My Ford has hit the point at which stuff is going to wear out.

100,000 is nothing. I have 130,000 on the Tahoe and my daughter has 160,000 on the Civic.

If maintained correctly, these days 100k is just getting broke in. I wouldn't put her out to pasture just yet.

Hell, my truck had 99k when I bought it. But, your truck is a Ford, so it may be time to upgrade. Smile

195589.6 on my 2001 f150 super crew. never had a problem. I drive it 90 miles a day to work and back. can't beat a ford triton engine for longevity.

Cool pic of 100000.0 miles though.

Nice job on the 100K Doug! What year is it? I was told by my Benz dealer in 1977 that the US is just trade crazy. Parts are cheaper than a car note. I've kept my cars ever since. Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance but you already know that. My first was a used benz with 50 K on it. I drove it for 12 years and sold it for $2500 more that I paid for it plus it had 312000 miles on it. I know the guy that bought it and now it has 685000. My wife drove a Nissan Sentra and sold it at 286000 miles. I'm just not sure about all the new engines out there. That bothers me.

T is right. Lot's of maintenance! Spend the cash since you should not have a payment. Maintaining cars is like maintaining a woman. Gotta grease the wheels often. And remember a new engine is like a boob job!

My mom's GMC Jimmy is at 101k. She's thinking about getting something newer though.
