growing up too quick!

i bought her last year...8-5-2010 with 63k on her. today she rolled 77,000 at 77mph hehe

considering i daily drive two trucks, i've really racked the miles on the expedition.


what she had on her in sept 2009, when i first gave interest in buying it from my grandpas company.


what she looked like in sept 2009

haha next thing you know youll be giving them money and they wont return it once they are done with it. thats some good mileage you got. you must be the last person with a 98 with less than 100k on it. less than 80 at that.

 

[alaskanexpy]

yeah i know right! and in the last 13,000 or so miles i've had her...all shes asked for is plugs, oil changes and gas...who could ask for more from a $2500 truck?! lol

idk, there have been a few 97-98s going on CL here with 60-80k on them...asking much more then i paid for mine. gotta love knowing people

 

[walnuts4x4]

i'm creeping up on 100k.... got around 3k more to go... gonna be a sad day...lol

Ha, my Expedition is the lowest mileage vehicle I own and it has 155,000mi on it. My Focus has about 186,000 and my Saturn is pushing 220k.

Do you maintenence, treat them right and never worry about what that odo says.

I have 170,000 miles on my '99 Eddie Bauer edition, she still runs like a brand new one, I'll never part with her.

I have 285K on my 97.... havent had any major problems but this morning when i started it up i could hear a lifter rattling for about 1/4 mile

 

[alaskanexpy]

for the big 77k i decided to spend alittle on her. got some FX4 decals and smoked LED tails. waiting on the tails still.

 

[panda24619]

those are come nice fx4 decals!

 

[alaskanexpy]

over 1k in less then a month..and i've been racking them on the excursion too! shes about to roll 112k

low milege for a 98 Expy, the county sheriff/search n rescue out here where I live has a 1984 cucv Army truck with 9800 origional miles on it that they use as a plow truck i the winter time.

 

[Nathanialson 08]

and a couple of months ago I found a 07 Ford Expedition for sale that had 298K miles on it, how in the heck does that happen so fast with a new truck, especially as new as an 07?

 

[alaskanexpy]

idk, we had a 2011(built in april 2011) truck come in my shop a few weeks ago with 50k miles on it. it is used as a pilot car on the haul road (ice road truckers anybody?) so alot of seat time!

mines not going to be low mile for long if i keep this up lol

 

[tallsville]

its easy to put miles on vehicles. i had an 07 jeep patriot and had 50k on it in a year and half
