Seriously, I don't consider a passenger car going 120,k miles that great.
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer. It has over 158,k miles on it. I'm still
waiting for the first repair. In that time, its...
been in a hail storm.
rear ended once.
Hit by a drunk driver (interestingly, it was hit just after it was rear
ended (about a month.) I hadn't fixed the bumper yet and the drunk driver
hit me in the rear quarter panel.)
Has a snow plow on front of it.
Tows trailers, boats, cars, etc (and I'm not good enough at *math* to make
sure I'm always under it's tow capacity.)
Been in multiple "disaster" scenarios for our preparedness drills. I had
it decked out as a police truck and it did a bit of "rough" duty.
Been off road LOTS of times
Is a primary driver
Been in lots of snow storms
Driven from NJ to AZ down the Baja Peninsula and back.
Sat for over a year while I was in Iraq.
Is currently sitting now.
The only things I've worked on was regular wear items. Other than that,
this truck has been great!
