My husband owns a 1985 F-150 and it has the original engine and it has gone to zero on mileage twice now. The only thing he has put into it is a muffler,break lines, breaks, tires, and a battery. He has patched up rust spots on bed of truck. As long as you change the oil, keep it maintained it should last.

I agree. No reason to ditch her yet. I drove an old 1980 Mustang, and we sold it after it got rear-ended by some dumb kid in a lifted truck. Took out the taillights and bent the hatch. She had 262,000+ on the odometer when she went to someone at my dad's work. He replaced the taillights and hatch, and still drives it from time to time. Oh, and I would've replaced the parts myself, but we got an '81 Chevy pickup for free, and since the Mustang was being used mostly like a truck (even hauled bags of dirt once) it was a no-brainer to go with the truck.

How about a 99 Suburban with 700,000 miles. No kidding. That's a true story. My Ford couldn't make over 100,000 without putting in a new motor. What do you think I'll buy next time?

it depends on preventitive maintainence if you do take care or it it could get a ton of miles check all your fluids flush a few pm will cost you less than repair and it also will help you vehicle last almost forever i hav seen a 99 ranger have 320,000 miles on it a couple days ago with the original engine and trans rangers can be work horses if you just take care of them
