high mileage

Hello, I've been lurking around this forum for quite a while, but this is my first post. I've got an '04 SportTrac that is RWD with an estimated 290K on it. (the cluster has been dead since 2020 and reads 240k when it works) It's my daily driver and still runs well with no mechanical issues...

Hello everyone, this is my first thread and would like to share some information I have gathered on a couple oil change analysis I have had done with our 2011 Ford Explorer. Just a little background, we bought it in December of 2021 with about 118K. To be completely honest I am a gm guy as I own...

Hello just bought my first car and glad it's Ford, had 261,000 miles on it , got it for $1,200 tagged running but it didn't pass smog so I had to fix the EGR , then last year on December I took it to the shop for a tune up , motor craft Sparks , new wires , oil, coolant , fuel filter , air...

Hello I have a 2004 4.6 explorer with a little over 200K on it. Currently getting around 20 mpg at 70mph cruise control and wanted to see if anyone has any tips on getting a few more miles to the gallon. I use Mobil 1 high mileage, just changed front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, air...

I have a RWD, 2001 ford explorer sport, with the 4.0 SOHC engine, that has about 195k miles on what I assume is the original trans and engine. I inherited the truck from my late mother. I have put the last 15-20k miles on it with minor issues but now I have a nice clear rattle at cold start from...

Ok so I’ve been having issues with a combination of pulling to the right, shaking at higher speeds, and a whum whum sound that has a regular rhythm. Been chasing this gremlin for a little while but am getting tired of throwing money at it (more specifically the wife is getting tired of it) and...

I haven't done an introduction yet but to keep it short, I work at a Ford dealer and I have been looking at getting my wife an Explorer and trading her RX300 for a bit and I'm at a point where it makes sense now. We just traded in a 2012 Explorer Limited with just about everything you could get...

First off, Hello everyone! Excited to be part of a cool community of car owners :) Okay, so I am planning on taking a long road trip (Saint Louis to Pensacola, then to Sarasota) in my 200 Explorer XLT. I'm usually not one to worry about my car making it, but I haven't ever driven it this far...

Hi - I'm new to Ford Rangers. I bought a 2000 Ranger 2WD long bed. It has 237,000 miles on it. Is the car middle age, close to the end or just getting started. Transmission was DIY rebuilt (says the prior owner) about 4K miles ago Thanks

I have a 1992 Ford Explorer 4x4 that starts off fine when its cold but after it warms up the transmission fails. Is this just a maintenance issue or does it have to be replaced?

Hey everyone, I have an '02 Mounty with nearly 140k miles. I am the second owner and have had regular maintenance on the car for the last year. I've never ha a high mileage car before, and need to know if it's a bad idea to take a 300 mile road trip in warm weather (mid 70's). I plan to...

So I may be in possession of a Black 2002 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD 4DR, it has 200K+ miles on it, mainly freeway driven between San Diego & Orange County, free from a family member, just need to pay insurance and registration. So my question is, is it worth making it look cool, like a prerunner...
