2000 EB bought new currently @ 125K. Running great. Regular maintenance and one prior $700 electrical issue. Last week the odometer light started going out and then on at random periods of time. Have not looked into it yet but hope it is not an expensive repair.

Good question, original? If so this has to be a poster child for Ford.

Seen one on CL yesterday with 460k, needing work

I am going out on a limb here and I haven't looked at many posts. I would bet the higher mileage units will be first generation after 97. I say that not because they are just older rigs but because the late 04's up with the phaser engines just have too many things going bad wrong. Sadly you still see those same problems at the end of that crappy engine run, just had a guy with a 2011 with 99k post, dead engine.

Unlike the F150's, 2004 Expeditions still have the 2v Triton engine. My 2004 now has 207,500 on the odometer.

Actually it started out 2002 in the Australian Fairmont, then in 2004 for the f150 pickup, then as Snag said 2005 in the Expedition. Next year production can be as early as April or May of previous year like in the 1965 Mustang, but as a rule, after October can be the next year. Makes it hell on parts Managers like me trying to get right parts. I used to go a year back and a year forward when I couldn't match customers parts for replacement.

2nd owner's story goes that truck was all original driveline wise when he purchased, i think he said @ ~ 200k clicks

he claimed then taking it to ~ 370k with mostly highway runs to the cottage, that's when my daughter purchased it as a first car & ran it another 5 years

mentioned it already & just to be clear, it is kilometers

so far with us, basics like brakes, suspension bits, starter & rad, a few plugs & coils..

119k here, which is good cause I'm in no mood of trying to maintain a high milage car again any time soon. I say that cause one of my previous cars which I owned since new 03 Chevy Monte w/ 3.4L that car had 774,*** on it (original never rebuilt motor but several transmissions later) & it would've kept going had I not been T-boned to all hell by a drunk driver in a guess what??? A 2nd gen expedition.

Oh the irony.

SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR thousand miles???????!!!!

Happy to say that I'm back in the competition now. My odometer stopped at 223K a few years ago. Finally went into the dashboard and fixed it today. Already added 20 miles to it.
