runs better now then the day I drove it off the lot. I use it for a daily driver & to tow my 13500lb toyhouller. Wouldn't change it for anything, except maybe a new v10!!!

I'll give up my Excursion when Al Gore pries it out of my cold dead hands. But I would like to have a newer one.

Like the energizer bunny they keep going,going an going. I wouldnt be surprised to see some off these V 10s hit 500,000 miles. But you know you kind off expect that when you drive a Ford. They run forever without much problems.

Barrel,
I agree as the miles increase, the truck seems to wake up. I heard the magic number seems to be 7500 and 10000 miles. I definately like seeing these big mileage vehicles. A buddy of mine sets up dynos and he has always said, the v-10 is bullet proof
