My husband Charles has been driving the same Ford F150 since 1996. As of Today, 2/4/2010 he reached the 300,000 (three hundred thousand) miles mark. He got his truck brand new, with a little less than 100 miles on it when he bought it. The motor is still intact, he has only had the transmission rebuilt about a year ago. He will not even look at buying another vehicle. This truck is his heart. He has replaced the door handles 3 times because they keep breaking. Which right now he is in need of a set of door handles. We have always been a Ford Family and there will never be another brand in our household. I myself had a 1998 Ford Explorer and passed it down to my daughter and my son will be getting a Ford when he is of age.
We will not drive another. We just wanted to share our story with you because of the miles on his truck.
