[300k+ trev]

Hey everyone, been following a few posts on here as I've done some repairs to my explorer. Seems like a great community, happy to be here!!

Little background: I got my explorer from my uncle who had bought it brand new. He always babied it when it came to routine maintenance. It's a 2000 4.0 sohc 4x4 I received it in 2013 with 238k it's now 2019 and I've got 303k still all original besides I replaced the radiator at 285k. Which was original. Just did the wheel hub a few days ago, now in the middle of doing the right CV axle.

Welcome to the forum. It's always great to hear about the high mileage Explorers. There are a lot of them!

Welcome to this forum! How many miles do you put on each year?

Thanks! For about a year and a half I was commuting to work in it. ~180 miles round-trip. Was doing that 6 days a week so it was about 1000 a week or so. I now work right down the street from my house so in the last year I've put about 2k on it just driving around town
