The V10 and the Diesel, (anything that goes in the van), is designed to be more than average dependable so they can be used in ambulances.

It is a real consideration by Ford to ensure your ride to the hospital is not interrupted by vehicle failure.

 

My 03 F450 has 142,000, and my 09 F550 has 2,700 miles so far.

 

The longest lasting vehicle I have had so far was a geo metro with over 300k on it. gunna be a couple years before I hit that mileage with my ford...

 

Holy crap! Was it the 3cyl model?

 

228,758 and runs better than ever!

 

Absolutely... I have had one with 220k one with 196k and one that had over 300k. I had a 100 mile round trip to work every day and my wife had an 80 mile trip. we used the same car most of the time and it was usually a geo metro. 3cyl, 1.0 liter, 55hp, 56ft/lbs torque, and 50mpg. The ultimate economy car.... Those metros saved us so much money its unbelievable. Now im on the opposite side of the spectrum with a V10.... love it though...



Oh ya, my communte to work now is 1.5 miles. I can fill the tank once a month if I only drive to work.

 

i have 286 000 and change on my 1999

 

"Who has the most miles on their V10?"

With just a hair shy of 50,000 miles on my '06, it's not me! Although, as many may or may not know, my old '93 F150XL was sold with 267,000 miles on the clock. She ran like a top, long live Ford's 300cid I6.

I met one gentleman at the Sears Tire and Battery I worked part time at and he brought in a '92 F150 with the 300cid I6 and it had 450,000 miles on it. Oh yeah, the truck and the poor motor looked it too. Buuuut, it was still running w/ no smoke out the tail pipe!

Enjoy,

yea those old 300-six's were amazing motors..

i had a 88 F150 with well over 450K kms on the original engine and 3-speed auto tranny combo..
truck was BEAT... but it ran every dam day...kinda miss it sometimes in a weird sort of way, hahaha

 

You still see lots of those older f150s with the I6. My dad had one years ago but that truck never saw 100k, he hit a tractor trailor head on and it was totaled. lucky everyone was ok...

 

I think you mean 97 E250 with 5.4L v8 it have 1,080,000 miles now

 

No, that one is from Ohio, The guy with the V10 is in Illinois, near McHenry.

 

Thats a crazy amount of miles. Im hoping to see 200k out of mine but who knows...

 

I have about 134,000 on my 99 F250. And it still runs strong pulling a 12,500 lb. 5th wheel, with 2,900 lb. pin weight. :-)

 

I just rolled over 142,000 on my 99 xlt super cab and still goin strong. never had any problems except for three COP's. tranny is still strong too. glad to hear 200,000 miles is no problem for the v 10. would love to get a 05 or newer soon
