Who has the Most Miles 2007 EL Expedition

[TinkaBella]

Hellooooo

I am just curious and would like to know what are the most miles on a 2007 EL Expedition?
I ask because I am trying to reach MOST Miles ever
My girl (Cinderella) has 312,998 no engine work ever done. Only changing spark plugs and coils
I run Mid Grade gasoline and Seafoam High mileage in her. I also have always used Valvoline

Thanks Yawl

My '07 has only 145,000, once I got rid of the original plugs it's been trouble free. Oil changes at every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. It's not as clean as yours but is a rust free Florida truck.

 

[ccssid]

at 37k now. working towards 350k. 2021 limited. I also use valvoline every 4-5000 miles

I have an 08 with 235,000 miles on the clock, had very few issues with it, changed all the transmission fluids (including differentials and transfer box) every 70,000 miles new shocks at 160,000 miles and new disk brakes on all 4 wheels at 180k miles. I hope it will make 350k miles, it’s as clean as yours inside and out and has been fantastic, it regularly pulls our toy hauler..

My '07 has 320k miles. When doing the timing a few years ago, I discovered that the engine is a Ford reman and I don't recall the date on the tag. I've owned her since 2017 when it had 212k miles on it.

my '07 Eddie Bauer is at 295k, some repairs
shocks twice, cam phasers, right cam shaft broken rocker arm, full front end rebuild , leaky rear main seal, rack and pinon, front drive shaft seals, among a few other thing, break ,light switch twice, leaky transmission seal on the plugin, leaky rear diff did a rebuild, currently rear air dampener is popping, this is the second time for this repair all repairs started after about 125k, the leaky connections on heater hoses, and spark plugs 3 times just did them again, coils with aftermarket
that's is a few repairs, everything works except for dash noise maker turn signals and the like and drivers vanity mirror light

bought a '22 limited in Dec 22 love it but kept the 07 as my bidder truck
man does that 400 HP v6 have some get up and go

You’re giving me hope.

How long and heavy is your toy hauler?

I’m doing everything I can to keep ours until 300,000 but we regularly take cross-continent trips with our 7,000lb trailer and I’m wondering how much that might affect its life.

It’s a 2019 max platinum and no issues so far but I needed brakes changed by 60,000 miles including one caliper. Ontario road salt probably killed it.

Our trailer weighs about 6500lb loaded and have had it several years.
Things that went awry when hauling:
A spark plug went bad with intermittent misfiring.
A Prestone engine backflush coupler melted off, luckily I was able to limp to a hardware store and put a brass coupler on and back on the road within an hour. DON'T EVER put this backflush thing on.
A radiator hose blew off, I put it back on and filled with water from an unoccupied business.
The water pump went bad.
In some course of its history I accidently put a 7/8" radiator in, prior to start hauling this trailer, and it could not cool efficiently.
I replaced the radiator with the standard 1-1/4" (superduty cooling) one and no problems of overheating.
The Mexican version of the car has a 2-1/4" radiator, but from my research, it doesn't fit, as the transmission cooler fittings are on the wrong side and doesn't have power steering cooling connections.
Moral of the story, stuff happens. Cars are man made and don't last forever. Be sure ALL your fluids are in good shape and topped of for summer hauling and don't push it too hard.

Nice to see high mileage gen3's on the road!

We have an 09 with 235k. The list of parts is long. . . .

All 4 Struts, front wheel bearings (needs rears), 1 ball joint, brake booster, master cylinder, front calipers, full timing kit, water pump, radiator, thermostat, all cooling related rubber hoses, several interior door handles, a few exterior door handles, 2 window regulators, transmission bulkhead connector, transmission wiring harness, AC blower motor, AC compressor, both Thermal expansion valves for the AC, fuel pump, fuel filter a couple times.

Its needs a drivers side door latch again, passenger window regulator, new front side windows (desert scratches them terribly), clunk in the front end so I suspect it needs a bushing or something. We are at a point where it seems this truck needs something every week. . .

Our friends 08 Expy went 300K and needed only basic maintenance.

 

[Stephen Dunster]

275K on my 2013 with no motor or tranmission work other than plugs every 100K. Timing chain rattles for a second at start up, but it has done that since 100K. I did O2 sensors at 250K as preventive maintenance. Replaced all the ball joints, upper control arms and sway bar links chasing a clanking noise when hitting bumps at low speed. Turned out the front caliper pins get loose on these and F150, so I replaced front brake calipers. Mobil 1 extended protection oil changes every 15K. Coolant system flush every 100K, transmission flush every 60K and differential fluid at 200K.

My 07 Limited has 443,000 with factory motor and transmission. I have done the cam phasers other than that the torque converter shutter just stared. Just regular maintenace for mine.

 

[Josha907]

2007 with 280000 and a 2014 with 274000 about to take it on a 3000 mile journey!! And picking up a 2014 king ranch El on the way home. Great trucks if you change the oil more often the the 7000 mile oil change intervals

Well I have only towed a double axle uhaul trailer from Texas to Washington. It towed like a CHAMP I really did not even know the trailer was back there

OH YEA that gives me so much HOPE I am looking at going at least 500,000 or more. I want to keep this Thread going to see how far this CHAMP OF A VEHICLE will go without any MAJOR changes such as Tranny or Motor.
