I had a 96 XLT Sport that had 300k+ on it. The only time it ever broke down was when the battery went bad which is common.

97k/7 years/ 13k per year

I bought it at 80k and have had it for a year and 2 months now.

 

[Eastcoastmod]

2003 limited 4.6 4x4 around 110k

6 wheel bearings (4 front, 2 rear)
rims because the crommies pealed and cracked
2 rear coil springs broke and 2 front because I wanted new ones
second set of shocks
Drivers door hinges
3 sets of brakes
3 sets of tires
front lower ball joints
battery

20,000$ in body work thanks to the wife's roll over while playing with it.
That included a new roof, all new glass, just about every pannel, 3 new doors and about a ton of bondo.

all sorts of tranny issues still not figured out. next step is the to have the solonoids checked. if they pass then the servo mod is being done
