Please, not everyone at once.

The highest mileage I ever got from a Ford was 134,000 with a 1991 Taurus.

When I sold my 2006 Pony convertible (4.0 V6 and automatic) last year I had 203,000 on it, original engine and transmission.

That car had a 75 shot of nitrous on it for 2 race seasons. Then at 90,000 miles the nitrous came off and the Xcharger was installed. The week before I sold it I was still running mid 12's. The new owner said it has 212,000 on it now, still running strong.

Holy cow. Are you serious. That's amazing bro. What was your secret? That's incredible mileage especially running it hard on track, nitrous, and supercharger.

Lol. I hear you on that. I only drive around 8,000 miles year on my stang and that's not enough. I love driving it. Sometimes my stang will sit in the garage for a week or two and I'll go through withdrawal about not driving it. Lol

In fact, in 09 my hay guy got the squeeze stuck in the mud at the turn around, buried to the axle. I yanked it out in 4x Low. Loaded and all. That's about 3.5 ton of hay. He couldn't believe it. I said the same thing to him "Over 250k, and still pullin!"

Just kept up regular maintenance. I had the oil analyzed every third change and was doing oil changes at 8,000 miles based upon the Blackstone Lab reports. I changed spark plugs every spring once the Xcharger was on. I only changed them because I pulled them to inspect them before race season and at $2 each might as well change them rather than clean them. Other than a cracked plug once they could have been used still.

I changed transmission fluid around 30 - 40,000 miles. I had to replace the alternator at 178,900 and the thermostat housing at 199,880.

I havent kept a car long enough to hit 200, but I keep most of them 8-10 years around 130-150,000 by then I am ready for something different. I keep them maintained, which I think is the key.

My '97 is at 200,200 or so. Summer daily driving is split between three of my cars, winter goes pretty much entirely to my mazda now. The '97 has seen enough Chicago winters.

Engine and trans and axle are original. None have ever been opened up. Closest was replacing the intake manifold on the engine for the plastic cross over issue, twice. It was first replaced under warranty with another plastic cross over manifold that made it to 192K.
