Who has the most miles on the odometer of their expedition?

[2000ttownexpy]

2000 5.4 2WD bought it with 121k March 2011 -- sitting at 137,5xx now. Since I've had it I've replaced 1 coil, spark plugs, serpentine belt, alternator. Due soon - shocks and both front wheel bearings.

Was a one owner rig that was also hauled behind a motor home... so at least some of the miles are just free wheelin'.

Drives like a dream. Couple oddities with the tranny, but nothing super concerning yet.

Drove my 2003 5.4 XLT off the lot when the speedometer showed 1 mile. She'll turn over 250,000 miles on the way to speak in North Carolina on Tuesday. I think I had to spend $125 on her once. 2 suspect spark plug coils. That's all, except the required fluid changes. Original everything (except consumables). Hard to believe all these stories. I'm in Louisville.... so I think they actually make them here now -- in the Ford plant on the NE side of the city. After this trip to NC this week, I'm thinking I'll contact the plant manager and ask him if I can drive it over, thank him personally, volunteer to speak at some kind of plant managers' meeting or something. They must get thousands of complaints -- and I wonder if *anyone* has ever taken time to say thanks. If you ask me, it's kind of a marvel of engineering. Mine still shows that it's getting 15 mpg city, but on highway, if I'm careful, I can still get above 17 mpg. I can't remember when I changed the plugs. (Maybe they're eternal? ) I always make sure I wash and wax it when I go see my mother (84 years old), because I love to hear her say, "My goodness... is this still the same vehicle???" I think it makes her feel younger, you know?

I've tried to save for spare parts, along the way. (I have quite a big savings account now.) I was wondering... if and when anything goes wrong, wouldn't I be money ahead to just get it fixed and keep driving it?

Not bad, snagged mine for only $2,000, windshields cracked aswell, the one brake and blinker didn't work but that was easy enough to fix and it needed a new bulb in the headlight. So only spent $20 or so so far.

Just got my 2007 Expedition EL about a 1 1/2 ago, it only had 19,000 miles on it, I am sitting at 40,000 now and I have been deployed for 2 years. LOL (I will not disclose how much I spent on mine, buying wise) LOL As far as maintenance, I haven't had to do anything, just upgrades.

1998 Expedition 5.4L

321,300 original engine, trans only replaced tires, brakes, alt, heater core, ball joints ,plugs, and 2 coils . This has been the best truck I have ever had. Still getting 16 mpg.

 

[jrjr]

Got my 97 with 130,000
132,000 now

 

[AirmanHarrison]

My 05 E.B has 106,129 hasnt caused me to much hassle, routine oil changes, now doing sparks and belt. Only had the Rad blow out on me which was my major issue as our other car was off the road. It still doesnt miss a beat

 

[oscarmachuca11]

04 with only 46k ... Truck wasnt driven for about 2 years until i took over

 

[Slinkcoma]

172,000 on a 99' 5.4 XLT that I just bought two days ago for $3000. I sold my 04' F-150 supercab and got the expedition. I'm really pleased with the switch. These expeditions are great. Many upgrades to play with that the F150's dont have. I have many questions because I'm very new to these. I've always owned trucks but my wife is pregnant with our 2nd child and we travel back and forth to Boston alot, so i ditched the bed and went with the 3rd row. I'm really looking forward to our first road trip in this thing I cant wait.

99 xlt. 205,000 Still running strong.

 

[FordandPolaris]

Took mine over two years ago at about 165,000 miles. Now pushing 195,000 miles with no real problems. Couple of alternators, ball joints, and consumables. Couldn't ask for a better vehicle.

 

[rburch]

I'm at 224,000 now!

Wow, I thought I was "up there" with 141,000 miles, but so many people have way more than that! Love this truck!!
